From 2010 to 2020, 10 quarterbacks have been sacked 300 or more times.

Five of them — Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers and Matthew Stafford — have reached the 350 mark. And though Wilson has played in the fewest games of that quintuplet, which makes sense given that he was a rookie in 2012, he tops the leaderboard by a pretty significant margin (via Stathead).

394 times in eight seasons. Add 49 from all of his postseason play — including five sacks in their one 2020 playoff contest — and you're well above 400. He's been in the top six in times sacked every single year of his career other than his first, and has been in the top three in each of the last three seasons. He's already in the top 20 of all time.

And according to RADIO.COM Sports NFL insider and host of "Inside Access" on 105.7 The Fan Jason La Canfora, it's getting to the star quarterback and his camp.

The Seahawks didn't seem to be one of the many teams, including division rivals San Francisco and Los Angeles, that have undergone or may be undergoing a quarterback change prior to the start of the 2021 season. However, as La Canfora notes, this is a developing situation that we should keep our eyes and ears open for.

Wilson has three years remaining on his current deal, with cap hits of $32 million in 2021, $37 million in 2022 and $39 million in 2023.
