Russell Wilson is no longer a member of the Seattle Seahawks after spending a full decade with the team. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday afternoon, and it is very much a trade that still has people reeling. It is hard to imagine a player of Wilson's caliber being traded like that, however, Wilson and the Seahawks were in the midst of a divorce, and a trade seemed like the best option for all parties.
In the aftermath of the trade, fans have been wondering what Wilson would say. Some players will offer a lengthy Instagram post following their departure from a team, and in the end, it usually gets fans emotional.
