RESPECT FOR RUSSELL
Russell Wilson continues to prove why he is one of the truly elite players in the NFL. The NFL Top 100 list was revealed this week and Seahawks QB Russell Wilson finished at number two, just behind reigning league MVP, Lamar Jackson. The NFL Top 100 represents the 100 best players in the league as voted on by their peers. Wilson has been in the Top 100 for eight straight seasons. This is the first time Wilson has appeared in the top 10, having been voted 25th last season. This is the highest ranking ever achieved by a Seahawk.
Wilson’s 101.2 career passer rating ranks second all-time behind Aaron Rodgers, and his 100 touchdown passes over the last three seasons are an NFL high, by 15 touchdowns. Since Wilson and Bobby Wagner joined the Seahawks in 2012, Seattle has reached the playoffs seven times in eight years, been to two Super Bowls and won one. Wilson’s 86 regular season wins are tied with Tom Brady for the most by a quarterback in his first eight seasons in the Super Bowl era.
ANTONIO BROWN SUSPENDED 8 GAMES
Wide receiver Antonio Brown will be suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2020 season. Brown’s suspension could be extended by the NFL depending on what happens in his civil suit. Brown has not played since Week 2 of last season. He played one game with the New England Patriots before being cut due to rape and sexual misconduct accusations. Brown was also arrested in January after an incident with a delivery driver. Brown pleaded no contest to battery and burglary charges and received two years probation.
Could a team like the Seahawks be interested in signing Brown? If so, he would be eligible to take part in preseason activities and could rejoin the team after missing the first 8 games. Brown would need to continue his program of counseling and treatment and must cooperate with clinicians. The league also warned that Brown would be subject to even harsher penalties if he violates the personal conduct policy again.
