A possible Wilson trade has been in the offing for several seasons now. Before the 2021 season, Wilson was reportedly unhappy in Seattle, specifically with head coach Pete Carroll, though he repeatedly shook off those reports. But after a disappointing season — and even during that disappointing season — the speculation persisted.
Wilson’s reported unhappiness in Seattle wasn’t the only reason the Seahawks traded him. Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reported that Wilson wanted big bucks in the future, and that wasn’t in the Seahawks’ plans.

#3 / Quarterback
SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks have traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, according to multiple reports.
Did Russell Wilson’s price just get too steep to keep? No. He wanted to leave. That’s what a league source told The News Tribune Tuesday, after the Seahawks altered their franchise’s path by agreeing to trade Wilson to the Denver Broncos for multiple first-round draft choices and additional players and picks.
Is leaving the seahawks:
Today started with a resolution on the future of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Not only is he staying with that franchise — after months of speculation about whether he was frustrated enough to retire or demand a trade.
But he is doing so on a four-year extension worth $200 million with a whopping $153 million in guarantees. Rodgers is now the highest-paid player in football. And that didn’t even make him the biggest story of the day.
That honor goes to Russell Wilson, who is the Denver Broncos’ new quarterback after that franchise agreed to acquire him in a trade with Seattle. There had been a lot of talk about how Denver was a likely landing spot for Rodgers if the QB had requested a trade.
