This was a team that shocked everyone who didn't believe in the vision of head coach Mike Macdonald and his staff. Now players are eager to be included, with some making pushes. Among them is 10-time Pro-Bowler and former Seahawks quarterbackabout his visit to Seattle and praised the city where he played for 10 seasons. Wilson could be aiming for one more season with the Seahawks.

He had two nearly disastrous seasons with Denver, a decent season in Pittsburgh in 2024, and an embarrassing 2025 season with the New York Giants. There are reports that Wilson might retire and go into broadcasting. Other reports say he might join the New York Jets, where their projected starting quarterback is former Seahawks teammate Geno Smith. The timing of Wilson’s social media post might suggest he is making the push to Seattle.
His relationship with the Seahawks was damaged when his diva-like attitude led to him being traded to the Broncos, where he would have his own office.

Wilson’s presence might be good for publicity and give a special farewell session, but he doesn’t provide much on the field. The Seahawks have three quarterbacks in Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold, a capable backup in Drew Lock, and aThe last time Wilson played, he was booed by Giants fans after giving up a lead. He was then demoted to the third-string quarterback. Wilson will be 38 years old during the 2026 NFL Season.
At this point in his career, he is more of a liability on the field, even though he wants to be the starter. He won’t get that chance with the Seahawks, and the only time he would see the field is if he were given a final series in a blowout or final game, or if Darnold and Lock/Milroe were injured.
It is appealing to have a special moment for Wilson, but it might be best to give him a one-day contract to retire as a Seahawk.
