Russell Wilson stays out of the NFC

Wilson gave the Seattle Seahawks a list of four teams that he would be willing to be traded to, and those include the Raiders, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, and New Orleans Saints. If you are looking for a game of one of these things is not like the other, you would be correct, as the Raiders are the only team that plays outside of the NFC.

In fact, in choosing his four teams, he picked one team from each of the NFC divisions, the Cowboys in the East, Bears in the North, and Saints in South, while obviously leaving out the NFC West, where the Seahawks play. Las Vegas was the only destination he liked on the other side of the NFL, and it makes sense, as he would be perfect for Jon Gruden’s offense, and the Raiders have solid weapons on that side of the ball.

There is no way the Seahawks are going to trade Wilson within the NFC because it just makes no sense, as they would have to go through him if they ever were to make it back to a Super Bowl. Sending him away to the AFC is the only way they swing a deal for their franchise quarterback, and the Silver and Black are the only team standing when it comes to that conference.
