Russell Wilson has been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time now. Fans have been curious as to what would eventually become of Wilson in Seattle, especially with all of the rumblings that he was no longer happy with the team’s head coach, Pete Carroll. With that being said, it was consistently stated that Wilson was willing to work things out and continue playing for the team that drafted him.
Well, it seems like things have taken a very dramatic turn. Today, it was revealed by Adam Schefter of ESPN that Wilson will now be headed to the AFC, where he will play for a team that has been yearning for a starting quarterback.
