Seahawks Twitter Rips Team’s Tweet on Russell Wilson Trade

Everyone handles breakups differently but the Seahawks decided to get a little cute with the reported departure of Russell Wilson and its not going over well with NFL fans.

After it was reported that Seattle sent Wilson to Denver in a massive trade, the Broncos had some fun and Tweeted a gif of the movie Cast Away featuring the main character’s best friend, Wilson, who is a volleyball. Teams are not allowed to say anything officially about the trade until March 16, hence the non-direct reference.

The Seahawks decided to join in on the Twitter fun and Tweeted their own non-direct reference to the trade—the heartbreaking moment when the main character, played by Tom Hanks, lost Wilson to the sea.
