After a roller coaster ride of an offseason for the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson, all appears to be better as OTAs are set to begin for the NFC West powerhouse.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Wilson is in town and ready for OTAs with the Seahawks.

This is a great sign for Seattle as cooler heads had prevailed a couple of months back between the two sides. Earlier in the offseason, Wilson had told the Seahawks a list of teams he would prefer to be traded to if a move was made. It was a list that included the Chicago Bears, and the two teams reportedly had discussions and were somewhat close to a deal being completed.
Instead, that dialogue fell apart and the Seahawks and Wilson are set to make another run in 2021 together.
The NFC West figures to be one of the toughest divisions in football this season.
Seattle brings back a ton of the pieces from the squad that made the postseason a year ago and the Seahawks are poised to do it again.
Arizona was super aggressive in the offseason adding J.J. Watt and A.J. Green after narrowly missing the playoffs in 2020.
The Rams went out and upgraded at quarterback moving on from Jared Goff while trading for Matthew Stafford.
And after winning the NFC two years ago, the 49ers were hit hard with injuries right out of the gate in 2020 but figure to be right back in the mix in 2021.
The Seahawks will once again be among the favorites to claim the NFC crown. And the overriding reason for that is because Russell Wilson will be back under center.
