Departed Seahawks QB Russell Wilson Praises Former Teammates DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at Broncos Press Conference

After dealing star quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, the Seattle Seahawks made a game-changing decision. However, the Denver-bound athlete has heaped praise over his former franchise staff and co-athletes like WR’s D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who previously worked with him during his time in Seattle.

The Broncos are excitedly anticipating the start of Russell Wilson’s reign. People are expecting the magic to happen in the approaching 2022 season since the one-time Super Bowl winner is an elite-level athlete. This move has taken aback Seattle supporters. The Denver fans, on the other hand, look ecstatic and greet the veteran with open arms.

Russell Wilson is fancy for former teammates

During the Broncos introductory news conference, new QB Russell Wilson states, “D.K. Metcalf, who I think is one of the best in the game but also one of my best friends. I think about just obviously the stuff on the field, but also the stuff behind the scenes.”

“We’re sitting in my office and just chopping him up, laughing, you know, and talking about life and everything else to Tyler Lockett. The amazing toe-tap catches and the amazing things he’s done along the journey and just how you know he’s a really a poet along the way too, so amazing things that he’s done.”

Russell Wilson commended Jimmy Graham, who meant a lot to him. He also mentioned Dwayne Brown, calling him “one of the best competitors I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with…”

What’s Next for the WRs in Seattle?

For the 2022 NFL season, the Seattle Seahawks could be on the verge of a filled to the brim overhaul. The Seahawks traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday afternoon in a bombshell trade that also included quarterback Drew Lock and tight end Noah Fant. It appears that the Seahawks can sell off pieces of their offense yet. WR Tyler Lockett, a wide receiver, could be available in a trade, as per Evan Massey.

However, things look very speculative, as the franchise may keep their star WRs Lockett and Metcalf, the self-proclaimed ‘Fastest Man in NFL.’ The only thing the franchise needs to do is get a credible quarterback to call for the plays. With Russell Wilson being traded, Tom Brady making a return, and Jimmy G on the mend, the Seahawks may go for the Draft or even hunt for some free agents in the time being.
