Russell Wilson: 6 NFL Teams Who Could Trade for Seahawks Quarterback in 2022
01/21/2022 09:25 pm EST
Pittsburgh Steelers
If Ben Roethlisberger retires, the Steelers will be in need of a quarterback. Due to their nucleus, the Steelers will always be in the hunt to reach the playoffs, but adding a player like Wilson could get them back to the Super Bowl.
Denver Broncos
There were rumors that the Broncos were going after Aaron Rodgers when he was having issues with the Green Bay Packers. With the team looking for a new head coach, it might be time to find a quarterback who can make plays consistently. Plus, the Broncos will go after a big-name quarterback (Peyton Manning) if they believe they are one piece away from reaching the Super Bowl.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are in need of a quarterback as Sam Darnold and Cam Newton are not long-term answers. Just imagine, if the Panthers bring in Wilson, NFL fans would see him take on Tom Brady twice a year since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the same division.
Miami Dolphins
If the Dolphins go after Wilson, their current quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa will likely be sent away. There are strong pieces for Wilson to work with in Miami, but the first thing the team needs to do is hire a head coach.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016 because they were inconsistent at the quarterback position. Wilson in a Sean Payton offense would be fun to watch and he reportedly has an interest in playing for the Saints.
New York Giants
The Giants need a spark as they have gone through three different head coaches in five years. Their current quarterback, Daniel Jones, has not lived up to expectations, and Wilson has reportedly expressed interest in the Giants.
What Happens Next?
The odds are Wilson stays with Seahawks for now. However, it's possible he doesn't sign a contract extension with the team especially if they have another season where they miss the playoffs. Wilson led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win in 2013 and would love to win another before his career is said and done.
