Did you see the photo from the Pro Bowl this weekend of Jonathan Allen and Russell Wilson?
On Monday morning, Kevin Sheehan, in the first and third hours of his daily show on the Team 980, stated because of the sources he talked to that were in Las Vegas this past week, he is confident that “Russell Wilson is not against being traded to Washington.”
Would Seattle trade Wilson? He is under contract, and would Washington be willing to pay enough to outbid other NFL teams desiring an elite starting quarterback?
Sheehan proposed that if Wilson were to assemble a list of teams to whom he was willing to be traded, he now believes Wilson would include Washington on the list.
Sheehan did not rule out Aaron Rogers, stating he believes Rodgers is better than Wilson and would instantly make the Commanders a contender. He also added that Deshaun Watson is the youngest of the three and would be the ideal choice if Washington’s primary interest were how long they could have one of the three under center. Sheehan did acknowledge no one knows if Washington would even pursue Watson with his current legal issues.
Sheehan said he would choose Rodgers over Wilson if he had a choice for three seasons. Former Washington Redskins safety Mark Murphy the current Chief Executive Officer for the Packers, made it clear over the weekend that the Packers desire Rodgers to return to Green Bay.
Wilson has two years remaining on his contract and would become a free agent following the 2023 NFL season.
Sheehan warned Commanders fans that the franchise would be “mortgaging their future” to trade for either Wilson or Rodgers (five years older than Wilson), and then he took calls from listeners.
