No, Russell Wilson isn’t asking for a trade. He’s publicly angry. He’s repeatedly called out the Seattle Seahawks management. His agent listed four teams – Dallas, New Orleans, Las Vegas and Chicago – he’d waive a no-trade clause to play for.
I make back-channel calls. I sell what’s happening here. And I do enough due diligence to know the cost if Wilson becomes available in trade. The Dolphins, after all, have draft assets to offer than any other team mentioned.
If this sounds like my repeated refrain for Houston’s DeShaun Watson — why wouldn’t it be? There are two elite quarterbacks in differing stages of their prime maybe, possibly, on the market this offseason.
