Three things:
1. John is doing his job as GM
2. Hawks are done with protecting and appeasing Russ' fear of competition.
3. We may actually need a QB latest by next year if not sooner.
#2 is a biggie, Pete's biggest failure in the past 8 years was kowtowing to Russell's fragile ego. One couldn't preach and subject every player to "Just Compete", while shielded Russ not only from any completion, but even criticisms. I don't think Pete initated that preferential treatment, he was talked, cried, or forced into it.

Russell Wilson is my all time favorite Seahawk of all times, nobody even runs a close 2nd, but having said that, when Pete cans Cable, Bevell, & now Schottenheimer, he's not making those moves to please anyone but Wilson.
I think Wilson believes that he should be Pete's side-kick, and should have equal authority in running the Offense.
Gimme my way, or I'm taking the ball home with me Russ should NEVER have agreed to a second Contract, KNOWING full well that Pete isn't just going to hand over the keys to the Seahawks franchise to him, nor should he.
If the damned train jumps the tracks, it's on the engineer.
Pete delivered a Lombardi to Paul Allen & the Seattle faithful when no one else seemed to be able to git-r-dun. :229031_shrug:
