Are Panthers targeting Russell Wilson with intentional grounding rule proposal?

Every weekday morning, we'll round up local and national Seattle Seahawks-related links.

One of the rule proposals at the owners meetings this week could be aimed at Russell Wilson, writes Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times:

One of the 19 proposals for new rules that will be discussed includes one suggested by the Carolina Panthers seeking to expand the definition of intentional grounding — essentially making just about any pass that can’t reasonably be caught potentially grounds for grounding.

The proposal comes two months after the Panthers played the Seahawks in a divisional playoff game, before which it was reported that Carolina “sought clarification’’ from the NFL on what is and isn’t intentional grounding.
