Russell Wilson Trade: Cowboys Almost NFC East Rival?

Had it ended up differently? A Russell Wilson trade would’ve meant some shaking up for the Cowboys in the NFC East.

FRISCO – The Philadelphia Eagles surely have no regrets. The Washington Commanders? Maybe they’d like a do-over.

The Dallas Cowboys? As it worked out, they don’t have to – or get to – oppose QB Russell Wilson twice a year.

In a recent appearance on Joey Mulinaro’s podcast, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said that during the 2022 NFL Combine, there were points where he believed either the Eagles or Commanders would trade for Wilson.

Said Rapoport: “That was one where you kinda stop everything and you’re like, ‘Hang on.'”

The Eagles, of course, ended up significantly better off just moving forward with Jalen Hurts. He finished second in NFL MVP voting in 2022, leading Philly to a Super Bowl appearance.

The Commanders botched everything, starting with Carson Wentz as the “savior” and going downhill from there.

Wilson ended up having the worst season of his career, and the Broncos – having given up the farm to Seattle to get him – are now stuck with the five-year, $245.58 million deal that they signed him to before he ever played a game in Denver.

Rapoport said that ultimately, Wilson “was only interested in going to the Broncos and I think we know the story … That was something that shook my brain a little bit last year.”

And had it ended up differently? It would’ve meant some shaking up in the NFC East as well.
