In a memo the NFL sent teams today, it informed them that Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, eligible for a new deal after this season, is changing agents, per sources.
Another source said that Wilson is likely to go with his baseball agent, Mark Rodgers. Wilson did speak recently with his former NFL agent Bus Cook, and praised Cook but wanted to keep all his business with one agent, thus the change.
A source close to Wilson said Cook was not fired, but simply the quarterback was making a change.

Bus Cook was fired and Wilson also divorced his wife earlier this year. The guy has become a prima donna in his short NFL tenure.

Young, rich (about to be richer), single and is a Super Bowl Champion. Not bad for his short NFL tenure.

Great moves by Wilson. First, dump the wife. Next, dump the agent and go with a good one to sign the big contract.

How is that being a prima donna ?

He obviously did not get along with the wife, so why keep her around ?

He went with the agent he feels will get him the best deal.

Just a guess, but perhaps GG is a Bus Cook fan?

Bus Cook was officially his agent according to the NFL, but Russ has always called Rodgers his "two-sport agent." The only reason he hadn't been with Rodgers before is that he wasn't certified for football. He is now NFL-certified (likely to get this commission) so it makes sense Russell moved to him. This is a change in title only.

I hope we can sign Russ for no more than $50M guaranteed.

The rest of the contract outside of guaranteed dollars is irrelevant, so that's the only number we should care about.

Hey just because you are cool with YOUR wife/GF/BF screwing other men doesn't mean Russell Wilson is.

That's not going to happen. If the Hawks finish strong this year, his guarantee will probably be 60+.

Really? I thought this was a forum where folks could express their opinions.
