Bears players recruiting Russell Wilson amid trade rumors
The Russell Wilson saga with the Seattle Seahawks continues to get more interesting by the day.
Wilson would like to remain in Seattle but, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter , has four preferred trade destinations in the event he becomes expendable -- the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders.
The Bears are in the market for a quarterback after a disappointing season with Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles. Chicago's players know they could use a new QB, too, and began recruiting Wilson on Thursday.
It's a nice try, though Wilson hasn't demanded a trade from the Seahawks, according to his agent, so it seems like a move this offseason is unlikely.
If Wilson isn't made available this offseason, though, NFL executives believe he'll be available in discussions after the 2021 campaign due to rising tensions with the Seahawks.
