Can’t trade Russ, He’s got a no trade clause in his new contract.
You can he just needs to wave the trade, find the right team and he just might.
What team would really consider him on his current contract? Who is in such need for a star QB and is willing/able to spend $35mm a year? It's very difficult to build a team around that money and bringing in Wilson isn't going to plug right into another team. It's got to be a team that is completely restructuring their offense and willing to bet a big portion on him. It doesn't make sense.
It really doesn't make sense for the Seahawks to pay him that much, but at least they have spent the nearly a decade trying to build a team around him. He's part of a long term strategy, that's a HUGE gamble for a new team.
On the open market, I'd bet he'd barely pull half of what he's getting in Seattle, and anyone who'd sign him would probably want a 5-year deal.
The deal he's got is unbeatable for him. There is no way he's going anywhere else, he guaranteed that with his cash guarantee.
