Russell Wilson-Jets Update: The connection was basically over before it started

Russell Wilson to Florham Park?

Of course, any glimpse of that wild phrase caused a commotion on Thursday.

Michael-Shawn Dugar, Mike Sando, and Jayson Jenks of The Athletic reported the Jets were one of the teams linked to a potential trade of the superstar quarterback when Wilson’s camp apparently “broached” Seattle about the idea.

The Jets? With a superstar quarterback? One that probably wouldn’t be as expensive in a trade as Deshaun Watson?

Yes, people went nuts, but the excitement shouldn’t last for long.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Wilson’s agent, Mark Rodgers, notes that Russell hasn’t demanded a trade, but if that were to come to fruition, the eight-time Pro Bowler (who possesses a no-trade clause in his contract) would approve of a move to the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, or Bears.
