Pete Carroll said that the team has no plans to trade Russell Wilson, despite the speculation about his future.
The coach's comments were relayed by Michael-Shawn Dugar.
At this time of year, there are conversations about everybody. We are talking about everyone. We talk to teams about all of the players, particularly marquee players, and that is not different. It has been the same every year. It is the same as it has been. We don't want to make any more there. John always has to field those conversations. But nothing specific.
Wilson has been the subject of some rumors, such as when Boardroom's Jordan Schultz reported Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay would love to trade for him.
The quarterback told Seattle he would be fine going to the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders or Chicago Bears in a trade, and the noise has not been as loud as it was last year.
The 2021 campaign was far from smooth, even though a trade never materialized.
Wilson missed three games because of a finger injury. It was the first time in Wilson's 10 years as the starting quarterback that the team ended a season at.500 or below.
He completed 64.8% of his passes for 3,113 yards and 25 touchdown, but it was a step back from 2020 when he completed 68.8% of his passes for 4,212 yards and 40 touchdown.
A franchise legend who helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to back-to-back Super Bowls in his second and third seasons in the league, is 33 years old and a nine-time Pro Bowler.
The team can remain in win-now mode with players such as Tyler Lockett, and holding on to Wilson would indicate a willingness to go for the title instead of a rebuild.
