Russell Wilson Keeping Two-Sport Dream Alive

Apr 14, 2015 11:15 AM

Russell Wilson hasn't ruled out a return to professional baseball despite his star status in the NFL.

"You never want to kill the dream of playing two sports," Wilson said, via The Seattle Times. "I would honestly play two sports."

The Baltimore Orioles selected Wilson out of high school in 2007, but Wilson opted to go to N.C. State instead. The Colorado Rockies used a fourth round pick on Wilson three years later.

The Texas Rangers then selected Wilson in the Rule 5 Draft in December 2013.

 

Bryant Gumbel asked Wilson what's stopping him from once again pursuing a career in Major League Baseball.

"I don't know," he replied. "I may push the envelope a little bit one of these days."

Michael Bennett Denies Requesting Trade From Seahawks

Apr 9, 2015 4:05 PM

Michael Bennett denies ever asking the Seattle Seahawks for a trade.

“Man, like I said, they made rumors about Jesus, they’ll make rumors about anybody,” Bennett said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

 

Bennett had reportedly wanted to be traded to the Atlanta Falcons.

Asked specifically whether he asked for a trade (as was reported by Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram), Bennett replied: “I never asked for it. I didn’t come to them asking for a trade. I’m still trying to figure out how a guy from Dallas make up a story about me, I’m living in Seattle, I’m like how does that happen? I’m in Hawaii surfing, got the kids surfing in the ocean and they are talking about something else.”
