With the NFL re-opening the trade window soon, the Washington Commanders are making some bold moves. We've heard Ron Rivera express the need for a veteran quarterback under center and he has backed those words up with actions. Apparently, they've set their eyes on Seattle Seahawks' superstar Russell Wilson.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Commanders inquired the Seahawks about Russell Wilson. Ultimately, the trade talks failed, but it proves Washington is serious about upgrading the quarterback position. There are plenty of rumors swirling around the league right now and it sounds like this franchise will be making a big move in the offseason.
How serious are the #Commanders in their search for a QB? Sources say they made a strong offer to the #Seahawks on Russell Wilson. It didn’t go anywhere. But a sign Washington is ready to deal. And given what they have on their roster, they may be a QB away.

The Seahawks have already mentioned they're not going to trade Russell Wilson, so it's not shocking they declined any of Washington's offers. Even so, we should see the Commanders involved in every rumor regarding veteran quarterbacks. We're still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make his decision. Meanwhile, Deshaun Watson should garner more attention once he clears up his multiple sexual assault cases.
Either way, the Commanders are looking to buy a quarterback. If they're successful, then the offense should improve drastically. Despite the negative outside noise owner Dan Snyder has created, this franchise aims to make big moves. This is an exciting time for Washington fans, as the roster is close to becoming a legitimate playoff contender.
We'll see how it all plays out, but based on this information, the Commanders are likely to make a deal happen. The quarterback play has prevented this franchise from reaching its peak potential, making an upgrade necessary. If Washington can reel in a superstar, this team should be viewed as a threat in the NFC East.
