Seahawks Reportedly ‘Wouldn’t Rule Out’ Trading Russell Wilson

More Russell Wilson trade talk.

The Seattle Seahawks are saying one thing in public, they have no intention of trading Russell Wilson, but NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport isn’t sure they aren’t considering trading Russell Wilson.

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, the NFL insider was asked about all the recent hoopla surrounding Wilson and his future, and he believes there’s still a chance he gets traded.

“I would say I don’t think so but I would not rule it out,” Rapoport said. “All those words are true: they are not shopping him, they have no intention to deal him, I think he’d like to be there. But as general manager John Schneider said earlier in the week to reporters, when people call, he listens.”

Seahawks GM told reporters this week that he out of courtesy always answers inquiries about Wilson.

“Well, it’s rude, you know what I mean? I have relationships around the league,” Schneider said, via the The News Tribune. “When somebody calls on a specific person, or on a specific player, or during the coaching process and coaching-hiring process, you obviously have to return those calls. You can’t just blow people off.

“Of course they take their shots. I would, right? I would be doing the same thing. If I read something in the media I’d be like ‘Well, shoot, go for it. See what’s up. Can we do that?”

This feels like last year all over again.

More posturing and talk about Russell leaving, which ultimately may just end up being nothing at  all.

That feels most likely the case.
