It is no secret that the Seattle Seahawks need a quality starting quarterback if they plan on fielding a competitive team in 2022.
Seattle Seahawks superfan Rainn Wilson seems to be more than willing to push the team to make that happen.
The actor who played Dwight Schrute in The Office wants Baker Mayfield to be traded from the Cleveland Browns to the NFL franchise he roots for.
“The Seahawks should 100 percent nab Baker Mayfield,” wrote Wilson in a quote tweet of a Yahoo Sports article about Seattle still being interested in acquiring Mayfield. “He’s already been proven EXCELLENT and with some coaching (and some amazing receivers) can reach GREATNESS! Pull the trigger, hawks!”
According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, “the interest between the Seattle Seahawks and Mayfield is mutual, according to league sources.” Wilson added that the Carolina Panthers “are not regarded as likely of a destination” for Mayfield as the Seahawks at this point, though he noted that “should the Browns budge and increase the amount of Mayfield’s salary they’re willing to take on to facilitate a trade, that could accelerate the process.”
Mayfield is set to make $18.8 million next season, but the Seahawks and Panthers want the Browns to pay a large portion of that during trade talks.
