(670 The Score) The Bears are one of four teams that Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson would be willing to be dealt to in a potential trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday afternoon.
Wilson hasn’t demanded a trade yet, his agent told Schefter, but he has publicly expressed his frustration with the organization. Wilson would consider trades to the Bears, Cowboys, Saints and Raiders, Schefter reported. Wilson has a no-trade clause, so he can dictate where he'd potentially be traded.
Wilson is in a rift with Seahawks management over "power and control," the Athletic reported. Wilson has publicly expressed frustration over the team’s inability to construct an offensive line to protect him well.
Wilson, 32, is a seven-time Pro Bowler with a career 101.7 quarterback rating. He completed 68.8% of his passes for 4,212 yards 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 2020.
It didn't take long for Bears players to begin recruiting Wilson.
The Bears are in the market for a quarterback after allowing Mitchell Trubisky, the No. 2 overall pick in 2017, to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Veteran Nick Foles remains Chicago's lone quarterback under contract for 2021.
The Bears had interest in acquiring quarterback Carson Wentz from the Eagles, but he was traded to the Colts.
