Story is a couple days old but if true, nearly changed the NFL landscape. Two days ago, Pro Football Talk reported that in 2018, the Seattle Seahawks floated the idea of trading star QB Russell Wilson to the Cleveland Browns for the #1 overall pick.
Per PFT’s Chris Simms.
“Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Browns contend that the idea was “floated” conceptually, but that the discussion did indeed happen. At the time, the Seahawks were staring at another extension for Wilson, one that would result a year later in a contract with a new-money value of $35 million per year.
