Some Seattle Seahawks teammates reportedly felt quarterback Russell Wilson "checked out" during the 2021 NFL season.
Michael-Shawn Dugar, Jayson Jenks and Mike Sando of The Athletic reported it was one of many issues that led to Wilson's trade to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, which they described as a "divorce in which both sides contributed to the dissolution:"
"Wilson felt the team's personnel misses and devotion to [head coach Pete] Carroll's old-school offensive philosophy were holding him back and damaging his legacy. Carroll wasn't going to abandon the formula Wilson and the Seahawks had used to claim the only Super Bowl championship in franchise history. It was only a matter of time before this marriage ended."
