Wilson says he's 'been moved around before' when discussing contract
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson made an appearance on “The Adam and Joe Show” on 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, N.C. on Monday afternoon.
Wilson, who played three years of college football at N.C. State before transferring to Wisconsin his senior season was asked by the radio hosts about his current contract situation.
“At the end of the day I trust the process,” Wilson said. “I know God’s going to take me and put me where he wants to have me. I hope that’s Seattle. I love it there, it’s a great place. But I've also gone through the ups and downs and been moved around before. I loved N.C. State and loved playing there and then having to go somewhere else and start new.
“I ultimately, I know mentally and physically and spiritually I’m prepared for whatever. Every day I’m going to go to work. I’m not the kind of person that’s going to hold out or do any of that, because I want to be the best player I can be. I want to try to improve on the field.”
For the first time, it sounds as though Wilson would be willing to play for another team if it did eventually come down to it. Wilson did make a point at the end of the interview to say his ideal preference would be to stay in Seattle.
"Hopefully works out with the Seattle Seahawks . . . it’ll all work out how it’s supposed to.”
Only time will tell what will happen with Wilson's contract situation, but the longer the negotiations go, the more the rumors and speculation will continue swirling around the organization.
