Russell Wilson harbors no ill will towards the Seahawks, the franchise he helped guide to their first Super Bowl win at the end of the 2013 season.
Wilson, the Denver Broncos’ new starting quarterback, is revved up to face his former team in front of his old fans when Denver travels to Seattle for “Monday Night Football”.
While Wilson has moved on, he hasn’t been shy recently about how things unfolded during the end of his decade-long run in Seattle. He recently confirmed in an ESPN story that Seattle tried to deal with him before this off-season’s blockbuster trade with the Broncos.
While attending Super Bowl LV, Wilson had reportedly received word that Seattle had other conversations about trading him in addition to their 2018 call to the Browns to gauge their interest in a possible trade.
“They tried to, a couple of times tried to see what was out there,” Wilson said Thursday, via ESPN’s Jeff Legwold. “It’s part of the business, being a professional and everything else. I believe in my talents, of who I am, I feel I’m one of the best in the world.”
While he wishes things would have worked out in Seattle, Wilson is looking forward to his new opportunity in Denver. Like Peyton Manning a decade before him, Wilson is hoping to enhance his legacy in Denver while getting back to playing at an MVP level.
