In fairness...I dont think he was the driving force behind trading for Wilson.
The previous owners dont just OK a historic level trade while in the process of selling the team....the new owners would be on the dole for Moob's new contract.
I would guess this was part of the deal...and a prerequisite for a record selling price. "The team needs a franchise QB"...
Seattle took them to the cleaners...and the previous owners gave zero shits as long as it finalized the sale. Walton gave zero shits as his new toy comes with a name brand, marketable QB...
NFL is/was trying trying hard to manufacture the Donks into something they're not...a winner....hence 3 of their first 5 games have been on national broadcast including opening weekend.
