Russell Wilson reignited the speculation surrounding him with his latest comments on his future in Seattle. The Seahawks quarterback didn't announce any plans for an abrupt exit from the squad, but his statement did little the quell the rumors of an eventual departure.

Wilson spoke out during the Seahawks' Thursday press conference.

Via Pro Football Talk:

“I know for me personally, I hope it’s not my last game. But at the same time, I know it won’t be my last game in the NFL. I’m just focused on today and getting better today. That’s my goal. I love this city and I love this moment. I love these guys and we gotta make sure we get better today. That’s all that matters,” Wilson said.

With Russell Wilson wavering like never before, things are looking just as shaky for his longtime Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. According to PFT's Mike Florio, Carroll still has not been directly asked about his job security.

But one question supposedly touched on the issue, inquiring on whether the veteran coach was aware of who was advising team owner Jody Allen.

“I don’t know that,” Carroll said as to Allen, who inherited the Seahawks and the remainder of her brother Paul Allen’s holdings after he died. “I’m sure she has all the resources she needs. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to answer that question.”

Carroll was further asked about the Seahawks missing the playoffs, pointing to the obvious Russell Wilson injury and how it was more than just the time the QB missed that was affected.

“I think the whole thing was a big factor,” Carroll said. “I’m not going to slice it up for you because, I don’t know, but it just factored in. He missed a month of the season and then tried to come back and play. It’s different if you are a guard or a tackle or something like that, for the guy spinning the football, it makes a difference.”

Just as Florio posits, Russell Wilson seemed to have a wandering eye after a 12-4 season in which they made the playoffs. Wilson is probably the last person that playing the injury card will work for to blame the lost season – he actually lived it. There's little reason to believe this debacle of a season, the first losing campaign of his career, would do anything but advance any thoughts of leaving for greener pastures.

If the Seahawks have any intention of keeping Russell Wilson, changes have to be made to prove that the franchise means business.

They already tried to to swing for the fences with a big trade, shipping away not one but two first-round picks for safety Jamal Adams. That didn't exactly pay off. Instead of doubling down on another big trade for even more assets, moving on from Pete Carroll feels like the next logical move to convince Russell Wilson to stay.

Whether or not the Seahawks actually pull the trigger – or if it would even be enough to convince him at all – remains to be seen.
