Does Seahawks’ season ticket letter give hint to Russell Wilson’s future?

This offseason there’s been a new Chicago Bears quarterback rumor almost every week. From Deshaun Watson to Matthew Stafford to Derek Carr to Carson Wentz to Sam Darnold, it’s been one heck of a ride for fans along the way.

But one quarterback that has been continuously linked to the Bears over the last couple of weeks is Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson — and it doesn’t appear to be losing steam anytime soon.

Not only were the Bears named as one of four potential landing spots, but there’s been a lot of talk about what Wilson would like about joining the Bears, including turning around a historic franchise and some pieces they have in place.

Now, this Wilson-to-the-Bears talk means nothing if the Seahawks don’t actually intend to trade him. Which appears to be the case, although they have been fielding phone calls from teams, which you have to believe includes Chicago.

But, according to reports, things have been tense between both sides, as Wilson publicly indicated he wasn’t happy with the lack of protection from his offensive line in Seattle, and the Seahawks weren’t happy with him speaking out.

Now, something new has the internet buzzing. The Seahawks mailed out a letter to season ticket holders, where it was essentially welcoming fans back and looking towards the future of the franchise.

Interesting enough, Wilson wasn’t mentioned in the letter.

Now, this could indicate something or it indicate absolutely nothing, it’s all a matter of how you look at it. But it has certainly shocked those Seahawks fans that have read a letter about the future of their team — mentioning the likes of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett — without their franchise quarterback being mentioned.

With reports indicating that the Bears are prioritizing trading for Wilson, the conversation isn’t dying down anytime soon. And this letter only adds fuel to the fire that is speculation of Wilson’s future in 2021 and beyond.
