Often times in the sports world, insiders are constantly hearing rumblings and rumors from their network of sources and they’re tasked with vetting out what is legit and what’s not. With there being so many whispers while reporting, journalists will usually never make all the rumors they hear public.
During an interview with The 33rd Team’s Joey Mulinaro, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport was asked what the “juiciest rumor you’ve heard at the combine” was. Rapoport proceeded to tell a story about what he was hearing when Russell Wilson’s future was up in the air back in 2022.
“I’ll give you one from last year just so I don’t ruin anything from this year,” he said. “There were times last year when I was pretty convinced, at the combine, that the Eagles or the Commanders were gonna trade for Russell Wilson.”
