Requiem for a rival — the Seahawks’ trade of Russell Wilson is the 49ers’ biggest offseason win

The 49ers will never fully rid themselves of Russell Wilson.

Wilson was a worthy adversary and a brilliant nemesis. His ability to seemingly always find a way to beat the 49ers — no matter the circumstances and certainly no matter the venue — bordered on magic. He was the kind of player that broke Niners’ fans’ hearts so many times that you couldn’t help but respect him.

Less than two years after Seattle traded two first-round picks for a box safety, the Seahawks only received two first-round picks in return for the greatest player in the history of the franchise. Wilson is 33 years old, still one of the best players in the league, and that’s all Seattle could muster?

Oh, and Seattle also acquired quarterback Drew Lock, defensive tackle Shelby Harris, and tight end Noah Fant.So, to recap, the Seahawks traded a player with magical powers and received two first-round picks, some chips to play craps with, a young but failed starting quarterback, and two good but not spectacular players at two non-impact positions.

Here are the Niners... we'll get there. Seahawks have had no impact on the 49ers success or faiures recently and certainly not Russell Wilson.

Lol...where are the Seahawks?
