I'm assuming from a cap aspect that is the last thing Seattle wants to do.
You extend him now, that gives you a chance to lock up other key players in the future.

Yeah, the only leverage he has, albeit a shitty one, is to hold out. That's the only leverage any player under contract has. But it's worked for players in the past, so let's see what happens.

Given the NFL and their sellout status these days. They'll be sponsored by American Family Insurance.

Your figures are off. More like $25 mil in 2016, 33 mil in 2017, and 44 mil in 2018.
I agree with this statement. From a "pay the least amount possible" perspective, your view makes sense.
From a "remain competitive for as long as possible" by proper cap management perspective, it does not. NFL teams literally have a license to print money, their main concern is cap space. Being faced with a looming 25 mil cap hit for franchising Wilson in 2016 is in itself some small amount of leverage. Knowing your team is built to win and win NOW, as long as your starting QB doesn't hold out is even more leverage.
Saying Wilson has zero leverage is just plain silly. Does he hold the upper hand? Probably not, but he most certainly holds some.

Clearly, Jesus would want him to hold out for more money. No decent Christian can survive on less than $22mil per year.

Mathew19:24
And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Russell apparently is citing the revised version:
And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "Unless he can thread that needle, then the stacks and that shit is all good, yo.

I find when you take exception to other people's religion or how they interpret specific parts of their religion wars end up starting...
Let's remember, we only know him as a football player. He's not any or our spiritual leader or life coach, so let's just focus on evaluating him on what we want from him and that's his football playing ability.

Teams typically put about 1/2 the cap towards their defense. If he's doing what you are saying with a salary cap around ~$140M he's at least worth $70M/season...

You have to spend pretty close to the salary cap to justify what you are doing, so I'm just thinking it would be wise to.... guarantee everything.... to everybody....
