I don't really pay too much attention too our pay roll to be honest.
But Percy Harvin does seem like the huge bust at this moment. We are really paying this dude millions of dollars per season when he really hasn't displayed even the slightest shred of consistency or durability to play a full season?
Percy Harvin was without a doubt a huge gamble, and I hope he comes through with us with a Super Bowl run, that was clearly the objective to bring him here, one or two big plays we win Super Bowl money well spent...
And I know people have been complaining a lot about Sidney Rice and how we are paying him way too much money. I really don't agree with that sentiment until he got injured this year. I considered him to be our best overall receiver last year. That was no fluke when you consider how good Tate and Baldwin are. I don't want to look up the stats but pretty sure Sydney outperformed both of them last year, he is a legit badass receiver. We are just lucky we have guys who can fill his shoes.
So really I think this whole topic is a little off. Why are we focusing on Russel's contract. We should be focusing on the other guys...
For me the question is do our other players have enough loyalty to stay once Russel gets his pay? It really isn't about Russels pay increase, he is the most underpayed player in the league. So why are we thinking about Russel making sacrifices?
We should be wondering which other key players will take a slight hit to be on a dynasty team? Think Ray Allen taking chump change to play with Miami. That's what we have here in Seattle. People should be coming here to play with Russell for dimes on the dollar not the other way around...
All that being said we are such a run heavy offense that I think we might be able to get a little discount comparatively to Russell's talent.
And I do agree with other's sentiment that Russell cares about more than just his paycheck. I say he gets around 16 million a year and he'd be set and we can still keep our other players. THE OTHER PLAYERS are the ones who need too accept a bit smaller paycheck, Russell is getting paid end of story.
