Report: Commanders offered 1st-round picks for Wilson

The Washington Commanders offered the Seattle Seahawks multiple first-round picks in an unsuccessful attempt to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Washington reportedly entered the offseason preparing to swing big on established quarterbacks. It scoured the market last year but only brought in Ryan Fitzpatrick and re-signed Taylor Heinicke in a pair of smaller moves.

Wilson has been the subject of trade speculation for more than a year. He appeared to be at odds with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll last offseason, but the two are now seemingly back on the same page.

The 33-year-old quarterback, who's spent his entire career in Seattle, has repeatedly said in recent months that he wants to continue his career in the Pacific Northwest. Carroll and the Seahawks have issued the same stance.

"We have no intention of making any move there," Carroll said at the NFL Scouting Combine when asked about a possible Wilson trade Wednesday.

While Wilson didn't have his best season in 2021, he still outperformed Washington's quarterbacks. He finished with 3,113 yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions through the air while missing three games with a finger injury.

Seattle and Washington both went 7-10 last season and missed the playoffs.
