Russell Wilson got heavily booed by fans and ended up being benched for rookie player, Jaxson Dart, in Week 4. Ever since then, there have been strong rumors of Russell Wilson being traded and now NFL insider ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has weighed in on it.
NFL insider weighs in on Russell Wilson’s trade situation before the NFL trade deadline
A few days ago, NFL insider ESPN Jeremy Fowler commented on Russell Wilson’s situation and shed some light on what might actually happen before the November 4 NFL trade deadline.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said, "Trading Wilson would be a challenge because of the scarcity of available starting QB jobs…”
The popular NFL insider added, "At this stage of Wilson's career, compensation would not be steep. His days as a productive starter appear to be over…”
Neither the New York Giants nor Russell Wilson has commented on the speculations yet.
While there have been strong speculations of the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Jets being interested in Russell Wilson, the Bengals opted for Joe Flacco, as the Jets continue to struggle for a win in the new season.

Amid all the mess, it seems things might be getting worse for Russell Wilson. The 36 year old NFL veteran, once considered to be one of the most talented players in the league, has now been booed twice by fans.
Back in Week 3, as the New York Giants faced a brutal loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, Russell Wilson was booed by fans as many screamed for him to be replaced by Jaxson Dart.
In Week 4, Jaxson Dart replaced Russell Wilson but it seems the booing did not stop for the NFL veteran.
In Week 6, as the New York Giants faced the Philadelphia Eagles and Russell Wilson went in for two snaps, he was again booed by fans.
However, it seems Russell Wilson has not let the negativity affect him as he continues to be there for his team.
