The COs think they are one quarterback away from the argument. The Seahawks are not partners in this lawsuit.

Washington offered several first-round picks for star Russell Wilson, but the proposal went nowhere, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported to the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday. Earlier this week, Seattle coach Pete Carroll insisted the team had “no intention” of trading the perennial Pro Bowler.

Commanders have every intention of acquiring an upgrade to the most important position in the sport. The club have made calls across the league in hopes of securing a deal, Rapoport added. Coach Ron Rivera noted this week that Washington is doing its homework on the current class of free agents and potential drafts. But with a promising roster at most positions outside of first, adding a franchise QB is the preference.

“This year we’re very proactive, we’re looking, we’re looking,” Rivera said Tuesday in Indianapolis. “We try to really cover all the bases. … Every time you hear something, you check it out. And so we have to do our job. We have to do our due diligence.”

Washington, which holds the No. 11 overall pick in the draft, is one of many teams that has openly expressed a desire to bring in a new starter. Early signs suggest that there won’t be many options available through the trade.
