Report: Russell Wilson had 14 teams that he was considering before landing in Denver

The ballyhooed “no-trade clause” was one of the biggest and most frequently referenced factors that often came up when discussing the once-prospective topic of a Russell Wilson deal. To phrase that more simply, the single largest obstacle to a trade seemed to be the fact that the aforementioned Super Bowl winning quarterback would want to be able to ultimately refuse any request that was sent to Seattle’s front office. And at one point, this seemed highly prohibitive; most teams that would be willing to pay such a steep price for the beleaguered signal caller would have seemed like a far less hospitable destination than the once fertile, Championship-spawning ground of the VMAC.
