It took the Seahawks nearly a decade to build a version of their roster that is both complementary to and sympatico with quarterback Russell Wilson. It’s a journey that brought the team one Super Bowl victory, one high-profile Super Bowl loss and a smattering of stories exploring the various ways in which Wilson and his generational, cacophonous defense could not get along, leading to a messy divorce.
