Of the four teams on Russell Wilson’s apparent list of places he would relinquish his non-trade clause, the Chicago Bears were the most aggressive in terms of the Seattle Seahawks fullback. There were reports that the Bears would swing heavy and hope they would make a home run.
Well, they struck.
Chicago has signed veteran Andy Dalton for a $ 10 million one-year deal, and he will likely compete if it is not the favorite to be an appetizer. This has probably inspired enough people on the idea that the Bears are not going to land for Wilson, and now Adam Schefter, ESPN, says the Seahawks are not trading Russ.
Chicago has a very aggressive pursuit of Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, according to sources, and the Bears have been told that Seattle is not currently trading him.
The Bears were one of four teams that named Wilson’s agent as an interesting spot. Now Chicago has a deal with Andy Dalton.

I know there is the “at the moment” but I choose to believe that the implication is that Seattle will ever trade in Wilson, but it will not be this season.
This locks the door effectively for any Wilson trading speculation you would accept. The Dallas Cowboys re-signed Dak Prescott, the New Orleans Saints gave Taysom Hill a $ 140 million void of contract, and Jameis Winston and the Las Vegas Raiders re-signed. is breaking down their offensive line as we speak.
Maybe we can now focus on our own off-season and how the Seahawks can improve a team that already has Wilson, as opposed to the fear that he could go to another team and improve them.
