Personally I have no issue with them trying to trade for a top QB; if they can pull it off, it's an instant upgrade. I just think a) it's incredibly unlikely for most of the reasons already given and b) its akin to the Rams win now approach. It might work, but its a formula for catastrophic failure if it doesn't. I can't see RR buying into that (though Danny definitely would).

AR is looking for a contender that his arrival would push over the top. We're not in rebuild mode, but we're not an immediate contender either (unless we miracle draft our gaps on O&D this year). I can imagine him in LV, Miami, Philly, NO etc. far easier than imagining him here.
Watson might come with the right offer, but I doubt he wants to, and all that legal baggage feels like it would turn out a hangover after a lousy night out, all the pain and none of the pleasure (Watson's already had the pleasure apparently).
Wilson might, but I agree Seattle aren't letting him stroll out the building. Would he work here anyway? Right now we have an unknown re the OL (Scherff?), 1 top WR, unknown at TE (will LT come back 100%?), questions about our running attack; he alone can't make us a top O, and losing the picks we'd need to land him, we couldn't add via the draft this year (and probably next).

I would chase AR but I can't see it being a chase we come close to succeeding with. For me, pick up best FA (DON'T trade for Jimmy G or Carr), draft a QB without reaching and if needs be, draft QB again next year.
