Russell Wilson Seahawks Apology Demanded by K.J. Over Love Affair Rumor
K.J. Wright is a "Seattle Seahawks kind of guy.'' Always has been. Always will be. And in his defense of his team and his teammates, he is once again speaking frankly of the missteps he believes have been taken by ex-teammate Russell Wilson.
"When you play this game, when you go through this journey, it’s all about the brothers,'' Wright said on his podcast, "KJ All Day.'' And when it’s all said and done, he’s got a lot of making up to do.”
Some think that Wilson did Seattle wrong by engineering his way out of town, which ended with him becoming a member of the Denver Broncos via a blockbuster trade a year ago. But Wright's position is that there are issues that go deeper than that ...
Like the old 2013 Super Bowl Week rumor about one of Wilson's former Seahawks teammates, Golden Tate, having an affair with Wilson's then-wife Ashton.
“I was texting Russ like, ‘Dude, clear my name, say something,’ and he kinda didn’t say much. I just wanted it to be over … It kind of made me angry because now, everyone’s just coming at me completely sideways and I’m not being defended,” Tate detailed to Wright.
Tate has explained before how the rumor was malicious and fake, how he and his wife Elise remain "best friends'' with Ashton, who attended their wedding. To this day, some believe the bogus story created a rift between the organization and Tate ....
And now Tate has joined other Seahawks in blasting Wilson. That feeling is obviously not universal; Wilson just joined some of the fellas at Tyler Lockett's wedding. But that feeling is real.
“I don’t want to go viral with this, I really don’t,” Wright said, suggesting that the former QB owes some apologies. “A few dudes came on here - off record, on record - and have said what they’ve said or how they felt about No. 3. ... He’s got a lot of making up to do ... a lot of phone calls to make.
"A lot of ‘Hey bro, I should’ve done better with that.’ And that’s the god honest truth. I couldn’t hold that inside, but he’s got a lot of making up to do.”
