Russell Wilson to Seahawks: "Give me love or nothing at all!"

[BusSport]

Give me love or nothing at all!

 

[williewilliejuan]

Trouble in paradise

 

[dkmightyhammer]

If those are the Seahawks choices I'd suggest they give him love. Love, love, love. All they need is love. All they need is love. Love is all they need.

Russell wants to be a Cowboy so he can moonlight with the Rangers

 

[RegentDenali]

He's welcome to sign with the Raiders or Browns to be the highest paid QB in the league if he thinks he's got a raw deal playing for the Seahawks.

"Love" costs about $24 million a year, by the way.

The Seahawks have the wealthiest owner in the NFL and they are playing hardball with Wilson.

Right, because how much the owner's worth is the only consideration... :rollseyes:

If Paul Allen could open his wallet and pay whatever he wanted I'm sure this would be done already. That silly little salary cap issue is a problem though. Good thing for other teams there is one though, since Paul Allen could pretty much turn the Seahawks into the Yankees if he was allowed to spend whatever he wanted.

It may not be the only consideration but Wilson did lead his team to two SB's.

Then sign him. Sounds like RW is getting rattled by this stare down, he shouldn't, it will all work out.

Or the Cardinals in 2017 when Palmer retires. Seahawk fans would hate that.

Wealth means nothing when there's a salary cap.

 

[Texas Jefe]

wow, it's hard (really hard) to get a winning NFL quarterback.

Cant believe they'd throw one away. Hubris? Feel like they can pluck another mid-rounder and turn him into a SB winning QB?

have said that 'till I'm blue in the face over the years

No kidding, but it won't happen. Some hard negotiations go on, but at the end you know the Seahawks will sign him.

He still can't exceed the cap. It's not just RW they need to give love to. Thye have already been dealing out serious coin to the Defense.

The first priority should be their franchise QB.

People may or may not disagree with that? However, the majority of contracts are already in play. Not saying they won't keep RW. Just saying like many others it's going to take some creativity. If you do pay him as the top QB chances are the will not be able to sign Wagnoeer, Bennett or Irvin. Then again maybe Seattle doesn't want to resign/renegotiate those contracts.
