After the trade, Seattle tweeted a video of Tom Hanks in “Castaway” asking where Wilson is, but ended up up deleting it after it went viral.
You can see a screenshot of the now-deleted tweet below.
The #Seahawks tweet reached over 82,000 likes earlier but they now deleted it.
I assume a lot of Seahawks fans didn’t appreciate their team making jokes about losing their franchise QB.
Hawks remaining QBs are:
Drew Lock
Geno Smith

Why the hell did the Seahawks take this down? Not only is it hilarious, it went mega-viral. That’s the entire point of social media.

It wasn’t malicious or mean in any way. Yet, the Seahawks ultimately decided to take it down. I guess comedy is truly dead.

If you can’t tweet a joke after the biggest trade in the NFL in maybe at least a decade, then what are we even doing here?
Hell, the Denver Broncos shared a post from “Castaway,” and it’s still up!

Never be afraid to crack a joke, especially in intense moments like rocking the NFL with a major trade. I guess that’s just a lesson the NFL was never taught.
