The Seahawks declined an offer of multiple first-round picks from the Commanders, according to multiple reports. The trade offer backs up what both teams said earlier this week at the NFL Scouting Combine: The Seahawks will entertain phone calls on all players, but are not looking to move on from Wilson, while the Commanders plan to be aggressive in pursuing a veteran quarterback.
“I don’t think you will see many quarterbacks on the move despite all the talk,” one NFL executive told The Post.
Wilson’s trade availability has been a subject for 14 months, but Washington’s is the first reported offer. Wilson has a no-trade clause and, even if the teams agreed upon fair compensation, it is unknown if he would waive it to go to the Commanders, who could become the favorites in the NFC East with a quarterback of the nine-time Pro Bowler’s caliber.
How serious are the #Commanders in their search for a QB? Sources say they made a strong offer to the #Seahawks on Russell Wilson. It didn’t go anywhere. But a sign Washington is ready to deal. And given what they have on their roster, they may be a QB away.
