Russell Wilson

One coach said Wilson told teammates the door to his office was always open to them, but that coach wondered why a player had an office with a door at all.

“If you came up to the second floor as a player, it honestly wasn’t a good thing because you were probably getting released.” So this was certainly not a unanimous concern within the Broncos’ facility. According to TheAthletic.com’s lengthy article about Wilson’s first season in Denver, members of the coaching staff believed that Wilson separating himself from teammates like that was bad for locker room camaraderie.

It’s certainly one Rich Eisen could not stop thinking about, as the talk show host gave his opinions on the latest word about Wilson. It isn’t just the fact Wilson has an office, it’s more so the fact it represents one of the biggest criticisms around him: his challenges of connecting with teammates in an authentic way. The entire report in The Athletic is hardly flattering to Wilson, as it describes the unusual nature of his personal coach being involved in he facility,

For a player who was beloved unlike perhaps any other in Seattle sports, it's been tough to see his fall from grace in such a diastatic manner.

The Athletic reports Russell Wilson wanted the Seahawks to fire Pete Carroll and John Schneider. Wyman & Bob describe why that's "just lame."

If you were trying to go behind the scenes and get your GM and your head coach fired, that’s just lame, man.” That is just such a weasel move to go cry to daddy, go cry to mommy and maybe act one way to somebody’s face and then behind the scenes you’re trying to sabotage them. And I think that the reason why you think about that is because he wanted to throw more. Stelton said the report appeared to show Wilson is “tone-deaf,” as the story detailed how he had an office during the 2022 season on the second floor of the Broncos’ facility, and typically players don’t go to the second floor because that’s where coaches and management are. … It just sounded completely tone-deaf and obviously it was not received the way I’m guessing he meant it to.” “That’s just a tone-deaf lack of self awareness kind of statement,” Stelton said, “because I could totally see him thinking, ‘Hey, man, I’m saying the right thing here. I think you should put every single thing that you have into just being a football player (right now),” he said. He wanted to throw the ball more and Pete didn’t want that.” While none of what Wilson reportedly asked for happened, Wilson was instead sent to the Broncos in exchange for three players and five draft picks, including what wound up becoming the No. With Wilson, the idea of that reunion is now more complicated, Wyman said.

Now there’s this Athletic report — which comes a month and a half after Wilson producing the worst season of his career. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — Wilson made the world a better place. He’d try to come off like just one of the guys, but then have his own staff and office in the Broncos’ building. One of the reasons fans are so warm to a player such as Marshawn Lynch is because they feel they are seeing authenticity epitomized. That wasn’t love for a quarterback that shined in Seattle for 10 years and led the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl title. Richard Sherman blamed Carroll for costing them the Super Bowl after a sideline explosion in 2016, but Pete never once chided him in public.

After months of rumors that included a report that the Seahawks and Bears had substantial talks involving a trade, Wilson stayed put in 2021. “While Russell made it clear he wanted this change, he made Seattle proud and we are grateful for his decade of leadership on and off the field,” Allen’s statement read. The Athletic further stated that Wilson made the request in February 2021 following a season in which the Seahawks went 7-10 for their first losing record in Wilson’s 10 years as quarterback. Gifts processed in this system are not tax deductible, but are predominately used to help meet the local financial requirements needed to receive national matching-grant funds. Wilson has often mentioned Saints quarterback Drew Brees – who thrived under Payton – as a role model during his early days as a quarterback. I’ll always have respect for them and love for Seattle.”
