‘If I Can’t Call You Directly, I Ain’t Calling You’: Russell Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks Teammates Once Revealed a Crucial Detail Behind Why the Current Broncos QB Is Disliked by Many

The ugly break-up between Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks is no secret to the world. While the player moved on to Denver this season, he still remains the focal point of many controversial remarks from his ex-teammates. Consequentially, his former Super Bowl-winning teammates have shared a big reason about why the player is at the receiving end of so much irk from the league.

Crucial parts of the 2014 Super Bowl-winning team, Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman, reunited on the latest episode of the ‘Richard Sherman podcast’. The popular topic of Russell Wilson came up. Talking about his current woes in the league with the Denver Broncos, Lynch showed some remorse for the quarterback. However, what surprised many was the exchange between the host and the guest, who revealed that they can not reach Russ directly.

When Lynch expressed his desire to reach out to Russ, Sherman replied by telling the running back to reach out to him, later correcting himself by adding, “his manager”.

That seemed to resonate deep with Lynch. He stopped to point out that if he can not call him directly, then he was simply not calling him. Referencing their rich history with the Seattle Seahawks, the former NFL star did look frustrated.

Russell Wilson and his ex-teammates

Richard Sherman was part of the legendary secondary defense, which was dubbed the Legion of Boom. Whereas, Marshawn Lynch is an icon himself in the running back position. The only championship all three of the players won was together for the Seahawks, led by Russell Wilson as the quarterback. While the team made it to two consecutive Super Bowls, they were only crowned champions once.

However, according to ex-teammates of the quarterback, after all their history together, they still can not get through to the player directly. Understandably, that is something which will rub any colleague the wrong way.

Recently moving to the Denver Broncos from Seattle, Wilson has come under fire for his performances. It also looks like the player is dealing with a lot of speculation about losing the locker room in Denver. However, he addressed these rumours by putting them to bed. “We don’t have division in our locker room,” said Wilson. The new addition sparked a lot of optimism in the fans. But it all has gone horribly wrong for now. Will Wilson be able to lead the team to some sort of a good place is yet to be seen?
