Russell Wilson was almost traded to Eagles in 2022, but QB nixed the deal before it was finalized, per report

Jalen Hurts had a highly successful season with the Philadelphia Eagles last year, but apparently, that almost didn't happen, because he almost wasn't their starting quarterback. At one point during the 2022 offseason, the Eagles were actually looking to replace Hurts with Russell Wilson.

There's been a lot of speculation about whether the Eagles actually tried to make a deal for Wilson last year and it's looking more and more like they did. Although the trade attempt came more than a year ago, the subject is popping back up now because it was a topic of discussion on the "Brock and Salk Show" in Seattle this week. During an episode of the show, Sports Illustrated's Greg Bishop mentioned that the Eagles had been very interested in acquiring Wilson.

"The Eagles really wanted him," Bishop said. "I think they liked his style of play."
