Russell Wilson has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. However, his ambition is to win more Super Bowls soon enough.

“He’s the most professional, high-level guy maybe I’ve ever been a part of regardless of position. But his legacy matters to him, and I don’t blame him.

Olsen added that while he understands the concerns of Wilson, he believes that the Seattle Seahawks have the right to run the franchise the way they do.

He noted that Pete Carroll is one of the best coaches that he played under, and he knows what it takes to lead the franchise back to success.

“He’s one of the most impressive people running an organization I’ve ever been around. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything, disagree… He runs a football team incredibly efficient, attention to detail, situations, coaching.

“His team meeting is 35 minutes and you sit there the entire time on the edge of your seat because it’s not just wasted fluff. So I get it.
