Russell Wilson’s relationship with the Seattle Seahawks appears to be coming to a head as a new report revealed the details behind the disassociation between the two parties over the course of the season.
Wilson has publicly expressed his frustration with the Seahawks in recent weeks and the possibility of him getting traded, even with three years left on his contract and a possible out after 2021, has never been higher than it is heading into the offseason.

The Athletic reported that Wilson met with coaches after Seattle’s losses to the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams to try and figure out how to get the ship righted. Wilson, who was on his way to an MVP award in the first half of the season, started to turn the ball over more and more. At one point between Weeks 6 and 9, Wilson had seven interceptions and was 1-3 in that stretch.
While it didn’t cost the Seahawks too much in the long run, Wilson reportedly had ideas on how to get things turned around. The Athletic reported that Coach Pete Carroll wanted to be "more careful" with the offense and Wilson wanted to "trust himself."
Before Week 10’s narrow win against the Arizona Cardinals, The Athletic reported Wilson expressed his ideas about how to turn around the offense but was ignored. He then "stormed out of the room."
The report highlights the growing fracture between Wilson, who led the Seahawks to two Super Bowl appearances and one victory, and the organization.

Wilson appeared on "The Dan Patrick Show" earlier this month and said that he hopes to have a more "involved" role going forward, confirming that Seattle has "definitely" gotten calls from other teams seeing if he’s available for trade.
"I want to be involved. At the end of the day, it's your legacy, your team's legacy. ... It helps to be involved more. That dialogue should happen more often."
He’s also told reporters he just didn’t want to be hit anymore. Seattle is reportedly unhappy with Wilson’s airing of grievances.
Wilson, a seven-time Pro Bowler, had a career-best 68.8 completion percentage, to go along with 4,212 passing yards, 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions for the Seahawks, which finished with a 12-4 record and a first-place finish in the NFC West.
The Seahawks, however, suffered a 30-20 loss to the Rams in the first round of the NFC playoffs, which put an end to their season.
