As a Met fan, I completely disapprove of Russ joining the original evil empire

Thank goodness it was baseball instead of football.

es, a friend texted me this morning and told me Russell Wilson had been traded and I thought, "Dang, the Seahawks are really doing a complete makeover" Sat there for 2 hours wondering what they got in exchange before I could get to the internet and find out it was baseball.

I bet they offer him number 3. I checked and no one on the roster is using it currently

I'll assume that's sarcasm.

Think he always said to his dad he'd play for the Yankees one day.

Maybe he was asked what team. We all know he isn't going to play. It's just a honorary token transaction. Both the Yankees and Russ will benefit from it. Russ gets to show up at Spring Training camp and get a lot of press from the New York media and the Yankees will have the best QB in New York since YA Tittle. ;)

Isn't Wilson's contract about up?.. seems there are two teams in NY who need a QB.

He has 2 years left on his current deal and the odds of him going anywhere are slim to none.

Maybe I just hate the Yankees but I feel like Russ needs to focus more on football and give up the rest of these distractions. Yes I know he was great last year but could he be better if he didn't have all of this other stuff going on?

Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Drew Brees in San Diego, nobody is untouchable.

Russ has no control over his baseball rights getting traded, but I’m assuming you knew that.

I'd guess probably about 95%+ of the players in the league are doing less to prepare for next season during the time he's at spring training. As a Yankees fan I find this pretty cool. As a Seahawks fan I just hope he doesn't end up getting hurt somehow.

If this were the smack shack I’d tell you what I think about your Yankees. 8)

I didn't say untouchable, I said slim to none. Out of that list you made, Smith and Brees both had young quarterbacks groomed to take their place, and Cutler retired. Unless you really think we have a qb on our roster ready to be a franchise quarterback, the odds of Wilson leaving are (as I said before) slim to none.
