New on SI: Report: Russell Wilson's Camp 'Broached Potential Trade Destinations' With Seahawks

Russell Wilson's camp has reportedly broached potential trade destinations with the franchise.

Russell Wilson frustration with the Seahawks has risen to the point where his camp has broached potential trade destinations with the franchise,

according to The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar, Mike Sando and Jayson Jenks.

According to The Athletic, possible destinations include the Dolphins, Jets, Saints and Raiders.

Wilson's name has been floated in trade rumors this offseason, stemming from a reported frustration with the franchise. 

Among other conversations, The Athletic reported that Wilson spoke with head coach Pete Carroll in the days after Super Bowl LV about the team's offensive line issues. Per The Athletic, a plan "wasn’t relayed to him, at least not to Wilson’s satisfaction," and Carroll told the quarterback to "have faith."

On Feb. 8, CBS's Jason La Canfora reported that Wilson's camp was frustrated with his pass protection  and Wilson went on The Dan Patrick Show the following day and said he wanted more say in the organization.

"Not as much," Wilson responded when asked if he had been involved in personnel decisions. "I think it helps to be involved more, but I think that dialogue should happen more often."

Earlier this week, NFL Network's Mike Silver reported that teams have been calling the Seahawks to inquire about Wilson and said that a possible price for Wilson would be at least three first-round draft picks.

Wilson, 32, is under contract for at least three more seasons. Despite the quarterback's individual success—he has made seven Pro Bowls with the team—Seattle has not made the NFC title game since 2014, which was Wilson's third season in the league.

According to The Athletic, some people around the league think a trade could happen, if not this offseason then sometime in the near future.

“It’s a great story,” a coach from another team told The Athletic. “There is a lot there — money, greed, power and control.”

New on SI: NFL Kickers Have Historically Bad Week With Record-Tying 12 Missed PATs

It's been a historically bad week for NFL kickers, with 12 missed PATs through the conclusion of Sunday's evening games. View the original article to see embedded media. Kickers in many ways have a thankless job. Make a kick, and often times nobody really cares. Miss one? Well, people won't stop bringing it up. The 2021 season has already established a new high-water mark in kicking with Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's NFL record-setting 66-yard field goal to beat the Lions in Week 3. Two weeks later, though, we might have established a new low point. Prior to kickoff on Sunday Night Football  between the Bills and Chiefs, kickers had missed a whopping 12 extra points in Week 5. That ties the league's Super Bowl era record set in Week 11 during the 2016 season, the year after the NFL moved PAT's back to the 15-yard line. Rams kicker Matt Gay got the train rolling on Thursday when he missed his first PAT attempt of the game in the third quarter. That set a ...

Former Packers legend Brett Favre believes that star quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't finish his career in Green Bay. "I think he will play somewhere else," the three-time MVP said Wednesday on the Rich Eisen Show. Favre said he was "very surprised" about the Packers' decision to select Utah State QB Jordan Love No. 26 overall in the 2020 NFL draft last Thursday, noting that the team's decision not to draft "any weapons that can help immediately" sends a "disrespect message" to the team's current quarterback.
