Seahawks' Russell Wilson hopes future is in Seattle

Russell Wilson should be receiving a lucrative contract extension from the Seattle Seahawks at some point, but if the worst happens, he's willing to play somewhere else.

Wilson told 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday he's used to starting new.

"I've gone through the ups and downs before and been moved around before," Wilson said.

The quarterback transferred from NC State to Wisconsin for his senior year of college, so Wilson knows a thing or two about adjusting to a new situation.

"At the end of the day I trust the process," Wilson said. "I know that God's going to take me and put me where he wants to have me. I hope that's Seattle. I love it there, it's a great place. But I've also gone through the ups and downs and been moved around before. I loved NC State and loved playing there and then having to go somewhere else and start new."

There's no indication that a deal between the two sides won't get done and the Seahawks could ultimately place the franchise tag on Wilson next year if they so choose.

That said, hearing that their franchise quarterback could accept a situation where he leaves Seattle can't be very comforting to the Seahawks.
