{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"A source told me that the Seahawks management is not happy with Russell Wilson and his camp for taking this to the media," Patrick said. "You wonder if they’re going to be able to coexist… the current situation is unsustainable. That’s what I was told."
Wilson spoke out during a videoconference on Tuesday when he complained about the lack of protection on the field.
"I love playing for the (Seahawks), I’ve loved it for years and lay it on the line every game and I’m dedicated to that," Wilson told reporters. "The reality is that I think it’s frustrating being there and watching the game and sitting there. Part of it, like any player, you never want to get hit, that's the reality of playing this position, ask any quarterback who wants to play this game. At the same time, it's part of the job."

He continued: "I've definitely been hit – I've been sacked almost 400 times. We got to get better."
Wilson was asked if his frustration was with the franchise, to which he replied: "I'm frustrated with getting hit too much."

"I want to be involved. At the end of the day, it's your legacy, your team's legacy.... It helps to be involved more. That dialogue should happen more often."
