Seahawks Legend Russell Wilson Wins Major Defamation Suit — Seattle Protects the Man Who Gave Everything to the City
Seattle, WA — From the moment he arrived in 2012, Russell Wilson transformed the Seahawks — leading them to back-to-back Super Bowls, delivering Seattle’s first Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLVIII and stacking nine Pro Bowls with over

So when public figures spread false claims about his charitable intentions, Wilson faced something tougher than a blitz: a threat to his character and the trust families placed in his mission. He chose to fight back not for himself — but for the kids he never stopped showing up for.
Legal filings proved the allegations had no factual basis and were intentionally damaging to Wilson’s reputation. The court ruled overwhelmingly in his favor, ordering retractions and financial penalties for the parties responsible.
The Seattle Seahawks stood behind him throughout the entire process — reviewing documents, offering legal assistance and reaffirming what the city already knew:
Russell Wilson has always done right by Seattle.
Wilson will not keep a dollar from the case. All damages awarded will go directly to programs supporting sick children at Seattle Children’s Hospital and underserved youth throughout the Pacific Northwest.
With a Super Bowl ring, franchise records and countless hearts touched in Seattle, Wilson’s biggest victory may now be restoring the truth. The fans who once chanted “M-V-P!” inside Lumen Field celebrate more than a courtroom win — they celebrate a legacy protected.
Russell Wilson remains more than a quarterback to this city. He remains its leader in service, its champion of children and its eternal “Why Not You” believer.
Eagles Linked to Pro Bowl CB on Trade Block With NFL’s Richest Draft Capital
Philadelphia, PA – September 29, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles are once again connected to a potential blockbuster move. Reports suggest the team could pursue a Pro Bowl cornerback on the trade block, armed with the NFL’s deepest draft capital to strike a deal.
Philadelphia entered 2025 with a retooled secondary, but injuries and inconsistency have thinned the unit. With Adoree’ Jackson sidelined and Jakorian Bennett on injured reserve, young corners like Kelee Ringo have been forced into expanded roles.
The player drawing attention is Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen. The 6-foot-4 defender with 4.26 speed has Pro Bowl pedigree and elite ball skills. With diminished playing time in a contract year, he’s considered a trade candidate.
Ian Rapoport reported teams are monitoring Woolen closely after Devon Witherspoon’s return pushed him down the depth chart. Philadelphia, searching for experience and size at corner, makes logical sense as a potential suitor before the deadline.
Pairing Woolen with rookie Quinyon Mitchell could allow Vic Fangio’s defense to lean more on press-match concepts. It would also free Cooper DeJean to rotate between nickel, safety, and pressure roles without weakening the perimeter.
Financially, Woolen carries a modest 2025 cap hit of $5.4 million. For GM Howie Roseman, that fits easily, and with Philadelphia holding the most draft assets in the league, flexibility is on their side.
A deal might only require a Day 3 pick with conditional value tied to playing time or interceptions. For the Eagles, such a low-cost gamble could stabilize the secondary in their Super Bowl repeat push.
Whether Seattle actually parts ways with Woolen remains unclear. But where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and with Roseman’s aggressiveness plus unmatched draft capital, Philadelphia stands out as the team best positioned to make it happen.
