Russell Wilson wants to be highest paid NFL player

[Legatron4]

I saw this on Facebook. I have no source or link. But apparently he's asking for more then Rodgers' 5 year 110 mill. Crazy.

Hope he gets it and ties up a ton of their cap space.

Exactly they won't be able to resign half of the defense if they sign him to a contract like that. Bobby Wagner and Earl Thomas are due a pay day along with Chancellor.

 

[RAGRam]

He deserves it, pay the guy Seahawks :huh:.

 

[Akrasian]

Well, I suppose it's good in negotiations to be aggressive in your initial demands. But there is a difference between being aggressive and being delusional.

Hopefully the Seahawks cave.

 

[RaminExile]

Ha. Possibly the 50th or 60th best player wanting to be paid like the best player? Go for it Seahawks. Sign him up.

Maybe I don't understand football but JJ Watt and soon to be Aaron Donald should make more money than anyone in the league.

Russell Wilson deserves top 10ish money not number 1 money.

I don't believe he'll get that much money from the Albatross or any other team...I'm a little surprised, I thought he was a little more down to Earth than that...

 

[RAMSinLA]

He's a good QB...two trips to the big game and a ring! If Foles were to do that for the Rams I'd send him half of my paycheck...

 

[RamBall]

He's either starting high or he is HIGH.

Nah, that's all an act, he's trying to cash-in before everyone realises that he's just ok, and without Marshawn the offense would be utter pants

 

[Selassie I]

The end is near.

 

[…..]

yup.

however.....

I don't think the Seahwks would pay him. Not highest paid, and no where close in my opinion

It's only fair. He's been playing for $15m less than what he's worth the last couple of years. In reality the seagulls owe him $30m more than he is worth right now.

If he leaves to another team for more money the Seahawks gm will look like a genius because Wilson will be exposed without the top 3 defense and Lynch in the backfield.

 

[Ky Ram]

I'm no big Russell Wilson fan, but the kid has gone to the big dance twice, and really should have two rings to show for it if his coach wasn't an assclown.
Not sure why he get's the game manager title when the Hags damn sure hadn't been to the promised land without him. Not sayin he should be the highest paid, but give the man his credit.

 

[snackdaddy]

Pay him. Even if it means you gotta let some defensive stars go.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Pay him. Even if it means you gotta let some defensive stars go.

That's the thing, they want their cake, AND they want to eat it too.
