Russell Wilson earlier today on the Today show when asked about playing for the Commanders:
“Seattle is the place that I'm at right now, and I love it. It’s great man.”

Why do you feel that “The Media” (as a generality) continue to say he will be traded when he has made comments to the opposite repeatedly this offseason? I feel like many want him to be elsewhere except for Russ and The Hawks.
@CorbinSmithNFL
He’s always gotta throw in “right now” to keep the speculation going. He is elite at dodging questions without sounding like he’s dodging them.

about coming to Washington: “I’m from Richmond, I know what you mean, I got people hitting me up every day, all my friends and all that from the East Coast but Seattle’s the place I’m at right now and I love it.” Video from

fwiw, i think he adds the “right now” because he’s always thinking long term and he’s only contracted until 2023. if SEA felt he wasn’t their guy post 2023, he may not be there beyond 2022. so i can see why he’s saying the things he is, but i truly think he wants to be in seattle
@CorbinSmithNFL
I blame russell for all these fake trade rumors. He can never full deny a question to play elsewhere and can never fully admit that he is staying in seattle for the upcoming season
