Is one of the conditions that Russ now has to call Kam and tell hem there's no more money left to redo his deal so he might as well report to camp now?

Great news, this contract is about in line with Rodgers/Roethlisberger. JS did an excellent job.

PWR members know I am not religous, but in honor of our QB I will say:

HALLELUJAH!

Bobby can do that after he gets his new deal

Now I won't have to draft a QB in madden anytime soon.

Russell Wilson Title Loans, at your service.

Good for Russell for squeezing out the best deal he can get. He has earned every penny.

180 degrees from the emotions I've been feeling this past week. Best roller coaster ride I've been on in a while!

 

[ImTheScientist]

Our lord and savior has signed!

Couldn't agree more. And after he adds 3 more rings over the next 5 years, he'll get another megadeal right after he turns 30.

After 3 more SBs, he won't need a huge contract. New endorsements would dwarf any other QB and much like MJ, they would drown out any contract money.

Glorious day for Future Jr.

 

[Timmahawk]

Yes!

Glorious day for Future Jr.

Don't be like that...

Cool. Nailed the final offer, more or less. But I based the 50% guarantee on a 5 year total, not 4. Same diff'.

June 30:

$21.9M APY. Guarantee half the total deal. No gimmicky structure.

Wilson will be a close second behind Rodgers, ahead of Roethlisberger and Newton. Luck will surpass him next year, but no other QB is due for a payday over the next three years. #3 is all but assured Top 3 money for 3-4 years.

As of now, that would be my last offer if I were them.

 

[White Devil]

The deal is done.

Russ got the same money it would cost this team to franchise tag him for the next 2 years, without having to wring hands and worry about holding out and year to year deals. This kid was at the helm of the team for back to back Super Bowls while making 3rd round money on his rookie contract. This is about compensating him for work already done.

Whether you think he's a game manager, or not, the truth is he helped get the job done, did his part and didn't crack under pressure. That's worth being paid for. No Seahawks fan should be upset about that. The rest of the money is a sign of confidence that he will continue to work as hard as he does and only get better. This is a win for both sides.

Now get to work. :0190l: :th2thumbs: :179417: :thirishdrinkers:
