Earlier this offseason, Russell Wilson was the center of trade talks and New Orleans Saints fans were loving it because the Saints were on Wilson’s list of teams he wanted to play for if he wasn’t with Seattle.

Now, of course, as we know, things appeared to be patched up between Wilson and the Seahawks but he spoke to the media on Thursday and said that he didn’t request a trade but was interested in those teams that were listed. Nick Shook of NFL.com provided the following quote:

“I didn’t request a trade. Everything kind of started from there. Obviously, tons of teams were calling and I think that 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 go to or consider. At the end of the day I have a no-trade clause, right?”

Wilson made sure everyone knew that he didn’t want to play anywhere else and he wants to be in Seattle. Still, the fact that he confirmed an interest in playing for the Saints is definitely something to discuss, as this team would be a heavy Super Bowl favorite with Wilson under center.
