Of the four teams in Russell Wilson’s clear position in which he would have waived the non-trade clause, the Chicago Bears were the most aggressive leading the Seattle Seahawks quarterback. There were reports that the bears would take a heavy swing and hopefully they would run home.
Well they struck.
Chicago has signed Pte Andy Dalton to a one-year, 10 10 million deal and will likely be in competition if he doesn’t choose to be a starter. It was probably people who got stuck in the idea that the bear would not land on Wilson, and now ESPN’s Adam Schafter says the Seahawks are not in Rush’s business.
Chicago “chased very aggressively” Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, according to sources, and the Bears were told that Seattle was not doing their business at the moment.
The Bears were Wilson’s agents on one of the four teams named as Interesting Place. Now Chicago has a contract with Andy Dalton.

I know it’s “at the moment” but I believe this means that if Seattle ever trades Wilson it won’t be this season.
This effectively closes the door on any Wilson trade speculation you assume. The Dallas Cowboys re-signed the Dak Prescott, the New Reliance Saints gave Tessem Hill a full void $ 140 million contract extension and re-signed James Winston and the Las Vegas Riders. We cut their offensive line as we speak.
Maybe now we can focus on our own se fisson no and how the Seahawks can improve the team that Wilson already has, resisting the fear that he could go to another team and make them better.
