The deadline was nearly here when a deal had finally been reached between Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. Those worried about Wilson finding his way to free agency can relax for another five seasons, as Wilson is locked up with a new four year extension worth $87.6 million including a $31 million signing bonus. The Seahawks have got Wilson for the prime of his career, as he joins the payroll field of the elites such as Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisbeger. Wilson has a $60 million guarantee in his contract, as the back to back Super Bowl appearance QB now only looks up at the face of the Green Bay Packers when it comes to highest per year average salary. The contract ends in 2019, the year he turns 31 giving Wilson the opportunity of another big paycheck later down the road. The only QB I would expect to pass him in average salary would be Andrew Luck of the Colts who is due for quite the raise soon. Wilson has lead the Seahawks to the playoffs all three seasons, pulling off the Super Bowl victory over Denver in his second season. With the new addition of TE Jimmy Graham, look for Wilson to be affective this season with his many options and of course his great run game. I expect the Seahawks to put on a show this season, as they battle the Cardinals and rising Rams for the NFC West title.
