The Seattle Seahawks reached the 4-8 mark on the season by defeating the San Francisco 49ers. The victory kept slim playoff hopes alive, but it didn’t stop talks about Russell Wilson’s future. Now, an ESPN writer has linked the seven-time Pro Bowler to the New Orleans Saints.

Dan Graziano spoke about it in his article full of “Overreactions week 13 ″. He clarified that he does not know where Wilson will play in 2022. However, he spoke about the quarterback’s injuries and level of play in New Orleans before addressing “rumors” about Wilson’s dissatisfaction with Seattle during the offseason.

“A [Sean] Payton has to be drooling over the idea of ​​training a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback just a year after losing Drew Brees upon retirement, ”Graziano wrote in his article. “Yeah, and that’s still a decent-sized ‘yes’, the Seahawks decide to drop Wilson in a 2022 offseason that could see a lot of change, New Orleans is a completely reasonable landing site.”

Wilson’s rep had him tied to the Saints

This article by Graziano is not the first time the Saints and Wilson have been a prominent part of the same sentence. Many have made this connection in the past, including Wilson’s manager Mark Rodgers.

The agent told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on February 25 that his client had not demanded a trade from the Seattle Seahawks. However, he said Wilson would only go to one of the four teams if a trade took place. These teams were the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and Chicago Bears.

This discussion took place amid reports of tension between Wilson and the Seahawks. Nothing materialized as the quarterback finally prepared for his 10th season in the Pacific Northwest. However, discussions about Wilson’s future have continued into a season in which the team is 4-8.

Wilson has had to grapple with several questions about his future

While the Seahawks have continued to struggle with losses to Washington, the Cardinals and other opponents they have had on this schedule, Wilson has faced a multitude of questions about his future.

Some have asked what needs to happen to make him a “Seahawks for Life,” while others have asked how the losing record could affect his future with the team. Every time Wilson has answered these questions, he has shifted the conversation to focus on the “present” and potential earnings.

“It doesn’t affect my thinking at all,” Wilson said of losing games during a news conference on Monday. November 21. “All I think about is right now, what we are going to do and how we are going to do it. I love this team, I love this organization. I love being here and, like I said, I like the challenge. I’m looking forward to it, it will be a great story. “
