As for the report from ESPN's Adam Schefter that Wilson's agent gave him a list of four teams to which Wilson, who has a no-trade clause, would accept a trade, Wilson said that while he had no desire to be traded, that list was in response to teams putting out feelers about a potential trade.
"There was a whole thing saying I requested a trade, and that's just not true," Wilson said. "I didn't request a trade. I think everything kind of started from there, and then obviously tons of teams were calling, and the reality was I didn't want to go anywhere else, I wanted to play in Seattle, but if I had to go somewhere, these are the teams I would consider."
Throughout the offseason, Wilson, Carroll and just about everyone else involved stayed quiet on the topic, but Wilson said, just as Carroll did last month, that the two were in frequent contact, and that their relationship is as strong as ever.
"I had a great conversation with Coach Carroll, had a really great conversation with John (Schneider) too," Wilson said. "Coach Carroll and I spent a lot of time together one on one, and we're on the same page. We're here to do what we're what we're meant to do, and that's to win it all. I'm excited, I'm excited about who we have, the guys we have, I'm excited where we are. Coach Carroll and my relationship couldn't be any stronger. My focus is to win. Winning is everything to me."
Wilson also said things are good between him and his offensive linemen, something that became a topic of conversation after he made comments early this offseason that he was frustrated with being hit so much, a statement some took as a criticism of his offensive line.
"Not at all about the offensive line," he said. "I also mentioned that I can do better too. We're all trying to find ways to win, we're all trying to find ways to be better. Duane Brown is one of my closest friends, that guy's everything to me. I think about D-Lew (Damien Lewis) and what a player he was last year, he's going into his second year. I think about a guy like (Ethan) Pocic, who has been tremendous up front, and how smart he's been. I'm excited about Gabe Jackson, he's been amazing in the Zoom calls, he's been amazing in his approach. How tough he is—I've watched lot of film of him—just how good he has been. Then obviously (Brandon) Shell over there at right tackle. And we've got a lot of other guys who can play as well… I love my teammates."
Ultimately, Wilson plans on this odd offseason being just a footnote in his illustrious career because he knows that if the Seahawks have a great 2021 season, what happened in February and March won't matter.
"You know what heals all things?" he said to a question about all that went on in the offseason. "Winning."
And looking into the future, one he expects to include a lot of victories, Wilson sees himself playing for the Seahawks for a long, long time.
"I love this city, I love this place, I love everything about it," he said. "… For me, personally, I hope I play my whole career here. That's my mission, that's my goal."
