Russ was still viewed as that guy across the league. Many teams would've given up what Denver did. In fact, the Bears offered the Seahawks more (3 1st round picks and a 3rd) for Russell Wilson in 2021.
The relationship in Seattle had run its course. I'm sure they're just as shocked as everyone else by how poorly Denver's offense has performed this year.
But it will get better.
