Mike Florio posts a Russell Wilson rumor that will terrify Seahawks fans

There have been enough Patriot threads lately so thought a new Seahawk one would be nice to even things out.

Mike Florio posts a Russell Wilson rumor that will terrify Seahawks fans | Sun Times National

The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly offered Russell Wilson a contract in the range of Cam Newton’s $103 million deal, but it’s not something he’s willing to accept.

Mike Garafolo says both parties are still way off an agreement as the quarterback wants to be the highest paid player in the league

But Mike Florio is now predicting that Wilson may see out the remainder of his deal in Seattle and move elsewhere, a terrifying prospect for Seahawks fans.

After a pair of Super Bowl appearances and a championship, Wilson is certainly going to demand more than the Carolina Panthers quarterback.

Reports have surfaced saying Wilson wants to be the highest paid player in the league, and really, who doesn’t? That may or may not be realistic, and even if he does get that type of money, it’s likely to be trumped when Andrew Luck signs his deal anyway.

B/c it's true. Mentioned on air SEA offers in Cam range. Not good enough. Do the math. @JasonPhilCole has it right. https://twitter.com/profootballtalk/status/614455200024276992 …

Been hearing from plenty of folks since posting latest Russell Wilson blurb. Current prediction: He's playing for someone else in 2016.

Naa it's all going to work out just fine. The Seahawks will end up paying more then they like and RW will accept less then what he hopes to get.

This is all posturing. It'll get done eventually. It'll be expensive to be sure, but it will get done.

This happens when any elite player/upper echelon QB approaches FA.

You hear that?? Its the sound of thousands of buttholes puckering up, coming from the northwest

Won't compare to all the butthole puckering once he signs with the Seahawks. Good try though.

Yup.

Give the dude a cookie.

Meh, it's all posturing. Unless the negotiating gets acrimonious or SEA's front office has a huge brain fart, Wilson will get paid & be back in a SEA uniform.

And there is no way SEA would ever put the non-exclusive franchise tag on him.

Yup, you got that right.

Just like the posturing that Ndamukong Suh was doing.

You think Schneider is as confident as Mayhew was?

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Just like the posturing that Ndamukong Suh was doing.

Yeah like a franchise QB is the same as stud DT or JS is the same as Mayhew. RW isn't going anywhere.

 

[broncosmitty]

I see Herald is as confident as Mayhew...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Just like the posturing that Ndamukong Suh was doing.

Yes actually, but quite frankly that looks more like a lack of foresight on the part of the Lions FO than anything... That is, if they were at all serious about keeping him. Just my 2 cents on that.

Seattle has plenty of ways to make sure Wilson is happy, financially. Unless Wilson hates Seattle or something, he's staying.

Yup. Without a doubt.

There's no way that Seattle will let a proven winner go. Give him is highest paid claim for rewarding for his success during his rookie contract and Luck will pass right by him as will other QB's.
