Seahawks Are Reportedly Now Taking Calls for Russell Wilson

The Seattle Seahawks are not actively trying to trade their star QB. Russell Wilson is also not asking for a trade, but he did provide four teams he’d be willing to play for. Now the chess game has taken another step forward, as reports are suggesting the Seahawks have begun answering calls on Russell. They aren’t “shopping” the quarterback, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN but they’re listening to offers.

Russini told the Pat McAfee Show Thursday there have been calls made in both directions about a deal:

Sounds like the ball is rolling, and now that the process has begun, there may be no going back now.

Russell could be on his way out of Seattle soon enough.

Russell would accept deals to the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders or Chicago Bears.
