FRISCO - If you believe, as I do, that “special quarterbacks” are too rare to be discussed frivolously, you share my skepticism about the rumors of a trade of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to ...
anywhere.
But ... 10 Takes ...
1) “Frivolous” though it may be, not even with franchise quarterback at their highest commodity level ever, the QB Carousel is spinning wildly. maybe Aaron Rodgers started it with words, and then Matthew Stafford continued it with action ... and now…
It is clear, as of Thursday, that Wilson is openly campaigning for an exit. Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “Seahawks’ QB Russell Wilson has not demanded a trade, his agent Mark Rodgers told ESPN. Wilson has told the Seahawks he wants to play in Seattle but, if a trade were considered, the only teams he would go to are the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, Bears.”
Of course, Houston has created its own pretzel-like tangle.
Texans management has made a mess of its relationship with its MVP. Pushed by incompetent and dishonest management, it is his wish to have played his last snap for the team that drafted him No. 12 overall in 2017.
This buzz from a few weeks ago gave rise to the oddsmakers beginning to take bets on where Watson could land next — if indeed he is traded. According to
SportsBetting.com, the Jets and Dolphins are the leading candidates for Watson's services, should he be dealt.
Were the Cowboys even listed? Indeed they are, at 20/1.

The last team in the NFL without a head coach in place, the Houston Texans still have plenty of options. ... for the top job and more.
Since his arrival, general manager Nick Caserio has interviewed David Culley, Tim Kelly, Jim Caldwell, Leslie Frazier, Eric Bieniemy, and Josh McCown for the opening. And while we don't know who ultimately gets the job, we do have a "wish list'' ... our "Dream Team'' on what their coaching staff could look like come the 2021 season.
Head Coach: Eric Bieniemy
Potentially the only hire that could save the relationship between quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Texans, Bieniemy is long overdue an opportunity as an NFL head coach. Having led the Kansas City Chiefs' offense to a Super Bowl victory just last season, the former San Diego Chargers running back has led one of the most well-rounded and dynamic offenses in the NFL as the Chiefs offensive coordinator.
