I only go to that site to just read the comments. I have no idea why it attracts all the crazy people.... but it does. Funny stuff.

By reading Russell's tweet I think it's the Seahawks want to put in a no baseball clause in his contract. Russel talks about his dad wanting him to be a baseball player and I don't think he is willing to give that up. Just my opinion though.

For what its worth on the Brock and Salk show this morning with John Clayton they were saying the hang up is Wilson camp doesn't want to structure their contract like other Seahawks have ie Thomas and Sherman where the final year of their rookie deal is still low but it jumps after that (which could be where Florio is coming from if that is the case since its good enough for other players in the locker room to structure that way but not Wilson). The amount that the Hawks are sitting at is 21m a year but Wilson isn't happy with the low salary they want him to take for the 2015 season.
Who knows if that is the truth or not, just passing along what they were chatting about.

That could be, but if that is all it is, they will work something out. I saw something were the hang up is the guaranteed money, the hawks want Wilson to take the same as Sherman but Wilson wants a little more. Last I checked there is not one franchise QB out there who has less guaranteed money than a CB or SS.

You're wrong. Sherman has $40 million guaranteed. That's the same as most franchise QBs. Same as Brees ($40 million), less than Rivers ($38 million), Roethlisberger ($31 million), Flacco ($29 million), Manning ($18 million), and Kaepernick ($13 million), Only two QBs have significantly more than that: Aaron Rodgers ($54 million) and Bradford's ridiculous, franchise-killing contract ($50 million). The Rams could have released Bradford a long time ago if not for that insane amount of guaranteed money. Also, there is no way the team would frame a guaranteed-money offer around what Sherman is making. That might be how Russell's baseball agent is framing it or just something made up by a reporter looking for clicks.

I'm not about to judge either side during a negotiation. It is what it is and will get done in a way that works for everybody in time. Even tho there are reports out that dispute it, he is human folks.
