This offseason there has been a new rumor of the Chicago Bears quarterback almost every week. From Deshaun Watson to Matthew Stafford to Derek Carr to Carson Wentz to Sam Darnold, he’s been a devil for road fans.
But one quarterback who has been continuously linked with the Bears over the past few weeks is Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, and he doesn’t look like he’s losing steam at any point.
Not only was the Bears named as one of four possible landing points, but there has been a lot of talk about what Wilson would like to join the Bears, including a return to a historic franchise and some pieces they have. instead.
Now, this talk about Wilson-to-the-Bears means nothing if the Seahawks have no intention of changing it. That seems to be the case, even though they’ve been making team phone calls, which is to be believed to include Chicago.
But, according to reports, things have been tense between the two sides, as Wilson publicly indicated that he was not satisfied with the lack of protection from his offensive line in Seattle, and that the Seahawks were not happy for him to speak.
Now, something new is boiling the internet. The Seahawks mailed a letter to season ticket holders, where they basically welcomed fans and looked to the future of the franchise.
Interestingly enough, Wilson was not mentioned in the letter.
Now, this may indicate something or it indicates absolutely nothing, it’s all a matter of how you look at it. But he has certainly surprised Seahawks fans who have read a letter about his team’s future, mentioning DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, not to mention his franchised quarterback.
With reports indicating the Bears are prioritizing Wilson’s negotiation, the conversation won’t fade soon. And that letter only adds fuel to the fire that speculates on Wilson’s future in 2021 and beyond.
