Seahawks QB Russell Wilson’s ‘plan’ is to win Super Bowls for Seattle

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s goal is to win more Super Bowls and his plan is to do that for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson have just one more game on the books this season, and for Wilson, there is always a chance it could be his last in a Seahawks uniform.

Stories swirled last offseason with talks of a Wilson trade to another team and the chatter is already starting to ramp up this year as well – especially following such a disappointing campaign in 2021.

Wilson was asked directly on Thursday exactly why he hasn’t put any trade rumors definitively to rest yet. The quarterback, who remains under contract with Seattle for two more years, addressed the issue in terms of his no-trade clause first.

“Well I think first of all, when it comes to no–trade clauses in sports, the main reason is so that teams can’t trade somebody to anywhere, that’s the number one reason, right?” Wilson stated. “In sports, you can wake up the next day and you’re gone, somewhere else, that’s the number one reason. Going back to your main question though, you know for me, what I’m really super passionate about, obviously my goal is to win more Super Bowls and my plan is to win them here.

“It is that simple, so there is nothing else really other than that.”

For now, Wilson is just focused on the season finale in Arizona on Sunday and whether or not his future “plan” will keep him in Seattle remains to be seen.

All 3 members of Seahawks’ 2021 NFL draft class now under contract

Now that cornerback Tre Brown has signed his deal, all three members of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2021 NFL draft class are now under contract.

The Seattle Seahawks now have all three members of the 2021 NFL draft class under contract. The team’s public relations department tweeted the news on Friday afternoon.

Cornerback Tre Brown, selected the fourth round, is the latest and final player in the draft class to sign his deal. Wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge, a second-round selection, and tackle Stone Forsythe, a sixth-rounder, had both inked their contracts ahead of the Seahawks’ rookie camp last week.

“He made a couple plays out here today that did catch my eye,” coach Pete Carroll had said of Brown over the weekend. “He’s very bursty and looks like he’s going to take his shots and be an aggressive corner. That’s what he showed in college, and he showed it out here in the couple spots I saw today.”

With Brown’s signature, all three members of Seattle’s 2021 NFL draft class are under contract heading into the season.

2 members of Seahawks 2021 NFL draft class now under contract

The Seattle Seahawks have now signed two members of their 2021 NFL draft class, wide D’Wayne Eskridge and tackle Stone Forsythe.

In addition to the 13 undrafted free agents signed on Friday, the Seattle Seahawks now have two members of their three-player draft class under contract.

Wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge, who was selected in the second round, and tackle Stone Forsythe, taken in the sixth, have both officially signed with Seattle. Only cornerback Tre Brown has yet to sign his contract, but he is expected to participate in this weekend’s minicamp.

The Seahawks also signed German linebacker Aaron Donkor on Friday. Donkor was allocated to Seattle via the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program.

Donkor will join Seattle’s rookie draft and undrafted class, as well as the four players signed Thursday, for the three-day minicamp.

Seahawks finalize signing of defensive end Benson Mayowa

The Seattle Seahawks how now finalized the signing of defensive end Benson Mayowa to the roster.

The Seattle Seahawks have signed a familiar defensive end back to the roster but his name is not Jadeveon Clowney. Seattle has now officially announced Benson Mayowa is under contract, a move that was first reported last week.

Mayowa first joined the Seahawks in 2013 as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho. After one season in Seattle, he spent time with the Raiders (two stints) the Cardinals and the Cowboys.

His one-year deal is reported to be worth over $3 million fully guaranteed, with up to another million in incentives, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Mayowa joins defensive end Bruce Irvin as former Seahawks who have been re-signed to the roster from other teams, reuniting in Seattle.  Both of these moves don’t necessarily rule out a return for Clowney, however, it shows the Seahawks aren’t just going to sit idly by while he continues to test the open market.
