Wilson's next team?

[WestCoastChippewa]

Hmm. Wonder how he'd look in Seahawk blue and grey.

What about Action Green?...

 

[SuperSonic67]

No one has him at the top of, or arguably even on their list at all any longer, and that’s at vet minimum $’s. Apparently, everyone else is over him now too…he’s now played for Pete, Sean and Tomlin. 3 Super Bowl winning coaches who’ve said nope, not again. It. Is. Over. Oh and I’m not betting on anyone hiring him in the booth either…BORING.

Maybe players will learn that it's better to take the guaranteed money from your previous contract and sit for a year rather than expose yourself at minimum wage. Wilson could have earned more working for tv last season. That might have better rehabilitated him or made him more enticing to a GM in 2025.

Wilson and his fake ass programmed practice takes on everything as a TV personality?!?!?!

He'd still be less bad than Troy Aikman and Joe (dum)B(f)uck.

And how would he end every segment? Go TV?

Oh, I'm not saying he'd be good or that it'd be a good idea, just not as bad as Aikman and (dum)B(f)uck.

So you can hear him for a three hour broadcast speak a lot of words and say nothing, won't be critical, won't ruffle feathers, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, won't second guess the officials. Yep I can see that, Oh and will have to do a complimentary Ciara camera shot on each broadcast because she said so !

How much Ciara can we see on those camera shots?

The way she dresses, most of her.

Canadian league. Too funny.

You know that QBs up here make like 50 grand, right?!

But, I'd Tariff that shit. like 20,000% just to keep him south of the border!

 

[Rat]

If Russ gets a TV job, I can't see him doing announcer work. It'd be one of those pre-game shows.

I don't think NFL Europe is still around, or is it? XFLs of the world isn't worthy of a future HOF. Canadian league is a legit professional football, funny rules and all.

I don't think Wilson would be good as a commentator but I think he could add something as an analyst.

 

[WestCoastChippewa]

Why can't we ever get a Gronk type of personality for the Seahawks? Lynch is cool, finally coming out of his makeshift shell...
Russ isn't even Russ, fake AF, after he divorced his wife to marry Ciara. Idk wtf Russ did, stepped in pile of stank, somewhere along his career path.

 

[toffee]

Years ago, I remember reading somewhere that Jerry Rice took lessons on how to speak more professionally. Wilson should call Jerry for the name of that therapist.

 

[Maulbert]

Don't know, don't care.

As I read through this thread and chuckle at some of the comments, there's a part of me who feels sorry for Russell. He's not a bad guy. He didn't rape anybody's sister or steal grandma's purse. And he was a huge part of what was the best period of Seahawk football in franchise history and helped bring us our only Lombardi.

But there's another part of me that thinks he's getting what he deserves. He was so obsessed about maintaining his goody 2 shoes image that it compelled him to lie to his fans about his desire to leave the Seahawks. He never misses an opportunity to get his mug in front of a camera so he can repeat his corny cliches, and as a consequence, he's over exposed. There's a shelf life on popularity. People get tired of seeing Jake from State Farm, for example.

I try to maintain a neutral stance when it comes to Russell. If I am in the stands when he returns for his induction into our ROH, I won't boo as many of my fellow 12's will, but neither will I cheer wildly. Rather, I'll politely applaud like someone might do for a sympathy orchestra conductor.

As far as the OP goes, the list of teams available to him as a starting QB is growing shorter. His age is working against him. Teams willing to consider him are those that are a player away from championship caliber. That's how he got his job with the Steelers last season. That pretty much eliminates teams like the Giants and Titans.

I would never boo Russ. He deserves too much respect for what he brought to Seattle. I do think he got consumed with his own ego and marrying a high profile woman with probably high image expectations just threw more gasoline on that ego fire of his. But his history and greatness in Seattle rises above those flames in my eyes and I can forgive the way he departed in Seattle. Forever thankful.
