Russell Wilson trade rumors are hot in the internet streets these days. Eagles, Commanders (WFT) and even the now quarterback-less Bucs have been the most popular names. The buzz in Philadelphia has been the loudest, and the latest turn in the saga has people scratching their heads.

Monday afternoon, BetOnline locked up odds that the Eagles would be Russell Wilson’s team Week 1.

Hmmmmmmmmm, but why? The most logical answer is they are just adjusting odds and paused this play. Typically adjustments to futures get locked while changes are being made, unlike game plays that change on the fly. But one really interesting thing to note here is none of the other teams have been locked out.

Normally, if there was news coming out that was going to change odds, all the plays would lock up. That to me could mean that any rumors or news coming out only pertains to the Eagles.

You put this bet lock together with Hatgate from the pro bowl, and we’ve got ourselves some smoke.

But there is also the off chance that this is all totally BS just to try and drum up some exposure for a shitty offshore sportsbook. If that is the case, touché BetOnline. I’ll be holding my breathe until the start of the season and pray that it’s Mr. Unlimited under center.
