Wilson: My plan is to win more Super Bowls with Seahawks

Russell Wilson affirmed his desire to remain with the Seattle Seahawks amid speculation about his future ahead of the offseason.

"My goal is to win more Super Bowls," Wilson said Thursday. "And my plan is to win them here. It's that simple."

Wilson was responding to a question regarding his comments last week when he said he hoped the Week 17 home finale wouldn't be his final game in Seattle. The veteran quarterback - who's under contract through 2023 - has a no-trade clause and would control any possible departure from the Seahawks.

"When it comes to the no-trade clause in sports, the main reason is so teams can't trade somebody to anywhere," Wilson said, per NFL reporter Dov Kleiman. "That's the No. 1 reason, right? Cause in sports, you could wake up the next morning (and) you're gone."

A potential trade involving the 33-year-old has been rumored since he expressed dissatisfaction last offseason with the number of hits he takes. It has also been reported that Wilson and head coach Pete Carroll won't remain together in 2022, but Carroll doesn't agree.

"The kind of conversations (Wilson and I) have behind the scenes are not in line with the rumors. Not at all," Carroll said earlier this week.

Wilson has thrown 22 touchdowns to five interceptions in 13 games this season. The Seahawks enter their Week 18 meeting against the Arizona Cardinals with a 6-10 record and will miss the postseason for the first time since 2017.
