The Seattle Seahawks have one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now in Russell Wilson, but how will they fare in the near future?
Touchdown Wire took a look at the quarterback situations for all 32 NFL teams to produce rankings of all of the teams’ outlooks. To determine the results, a “blue-ribbon panel” of one former head coach, two former general managers and one current general manager were consulted on their opinions.
Writes Pat Yasinskas:
Russell Wilson might be playing better than any other quarterback in the league right now. And it might be the same case in 2023, the last year of his current contract. He’ll turn 35 that year, but still could be playing in his prime. Wilson is having an MVP-type season this year. His backup is Geno Smith at the moment, but Smith is only under contract for this year. It doesn’t matter all that much, because Wilson has been durable.

With Wilson at the helm, Touchdown Wire determined the Seahawks ranked second-best in the league. Only the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes were higher.
Yasinskas continues:
One of our panelists called Wilson a transcendent talent, (“He showed you don’t have to be 6-foot-4 to play quarterback in the NFL, and that’s opened the doors for guys like Kyler Murray.”) The Seahawks aren’t going to let Wilson go anywhere. Barring injury, he’ll sign at least one more contract extension in Seattle.
