"I think that's a big thing that we've got to mend," he said of Seattle's pass defense. "That has got to mmoexp scam be fixed and must be in the close of the day, because my purpose is to play 10 to 15 more years" It doesn't seem like a coincidence that Wilson's remarks came two days after Super Bowl LV. He wants to do what Tom Brady is performing -- win and play well into his 40s -- but realizes that might not be sensible if the status quo persists.

He will be 33 next season and plays in a division with celebrity pass-rushers like Chandler Jones, Nick Bosa and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, whose dominance of the Seahawks continued with two sacks in the wild-card round to send Seattle to another early playoff exit.

Those thoughts may have crystalized as Wilson watched Brady get struck only double and win his seventh ring with the help of several high-profile art gamers, some of whom he helped recruit to Tampa Bay. "The gap between that game was Tom was shooting shots down the field and getting the ball to his guys and things like that," Wilson told Dan Patrick,"but he was not touched, really."

Certainly, Wilson believes that taking such a radical -- for him -- step of airing his grievances publicly will put stress on the Seahawks to improve their offensive line to whatever extent is possible as they enter the offseason low on cap distance and draft funds. His remarks included what came as a veiled ultimatum when he said, for the first time, the potential for finishing his career elsewhere.

"I'm not certain how long I'll play in Seattle," he told Patrick. "I think, hopefully, it could be forever. But things change, obviously, on the way" Adding to the intrigue of Wilson's remarks is that one blockbuster trade has occurred this offseason (Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford), and Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson could be moved as well.
