    Kam holding out for more money

    Well, nobody has answered my question. . . . :roll: . . . .which was. . . . If the Seahawks can't pay Chancellor the extra bonus money that he wants because of cap considerations. . . . just how much could they get for him in a trade?? He's certainly not of any value to the Seahawks if he...

    Kam holding out for more money

    Granted that Chancellor is about the best safety that ever was. . . but he doesn't help the Seahawks much at all if he's sitting at home watching his big screen TV instead of playing, even if he is texting advice to the rookies every so often. The fact is if he isn't playing, he's not a great...

    How much could the Seahawks get for Chancellor in a trade??

    Granted that he is about the best safety that ever was. . . but he doesn't help the Seahawks much at all if he's sitting at home watching his big screen TV instead of playing. And if he's demanding more money in just the second season of his new contract. . . what would keep him from demanding...

    What is the reason. . .

    that the NFL starts training camps (rookies and veterans). . . on different dates? This year the Seahawks, of course, started on Friday, July 31. The Vikings and the Steelers reported first. . .both teams reported on July 25 -- a Saturday. That's understandable since they play in the Hall of...

    Russell signs for 4 years 87.6mil (New Main Wilson Thread)

    Uh, no. Russell might make $21.9 million a year. . . if he happens to meet all the performance requirements. The only way you could say that he was making $21.9 million a year was if instead of $60 million of the $87.5 million being guaranteed, $87.5 million of the $87.5 million was guaranteed.

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    I think we all could be flat out wrong. . . since the only thing we've got is snippets of supposed information leaked from unknown sources. . .most likely the Seahawk Front Office. As far as I can tell the offer is. . . 1. No change in salary this year -- it will remain at $1.5 million, making...

    Does Russell Wilson make Marshawn Lynch a better player??

    There has been much discussion and repeated suggestion that the only reason Russell Wilson has enjoyed such spectacular success his first three years in the NFL is because Marshawn Lynch lines up beside him in the backfield. But could the argument be made that the reason Marshawn Lynch has had...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    Two possible explanations. . . .take your choice: 1) Clayton doesn't know what he is talking about. . .since the Seahawks have made it extremely clear that Russell is paying for $1.5 million dollars this year whether he signs a new contract or not. The new contract is not for this year -- it...

    710 Tuesday BR's Jason Cole on what Russell wants plus more!

    Oh, absolutely. Someone in Russell Wilson's tax bracket would have to pay the same income tax -- the marginal rate -- on the $8 million dollars as well as the $150,000. So, using the aforementioned 40%. . . he would get to keep 60% of $8 million dollars. . .or $4.8 million dollars, as...

    710 Tuesday BR's Jason Cole on what Russell wants plus more!

    Let's suppose that RW did sign, and got a signing bonus of $20 million dollars. Right off the top you need to subtract maybe 40%. . for Federal and State Taxes. Actually, it's more complicated than that. The top Federal rate is 39.6%; Washington has no state income tax, but pro football...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    Uh, to borrow from Inigo Montoya, I don't think the contract negotiations are about what you think they are about. The Seattle Seahawks have more or less announced that come hell or high water, Russell Wilson will play out his rookie contract and be compensated at a rate of $1.5 million for...

    710 Tuesday BR's Jason Cole on what Russell wants plus more!

    Okay. . . . just where do you suppose the reports on the $22 million a year are coming from??? Do you suppose that some sports writer consulted a psychic who gave him the inside scoop? Or do you think that sports writer maybe got it from one of two groups. . .as in 1) The Seahawks, or 2)...

    710 Tuesday BR's Jason Cole on what Russell wants plus more!

    Really? Is that "22 mill he's been offered" perhaps have a few conditions on it. . like maybe requiring him to throw for 6000 yards a year with no more than three interceptions, to be named the NFL MVP, and for the Seahawks to win the Superbowl each -- or his salary reverts to the league...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    "Pitsme" is quite right. . . Aaron Rogers, who is possibly the best passer to ever play in the NFL, didn't have hardly any pressure at all in his face in the NFC championship game against the Seahawks. . . he was only sacked once. Russell Wilson, at best a pale imitation of Aaron Rogers, was...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    Okay, here's your original post. . . . So. . . you were referring to a hypothetical "favorable deal" in which Wilson's contract "would be about 60% guaranteed". . . . .with "true guaranteed money", and not like "The other money these (other) QBs received" which was "guaranteed for injury...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    Oh, I don't doubt you at all about Roethlisberger having those numbers . . . .after all, the details of his contract were made known once he signed off on it. But I'm not particularly interested in his contract. I'm just wondering how you know about Russell Wilson's offer involving "true...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    Hmm. . . interesting. I 've read all those sources. . . and not a single one mentioned anything about "true guaranteed money" as opposed to injury only guarantees. Of course, I might be missing something. About the only article I found that went into much detail at all about the guarantees was...

    Seahawks reportedly make huge contract offer to Russell

    The only thing that we as fans know is what the Seahawks feel is an appropriate, fair amount to pay for Russell Wilson's services. . . and that's no more than about $1.5 million dollars a year. The reason we know that is that is the amount Wilson is due this coming year, which is the final...
