Ever since he took over as a starter almost a decade ago, itâs been clear that Russell Wilson is one of the most talented and impactful quarterbacks to ever live. Heâs already a Super Bowl champion and one of the most disruptive dual-threat players in the NFL. Thatâs why the Seattle Seahawks never hesitated to get a deal done and sign him to one of the largest contracts in the history of professional sports. You could say that it would most likely keep Russ in Seattle until his retirement but that may no longer be the case.
Recently, there have been a couple of rumors regarding the possibility of Seattle trading away Russell to start a long-overdue rebuild. However, now it seems like the pressure to part ways could come from the quarterbackâs camp and not from the team.
Apparently, Wilsonâs environment is angry and frustrated due to the Seattle Seahawksâ inability to keep him safe, as heâs been sacked more times than any other quarterback in the world since he entered the NFL.
Russell Wilsonâs CampIs Frustrated With The Seahawksâ Poor Protection
âIâm hearing Russell Wilsonâs camp has grown increasingly frustrated by the Seahawks inability to protect the 8 time Pro Bowler. He has been sacked 394 times in 9 seasons. This situation warrants serious monitoring,â Jason La Canfora reported.
Moreover, Dan Daly of Pro Football Daly added that Wilson has been sacked more times in 9 seasons than every other single quarterback since the AFL/NFL merger, which clearly explains his campâs frustration.
Wilson has made a name for himself for turning broken plays into touchdowns, scrambling, improvising, and making defenders miss. Then again, heâs already 32 years old and his usual struggles in the second halves of the seasons could be tied to the beatdown he has to endure every single game out there.
