SEATTLE — Shortly after the NFL opened its new league year Wednesday, the Seahawks and Broncos made the Russell Wilson trade official.
But what the Seahawks and Wilson disagreed on was the why.
As Wilson was introduced to media in Denver with a news conference beginning 3 minutes after the trade could be made official — three being his jersey number — the Seahawks released a statement from team chair Jody Allen, coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.
