Buccaneers Have Best Odds To Land Russell Wilson

The last two years for Bucs fans have been a bit of a blur with Tom Brady under center. The Bucs went from playoff boycotter to Super Bowl contender overnight. However, as quickly as that happened, it ended.

The 44-year-old Brady announced his retirement earlier in the offseason which has left a massive void on a team that still believes it has the collection of talent to compete for a Super Bowl. With the right quarterback, of course. Fortunately for the Bucs, there will be several veteran signal callers on the market this offseason and Tampa is currently the favorite to land one of them.

The divorce between the Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson has been materializing for some time with the latter reportedly asking out of Seattle earlier this year. Both parties have played nice the last few months but the growing belief is that it is very likely the Seahawks will ultimately trade Wilson, something the quarterback won’t be upset about.

Given his pedigree, two Super Bowl appearances with one win, Wilson will have plenty of suitors with the Buccaneers, quite possibly, offering the best situation for Wilson to win. Currently, the Bucs have the best odds (via BetOnline.ag), at 7/1, to land Wilson. Yes, technically it would be a downgrade. Any quarterback would when you are replacing Brady. However, the Bucs would certainly remain in the mix in the NFC and would likely be the best team in the NFC South.

The Saints, one of the Bucs division rivals, are tied with the steelers with the second-best odds at 4/1. Both the Saints and Steelers Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks have retired in back-to-back years and will very much be in the market for a veteran as they have no obvious choice in house.
