The NFL has already seen three quarterbacks switch teams since the regular season ended: Matthew Stafford went to the Los Angeles Rams, Jared Goff was shipped to the Detroit Lions and Carson Wentz was traded to the Indianapolis Colts.

Wilson, a seven-time Pro Bowler, had a career-best 68.8 completion percentage, to go along with 4,212 passing yards, 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions for the Seahawks, which finished with a 12-4 record and a first-place finish in the NFC West.
