Russell Wilson is frustrated with the Seahawks. The feeling is apparently mutual. Seahawks officials are “not happy” with Wilson disclosing his grievances, sources told Dan Patrick (Twitter) link via Rob Staton of BBC Sports). 
Earlier this week, Wilson went to Patrick’s show and expressed frustration over the Seahawks’ inability to protect him. Over the course of his career, Wilson has been sacked 394 times with 40+ sacks in each season since his freshman year.
‘I was definitely hit. I have been fired almost 400 times already. We need to get better, ”Wilson said. ‘I also need to find ways to get better. Keep trying to find it. If we continue the process and I think of my career I want to be able to do, it always starts off, offensive and defensive. ”
The Seahawks gave Wilson a brand new deal less than two years ago. With an average annual value of $ 35MM per year, he is the third highest paid player in the NFL. So far, the Seahawks have rejected trade inquiries and, unlike the Texans, have included their franchise quarter in staff decisions.
It’s still hard to imagine the Seahawks separating from Wilson, but given this year’s quarterback carousel, anything is possible.
