"You cross your fingers a little bit," Brockers said Monday in an appearance on the NFL Network’s "Good Morning Football." "You hope whatever you hear is true, and he’s out of here, so you don’t have to chase him around twice a year. For the most part, he’s a phenomenal player, but if he chooses to leave and leave the division and make it a bit little easier for us, man, to each his own."

Brockers has been in the league as long as Wilson and he’s seen Seattle be on top of the division more times than not.
