Maybe it will be a moot point. Maybe Russell Wilson and the Seahawks will use Monday’s contract deadline, set by him, as the impetus to hammer out an 11th-hour deal that would end, once and for all, the wild speculation about the quarterback’s future.
But maybe that deadline will pass, with Wilson still in the same place: Approaching the final year of his contract without an extension in hand. And then, it would be open season on rumors, innuendo and predictions regarding how this impasse would play out.
The scenario that seems to be gaining the most buzz is that the Seahawks should, or could, or will, trade the most successful quarterback in franchise history.
