‘Russell Wilson Is Going Nowhere’ – Seahawks Teammate K.J. Wright Smashes Trade Rumors
Russell Wilson-led Seattle Seahawks have been constant playoff challengers over the last couple of seasons. Under the tutelage of coach Pete Carroll, the Seahawks have turned into a consistent unit. They started off their 2020 NFL campaign on a strong note but dipped midway through the season.
They still went on to be crowned NFC West Champions last year. However, they suffered a shock 20-30 loss to divisional rivals Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Playoffs. Despite a disappointing end to the campaign, Russell Wilson put up some decent numbers in the regular season yet again.
But as things stand, Wilson could have already played his last game as a Seattle Seahawks player.

One person who thinks that Dange’Russ’ Wilson is going nowhere this summer is Seahawks outside linebacker, K.J. Wright. The 32-year old veteran claims Wilson means ‘too much to this city’ and will remain in Seattle when the season starts in September.
He said, “I was kind of caught off-guard myself but looking back at it, Russ isn’t going anywhere. As long as I’m in Seattle, Russ is going to be the quarterback. He means too much to us. He means way too much to this organization, he means way too much to this city.”
“Usually people want to come to Seattle, not leave Seattle. I’m sure him and the organization will get things figured out. He’s somebody that I admire and love playing with, so I expect Russ to be with the Seahawks for a very long time,” Wright said on the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
Wright himself is currently negotiating a contract extension with his current employers. It is clear that coach Carroll and the Seahawks management have a busy summer ahead of them. But can they manage to hold on to some of their big-name superstars? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
