The Seahawks gotta sign him, league minimum, just for the novelty of having Denver pay his guaranteed salary while he's on our roster. How cool would it look to get the player's in the trade, all those draft picks, and have Denver pay Wilson too.
I don’t want to shoot this down because a part of me feels like Wilson could be solid in parts of Grubb’s offensive strategy. And just thinking if the Seahawks drafted Penix, he would be learning and mentored by two above average if not better deep ball passers in the NFL.
Financially, Wilson would probably be cheaper than Lock if he comes at the vet min. Operationally, he wouldn’t figure into the comp process. Football strategy wise, he is already familiar with Metcalf and Lockett and Dissly, and the fact that the Seahawks have no tremendous pass-catching TEs for now doesn’t take away from Wilson’s game. Don’t know if he has a better Oline, probably not, but at least the RB stable and WR group is deeper than what he had at the end.
I definitely would like this hypothetical more if realistically teams would platoon their QBs a lot more. As I could see Geno being more of the point guard. clock control, rhythm and consistency, slow paced type. Take him out more of those guaranteed high pressure passing situations, keep his head and body in the game, healthy as possible, where he doesn’t need to force things and just go with the flow.
Where as Wilson I can see him being a shooting guard type. Take him out of game in the things he doesn’t want to do or can’t do well like running a complete offense to all areas of the field, all distances with time draining pace and put him more opportunities with fresher legs, fresher arm to do what he does best, score points fast and play Heroball.
You could get the best of both QBs, keep Geno from playing Heroball where he makes his most mistakes, keep Geno focused and poised with less opportunities to develop the yips and get out of rhythm. Allow Russ to play exactly into his skill set without all the drama of hoping he could be better at all the other things. I think a Geno/Wilson fusion at their best could get you something close to 5,000 Total Yards, 45 Total TDs vs 5-10 Ints, 5-10 Fumbles. Ironically, MVP conversation kind of numbers. But things physically don’t tend to coexist so seamlessly or as easily as they do on paper with so many moving parts and game plan scenarios.
So, it’s not going to happen, I can’t see Schneider (wanting to) nor Wilson (wanting to) get back together without Pete in between them but it’s still the part of the off-season where fantasy overrules reality that it’s fun to think about the hypotheticals.
