Philadelphia Eagles Tried Trading For QB Russell Wilson Last Offseason

You could say some of the best trades are the ones that never happened.

The Russell Wilson sweepstakes was he talk of the offseason a year ago when it was evident the Seahawks star QB wanted out of Seattle, and the Eagles apparently wanted in.

Per NFL reporter Dov Kleiman, Philly attempted a trade for Wilson, but Russ refused to waive his no-trade clause in a move that would send him to Philly. The same happened for the Washington Commanders as well.

No word on if Jalen Hurts was included in the trade.
