Russell Wilson’s 10-year run in Seattle finally came to an end this offseason with his blockbuster trade to the Broncos. But the star quarterback revealed on Thursday that a parting of ways with the Seahawks nearly happened four years earlier.
Wilson said that the team tried to trade him away back in 2018 to the Browns for the No. 1 overall pick, but Cleveland wasn’t interested. Wilson didn’t let on that he had any hard feelings over the matter, chalking it up to business as usual in the NFL.
“Definitely they tried to, a couple of times, tried to see what was out there,’’ Wilson said, per ESPN’s Jeff Legwold.
