Not that I live there so I probably shouldn't really comment, but if he keeps doing what he's doing, the people of SEATTLE should be taking care of this guy until he gets paid. Russell Wilson should never have to pay for a meal, a drink, parking, gas, a hair cut, a coffee, a pack of gum, a movie... nothing. Businesses should comp him and say thankya, please never ever leave us.

Rather than having something happen which would be a CBA violation and cost Seattle picks/money, I'm sure Wilson is getting taken care of with endorsements. (See the Levi commercial, for instance.)

I wonder if he's allowed to do a microsoft endorsement, or if that's a no no.

Why worry, folks? You can't imagine that Wilson is going to feel stiffed by the team that gave him a chance to prove all the doubters wrong, can you?
Wilson's proven that he's the franchise QB the team was looking for, and when the CBA allows, you know this FO is going to take care of him (after all, they do seem to be pretty fond of the guy).

Paul has nothing to do with Microsoft anymore, so I am sure he can. He will make his moolah on endorsements. He's already got a Nike deal. I am sure they are paying him more than his base salary in his contract. The farther he gets in the playoffs the more endorsements he'll pick up which will be the great "offset".

This times 100 is how you take care of a player that is far outplaying the curreny contract that they have to honor.

The guy already makes 3-6x what most people make, why would we pay for anything for him? I pay for his salary when I buy tickets and buy Seahawk gear. It's not like he's hurting at 350k a year plus bonus for playoff's and other things.

This. No need to get him or the team in trouble. One of the reasons the bounty program was deemed illegal by the league (not just in the Saints incident) is that it in essence increased the players' pay and therefore had cap implications. I'm sure that when he's able to get a raise, he will get a gigantic one.Sarlacc83":12ua3sy4 said:

Ummm, I know by NFL standards he's not making much. But there is no way in heck Wilson is hurting for money. The dude is already set for a long time, and my puny salary doesn't need to be going to him for anything. Sorry, but that's the reality.

Assuming his agent is smart, they included escalators in his contract based on performance and exposure.

The rules changed. That's the problem. Old players felt they were getting cut because of the overpayment of young players who hadn't done anything. So.... they really can't do much. They are basically slotted in and that's that. They also can't renegotiate until after I believe his third year.

Yeah, no doubt. Okay, just watch him leave when his conrtact is up for whoever is the highest bidder. I mean, if it's only about the money right..?pehawk":1lwhd6s5 said:
