Seahawks, Russell Wilson agree to $87.6M extension
The deal includes a $31 million signing bonus and $60 million in guarantees.
Not too bad for having no leverage.......lmao

Yeah, he should have just played this year for 1.5 mil and prayed he didn't get significantly hurt......what the hell was he thinking?
I can't blame the guy one bit.

They lost the advantage of having a good QB on a backups salary which will hurt them a little, but that team seems like it's ran pretty well so they should be okay. I can't wait to see what kind of money Luck commands now though. Almost all of Wilson's contract was guaranteed, Luck gonna get 80mil guaranteed you think?

Seattle seems to do well drafting and finding young talent, obviously such a large contract will eventually have them sacrifice keeping certain players...but what are they going to do, let a young up and coming star who is far from peaking leave for another team? Seattle was keeping him at whatever cost, it just came down to how low Wilson would sign for.

They would have been crazy to let him leave.
Agreed. His contract is gonna be crazy.

No more of a, "He is a franchise QB worth #1 money in the league vs he is a very good QB with a lot of help in his success worth #8-10ish QB money."
No surprise he got paid. Now, it will be very interesting to see if ye is worth #2 overall QB money. I am highly skeptical.

Seattle paid for what the market value was for a QB.

When he became the #2 highest paid QB, he was paid the market value for an elite QB. That which I don't think he is and you do, as can be referenced in the preceding 15 pages.

Obviously Seattle thought so...it's not like they are a bottom feeder organization

Like I said, it will be interesting to see if it was the right move or not.
Seattle also gave Minn a 1st, 3rd and 7th for Percy Harvin, paid him $19 M for 8 games played and 23 receptions and traded him to the Jets after a year and a half for a 6th, so the best franchises don't always get it right.

I think Seattle gave him the money because it's not really that easy to duplicate Wilson's ability at QB. And they don't want to have to start all over at that position. He's been able to perform well in that offense given his only weapon is Lynch.

I really couldn't give a shit what they pay Wilson. But anybody who was thrilled with the Cutler deal on here (and there were plenty) should not be taken seriously on what they are posting in this thread, already lost all credibility.

The Seahawks reached an agreement with Matt Flynn on a three-year contract Sunday, bringing one of the most wanted -- yet unproven -- free agents to the Pacific Northwest. The Seahawks didn't announce financial terms, but a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora the deal is worth a maximum of $26 million, with $10 million guaranteed.

Yeah, I don't even bother posting in those 20 page Cutler threads. Sorry if it looked that way, don't want to make it a Cutler thread. There is just no accountability for people that are dead wrong on things (Cutler, Trestman, Emery, etc), and then just move on long nothing ever happened.
