, the depth of the tension between the two sides was exposed as they barreled towards an NFL-altering divorce. As far back as 2017, the Seahawks had been looking for alternatives to the star quarterback who had delivered the franchise its first Super Bowl.

But last season, the Seahawks front office became convinced that Wilson, 33, was losing the mobility that allowed him to keep plays alive.
