In the offseason, a new rumor has surfaced about the Chicago Bears quarterback almost every week. From Deshaun Watson to Matthew Stafford to Derek Carr to Carson Wentz to Sam Darnold, it was a walk for the fans along the way.
But one defender who has been linked with the Bears for the past two weeks is Seattle Seahawks defender Russell Wilson – and he doesn’t seem to be losing steam any time soon.
Not only have the Bears been named as one of four potential landing sites, but there has been much talk about what Wilson would like to join the Bears, including the return of a historic franchise and parts they have in place. .
Now, this discussion of Wilson-to-the-Bear means nothing if the Seahawks don’t actually intend to change it. Which seems to be the case, even though they sent phone calls from the teams, which you have to believe includes Chicago.
But, according to reports, things were tense between the two sides, as Wilson said publicly that he was unhappy with his lack of protection from his Seattle offensive line, and the Seahawks were unhappy that he was speaking.
Now, something new is buzzing the internet. Seahawks sent a letter to season ticket holders, where it essentially received fans and looked to the future of the franchise.
Interestingly enough, Wilson was not mentioned in the letter.
Now, this may or may not indicate anything, it’s all a matter of how you look at it. But it certainly shocked those Seahawks fans who read a letter about their team’s future – mentioning DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett – without mentioning their franchise defender.
With reports indicating that the bears are giving priority to trading for Wilson, the conversation will not end soon. And this letter only adds fuel to the fire that is speculating on Wilson’s future in 2021 and beyond.
