The Seahawks would be a better team because they'd 20 million more to spend in free agency while the Chiefs are probably not franchising Chris Jones and cutting Sammy Watkins to make the money work for Russell.
Nice strawman.
The question is, who is the better QB?
Russell Wilson #1 in WAR @ 4.08 > Patrick Mahomes @ 2.96

Advanced metrics point to Wilson being better right now. Tight window throw %, Big time throws. Once you take these QBs out of their very different systems and the talent surrounding them, Wilson wins out.
But I fully understand normies thinking Mahomes is better because of the offense he plays in.
