I don't think anyone wants a plan where the money goes from an over payed player and then back to the owners. I think what most are saying is take some from the guys at the top and distribute it around to the lower guys. At least thats the way I am reading it.

Keep in mind that there is additional pressure on Seattle. Wilson's wife Ciara has talked about how her rapidly stalling music career would be helped by being in the New York area. Seattle needs to pay Russell enough that she will stop moaning about how much she is losing by not being in a media center. Happy wife, happy life you know
Hey Corbin. If you are posting an article, please give proper credit by either including the link or the author’s name and where it was published.
I agree. And is the umpa lumpa the best QB in the league anyway? I don't think so and I would think the biggest contract should go to the best QB. I realize Wilson does some great things with his legs and arm and has shown to be more resilient than most running QBs but without that defense, I just don't see them winning the SB on the play of wussell. I think he makes it very difficult on his O-line and tries to do too much on his own.
All that said, I hope they pay him huge jack and then the new CBA gets this crap straightened out.
Eventually a team MUST start the trend of not letting their QB take up so damn much of their salary cap. Let's face it; QB's aren't coming out of college on the same level anymore, so why pay them like they're Rodgers, Brees, or Brady?

MY point wasn't that he doesn't deserve it. I actually love the guy. Just not the team. They don't seem to build around him well, so they are "striving for average", whereas without him, they would be a 3-5 win team.
:rant:Got it Ellard, you bastid!
May be the wrong thread for this, but.I would like to see Goff take a page from Brady and take a little less than he could get, and in return the Rams use that extra $ to continue building around the current core. Just think of all the endorsement $ Goff could get by winning multiple SBs in LA.
But back to the topic at hand, RW should get every penny he can out of seattle. They have put his career in jeopardy every season since they drafted him by refusing to give him an OL. And the fact that its seattle, a division foe, just makes it that much sweeter to see them in cap hell for as long as possible.

How crazy would it be after they ditch ODB for the Giants to get Russell Wilson next off-season in a BLOCKBUSTER signing?
That would make me so happy...in part because Skip Bayless would have a meltdown and then try and sell how Dak Prescott is actually as good or better than Russell Wilson....and Shannon Sharpe would spend the next year saying nothing, but "Skip! C'mon, Skip!....SKIP! You crazy, man!" on a loop.
Not that it's much different now, but...

I'd personally love that.
As for Wilson, he's the only one keeping that team afloat. I don't know if you pay him like the best quarterback and have nothing around him or if you let him go and have to find a new quarterback.
Either way, Seattle has some thinking to do.
I was thinking along similar lines. The Q spot can't take up 20-25% of the cap and the team still have enough $$$$ for the other players it would take to be a contender.
Maybe a separate cap for Q's, or maybe each team has it's own cap based on the Q's deal? In other words, each team has a "base" cap, and then there's the Q's deal which when added to the "base" cap, would create a total cap number somewhat unique to each team.
Not sure the owners would agree to an open ended cap, though.
especially small market ownership. We got Stanley Enos now instead of Georgia, so it would work out for us!
If you PM me the article link, I’d be happy to. It’s just something we’ve always asked of people when they post articles.Okay, I'll need moderator access so I can edit my post.
