I don’t see that. Rodgers has 4 or 5 years left most likely . Anyone who traded Wilson from Seattle would be strung up barring an absolute collapse in his standard of play. He is the face of the franchise .
It would not shock me to see Wilson drive a hard bargain should he be allowed to have his contract expire. A lot more teams than one would be interested.

He's been forced to be much more the last few years, but that's not his fault, he's just trying do do everything he can to win.

Washington does not have an income tax, but Wisconsin does. My assumption is that Washington would be a far better place for JS type money (or any other money as far as that goes).
we know Pete was not as high on Wilson as John was, I think he liked him of course but may not be enamored with some of his limitations as we have seen, mostly the disruptive aspects of his pocket scrambling

WA is one of just 7 states that doesn't have an income tax. TX and FL are the only other states with NFL teams not to have an income tax.
I can recall a bit of a sticky situation in Oregon years back when Portland was bidding to host what is now the Washington Nationals. Not only would players on Portland's team be subject to the state income tax, but every visiting player and coach would be, too. They probably would have had to come up with some sort of exception, but the way it is now, even if you live in WA and work for a WA employer, you have to pay OR income tax on any time spent working in OR.

If John asks for release to go to Green Bay, Pete will miss him and let him go. I don't see Pete as the type of guy to stop a guy he likes and has done great work with him from taking his dream job. If John wants to go and he gets the job, Seattle will release him clean or for token compensation like a 7th round pick or something.

It doesn't make him look like a guy not interested when the timing isn't just right.

The division is brutal all of a sudden . Seattle is slammed on the cap with tens of millions tied up in aging injured defensive players .
They haven’t hit on a dominant o line in spite of spending more draft picks on the position than any other team last 5 years. They brought on 2 high priced free agents and still had a leaky bad line .
The TE they traded an all pro center for us likely leaving without any compensation.The coach stubbornly refuses to address the anemic first half offense the only real way he can at this point which is clean house with the OC. Cable should go too.
I want to think I’m wrong but this team is a couple of excellent players from being the 2008 Seahawks who went 4-12 the year after playing in the divisional . They didn’t have Wilson , Wags or Earl which would be the difference but barring a stellar offseason I don’t see them back where they were a couple of seasons ago.
GB is the easier job imo.
