2022 NFL Preview: Seahawks move on from Russell Wilson without clear QB replacement

The Seattle Seahawks had to have a backup plan.

You don't just trade a future Hall of Fame quarterback like Russell Wilson and not have the next step mapped out. You don't ship Wilson, in his prime, and go into the season with Drew Lock as his replacement.

The Seahawks disagree.

For many years the Seahawks have been proudly unconventional. They wanted to establish the run when they had Wilson, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the passing game. They'd make draft picks that would stun the league.
