I'd consider trading him after this year if we could get what he suggests in the article, even if we don't get a Qb in return. 3 firsts with any team would give us enough to move up to get Cardale Jones.
I know the article says this scenario is extremely unlikely at the outset, but I think even that is an overstatement.
Agreeing to that type of trade if the exclusive is applied doesn't make sense for Wilson or the trade partner (they wouldn't do it without a long-term deal in place, and why would Wilson sign a long-term deal to get it done if the whole point of this is that he wants to test the market before signing a long-term deal).
For something like this to happen it would have to make sense for all three parties (the sending team, receiving team, and Wilson), and it only makes sense for the sending team (the Seahawks), if it even makes sense for them at all.
What the Seahawks could get for Wilson in "trade" next year starts and ends with two first round picks, and that's not even a trade. He signs, he plays on the franchise, he's let go for two 1sts, or he's allowed to walk. Those are the only four options (in descending order of likelihood IMO. with the last one not even really counting; so really, three options).
