Cowherd said was from a source. He’s from Washington state and his reporting on The Wilson contract negotiations with the team was pretty much spot on. He went on to explain the conflict between Wilson and Carroll. Wilson blames the lack of a quality line and Pete’s old fashioned offensive ways. Pete blames Wilson thinking he’s too interception prone. The conflict is not reconcilable and while the Seahawks would rather trade him to an AFC team, the Bears have been really aggressive in pursuing Wilson. It was presented as sourced and not idle speculation.
There is talk in Seattle that the team may convert his base salary into bonus money to free up cap room which would make Wilson untradable because the Seahawks would get a $39 million accelarated cap hit. Wilson's contract gives the team the ability to do that without his approval.
I am sorry but no one has inside knowledge of multiple separate trades with multiple teams like that. There are way too many variables.
Sure the Seahawks may want to trade Wilson out of the NFC and relationship may be really bad, but Cowherd cannot have inside knowledge of each team in his trade scenario are planning to do.
