The blockbuster trade that sent quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos was among the most impactful of a busy NFL offseason. Trade speculation for the veteran quarterback had been going on for over a year, and though Wilson said publicly that he was happy in Seattle, it appears that at least one factor in his desire to leave the Seahawks had to do with former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer helmed the Seahawks’ offense from 2018 to ’20, with Seattle finishing in the top-10 in scoring offense each season. Despite that relative success, he and Wilson did not see eye-to-eye on the team’s offensive philosophy, sources told Corbin K.
