Russell Wilson asked Seahawks to fire Pete Carroll, GM before Broncos trade: Sources
By The Athletic Staff
Before the Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos, the quarterback requested the team fire coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider, league sources told The Athletic. Here’s what you need to know:
Wilson was convinced that Carroll and Schneider were inhibiting his quest to win additional Super Bowls and individual awards, according to league sources who spoke to The Athletic on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the details.
The quarterback had a preferred replacement in mind: Sean Payton, who had recently stepped down from the New Orleans Saints.
Wilson placed his request to fire the coach and GM in February 2022. Within days of his call, top team officials met and decided to pursue trading the nine-time Pro Bowler, per sources.

Oh, if Mania had just listened to a few of us in the offseason he wouldn't be so crabby
