Bob Condotta: Where does Russell Wilson rank in Seattle sports history?
Both of Wilson's negotiations for contract extensions with the Seahawks in the summer of 2015 and the spring of 2019 were far more contentious than many realized.
That 2019 contract came a few months after Wilson's camp bristled at reports that general manager John Schneider had been scouting Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, a year after it was reported the Seahawks would have drafted Patrick Mahomes if he had fallen to them in the 2017 draft.
The relationship seemed to increasingly wither from there, with Wilson making surprising remarks a year ago about his frustration with his pass protection and a report that said he would approve a trade to one of four teams.
{The end} arrived shockingly and suddenly Tuesday, and the emotions evoked for all might take a while to cool.
But as the returns of the likes of Wilkens, Griffey and Ichiro proved, time heals all wounds. One day Wilson and the Seahawks surely will gather for his uniform No. 3 to take its rightful place in the rafters of Lumen Field.
