Could Pete Be Gone Before Seasons End?

I wouldn't quote Clayton as a great source for your argument. I think he's well past his prime and heading towards the dottering old fools stage of life.

The fact is Wilson's agent has provided a number of teams he would waive his no trade clause for. That simply doesn't happen if the player has
no intention of moving on. Wilson and his agent also have back door communications with the media like Cowherd or former players. No matter what
you might think of them as journalists, they are being used by the Wilson camp to present his feelings or wants. So it's really down to who goes, is it
going to be Pete ore Russ?

Russ has made a very clear statement denying the report, both himself and in a direct communication with Heaps, that’s the bottom. Sure wouldn’t use Cowherd as a defense.

Which was countered by his agent.
Russ plays the political game in football. He doesn't ruffle feathers personally, he has others do it for him to give him cover for the statements made.

He was very clear in his communication with Jake Heaps who said “I’m telling you this from the mouth of Russell Wilson - is not real. Russell Wilson wants to remain a Seattle Seahawk. That is as clear cut as I can tell you”.
RW has put this out thru several outlets, so the story from Jordon Schultz (what’s his source?? He didn’t give one) Russ has called it bogus. We know 80% of these NFL reporter stories are nothing, but the fans and other NFL reporters love to run wild with these kinds of things.

Whether or not the rumored 3 team list was real or not is beside the point. What Russell thinks at this moment doesn't matter a whole lot because we couldn't trade him now even if both parties wanted to. What matters is what he feels like after the season is over in January.

Besides, Russell can always say "Well, I really did want to be here for 20 years, but it just didn't work out that way", or something like that. There's a difference between "want" and "will".

I don't understand why the call on the one yard line against New England in the super bowl should be considered dynasty killing. It is not responsible for loss of talent and personnel changes that followed. In and of itself it was just a super bowl title that was squandered. Unless you define a dynasty as winning more than one Super Bowl in close together , a pr seasons, that is.

.

Back to back is rare , a baby dynasty at least. And the Seahawks. were a yard from it . And the way it went down ? Handing the ball to Russ to throw over the middle from the 1 with everyone jammed in there . The SI article made plain that even before that players thought Russ got different treatment . Many speculated PC wanted Russ to win MVP instead of Beast. And anyone tired of Pete’s happy talk whistling in the graveyard now don’t rewind his all the play either . “We wanted to waste a play there .” Huh? PC lost by going away from what he does and says he wants to do with a hall of fame back at the ready averaging 5 yards a pop. The trip to Hawaii to mend things arranged by Russ was described as a-joke by players , a pr stunt . From the time Russ was drafted 11-5 lost by a whisker in Atlanta in the divisional. Win Super Bowl. Lose Super Bowl in the most horrific fashion ever . Since then 3-5 in the postseason and surely missing our second postseason in the last 4 years . Yeah it killed a dynasty. We had a window to be the 80s 90s cowboys and win 2 or 3 .

Agreed. Had we won back-to-back Lombardis, it would have put us in a company that only a handful of teams have ever done in the SB era: 67-68 Packers, 73-74 Dolphins, 79-80 Steelers, 89-90 49'ers, 93-94 Cowboys, 98-99 Broncos. and of course, this century's Patriots. A lot of really good teams, including the Giants, Redskins, and Raiders, never won back-to-back titles. It's an opportunity that some of us Seahawk fans will likely never see again in our lifetimes.
