As much as I hate to bring up his name, isn't Kaep due for a new contract this year? That will be a good barometer of Russel's future worth IMO. Hate Kape if you like but he represents the same group of guys like Wilson, RGIII, Luck, Tannehill, Foles etc. And at this point Russel is head and shoulders above all of them! Foolish to think he would sign for much less than $20M at this point.
My guess is they will either franchise him in 2015 or give him an extension this off-season at a similar price. Something around ~$17M a year. I think Wilson will get more than Kaep though.
Yeah no question he will be worth more than Kaep. Newton is also due to renew.
