Russell Wilson became the first guest who appeared on the Manningcast twice. Wilson was the final guest in the inaugural episode of the Monday night football broadcast. During his second appearance with Peyton and Eli, there was something strange in the air. The fans did not catch up to it quickly, but a weird agreement was revealed later.
The Seattle Seahawks star quarterback was there to analyze the Cardinals and Rams wild-card game. By the end of the broadcast, fans noticed there wasn’t even a single question asked to Wilson about the Seahawks.

Russell has recently stated that he wants to stay in Seattle. The Seahawks also have the Pro Bowler under contract until 2023. But after some issues behind the scenes, there is a possibility that the Seahawks might consider trading Wilson. Nothing is confirmed as if right now, but it cannot be ruled out as well. There is no guarantee where the quarterback might go by the end of 2022.
Wilson wants to play in Seattle for two more decades. “We’ve always thought I would be here,” said Wilson after the final Seahawks game this season. “That’s been my goal, to win multiple Super Bowls, and my plan is to be here and do that. You take every day, and you just enjoy the moment.”

Wilson has not yet demanded a trade, but there seems to be a higher probability of him leaving this year. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Russell Wilson did not talk about the Seahawks drama on Manningcast. It would be interesting to see him throw the ball for another team.
