More than a decade has passed since Russell Wilson in Quart-Arrière Les Seahawks de Seattle at the consecutive appearances of the Super Bowl.
After a decade with the Seahawks, Wilson left Seattle after the 2021 season. He then had a two -year tumultuous passage with the Broncos de Denver and spent 2024 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson started his last chapter with the New York Giants this season, but he was relegated to the role of safeguard after only three games.
The latest setback of the Super Bowl champion and the career of 10 times The Pro Bowler professional raised questions about his short -term future of the NFL and his inheritance. The temple of renown of professional football Tony Gonzalez was one of those who expressed doubts about whether Wilson would one day wear the coveted gold jacket.

Gonzalez was part of the Prime Video coverage of the Thursday evening match between the Seahawks and the Cardinals of Arizona. At a given time of broadcast, Gonzalez shared his reflections on Wilson’s prospects to be registered in Canton.
“Honestly, I hope we did it. … If there was someone who was played in a renown temple, it was Russell Wilson. And I say that because looking at what happened. Since he left Seattle – when he was in Seattle, he was the man. He made these good games. He won a super bowl, went to two of them.”

Gonzalez then underlined Wilson’s turbulent race with other NFL teams since its release from the Seahawks.
“But as soon as he left there, he went to Denver – signed this big business – they paid him $ 39 million to leave. He goes to Pittsburgh, played a year, he’s out. Now he’s going (in New York) and three games. I don’t know if it’s better, and I don’t want to see him on a sewing line.

“I just don’t think he has favored since he left Seattle. And how will it get better? I don’t know.”
Richard Sherman, a former member of the famous Defense of the Seahawks “Boom Legion”, also weighed Wilson’s career.
“I agree. I think you have to judge his career when the” Boom Legion “was there – he had a legendary defense, a defense of all time and how much success he had – and then without this legendary defense.”

Sherman then underlined the lack of victories that Wilson managed to produce since he left Seattle.
“He was a winning football player in Seattle,” said Sherman. “And now you can go alone, and you can prove:” Hey, I’m this great quarter, I’m this guy who is going to be dominant. “And it just didn’t work that way.”
Wilson was drafted in the third round in 2012. He won the starting role as a recruit and then evolved from what many considered a game manager in one of the most athletic and independent quarters of the NFL.
The Giants abandoned their match of week 3 at the Kansas City Chiefs to stay without victory when they entered their match of week 4 with the undefeated charges of Los Angeles. Wilson performed well in a close defeat in overtime against Dallas Cowboys during week 2.
However, a dull demonstration in two of the three games this season prompted the Giants on Banc Wilson.
Despite the bench, Wilson remains confident in his ability to continue playing the game at a high level.
“I know I’m a winner,” he said on Wednesday after losing the departure post. “I know how to have the championship mentality. The winners do not choose and do not choose. The leaders do not choose and do not choose when they want to direct and when they want to help and communicate like a winner or anything. These are the things I know, and I can control. So that’s what I focus on.”
The quarter-arre recruit Jaxson Dart will obtain his first career starting Sunday at East Rutherford, New Jersey.
