Could Russell Wilson be traded? A lengthy writeup on the star quarterback’s friction with the Seattle Seahawks suggests it’s possible. The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar, Mike Sando and Jayson Jenks reported on years of growing discord between Wilson and Seattle’s braintrust, and it’s well worth reading. Unease centering on Seattle’s depleted supporting cast and a lack of trust in Wilson’s ability to carry a pass-first offense has created a situation that sure looks unsustainable.
