Eagles News: Philadelphia unintentionally dodged the Russell Wilson trade

Eagles had serious interest in a Russell Wilson trade... but Wilson nixed it - TouchdownWire
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is among the best in the business right now, given the deals he’s made and the players he’s selected in the draft to build one of the NFL’s most stacked rosters. That roster made it to Super Bowl LVII and nearly beat the Chiefs. However, as is the case in all areas of life, there are those times when the things you want, and don’t get, work out the best for you. Per Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop, appearing on Seattle’s ESPN radio affiliate, the Eagles had serious interest in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson that Wilson nixed before the deal that eventually sent Wilson to the Denver Broncos for players and a flurry of draft picks.
