The longtime quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks has mysteriously purged his Twitter profile photo and bio. Additionally, he has removed all mentions of his team. There are no images or any details about the one team he has played for in the NFL.

Therefore, it is possible that Wilson might have scrubbed his social media for other reasons. However, the past few off-seasons have shown us that nothing could be predicted with a hundred percent certainty.
