Cams Deal numbers are in

[NorthHawk]

It seems to me Russell is very confident in his abilities and knows he will get around 20 million guaranteed the first year on the FT and 45 guaranteed if he's tagged twice.
It's part of the leverage game and how the cost goes up the closer to FA the player becomes - it's a game that the agents play very well.

Here's a link from PFT that says something about QBs and contract leverage.

Bob, you have ben the voice of patience with your "wait until TC mantra", but, you have to admit Training Camp is just around the corner.

Sure, Russell told the press that his contract negotiations are nobodies business but him and the F/O. That is what I expect to hear from RW being the classy guy that he is. Neither side is willing to negotiate through the press. Should that change then I would say they were at an impasse, as long as they are talking they are not at an impasse which was the point Pete tried to make last week.

But, it is telling that first Russell's agent then Russell himself volunteered to the press that he is ready to play w/o a new contract. They were sending Pete & John a clear message. We all know the Seahawks would have to pay Wilson a whole lot more if they have to FT him rather than get a deal done this off season. The longer the F/O drags their foot the more it is going to cost them, the bigger hit on the salary cap. Unless of course it doesn't. Both John and Pete have said they are going to stick to their system (unless your name is Lynch) and no one player is worth blowing up the system.

You know, when they threw away a #1 pick foe Percy Harvin he was under contract for for a few more seasons but what did John do? he tore up Harvin's contract salary cap be damned and gave him a lot more money, guaranteed. They had done the very same with Syndey Rice and they got very little production in return.

I once said that the high draft picks that Schneider threw away by over paying in certain trades was going to bite him in the behind, and it has. The depth we had in SB 48 run is long gone. He has also failed to build up the O-line, that simply cannot be denied.
Schneider, by paying Harvin and Rice way more than he needed to now doesn't have the money/cap space to pay RW what he deserves and maybe not even BWags.

Myself, I was hopping that J.S. would have moved heaven & Earth right after the Super Bowl to get Wilson resigned and then the FTag could be used on Bobby Wagner if necessary.

Last off season he got deals done with E.T. and Sherman done right away and it paid off. Look how much more other teams had to pay their top notch D-backs.

The longer our F/O drags their feet to resign Wilson he is watching lesser players get paid more than the Hawks have offered and that can hardly be comforting.

The NFL is a business, an entertainment business and in this era you can't get too attached to players because any player can be traded at any time.

Good points when it boils right down to it, though I have no direct proof maybe while they are saying all the right things, they just do not value Rw, maybe they really do think any mobile QB would do, with this team. I mean if you really think about it they have already shown Lynch means more to them than Wilson does, but redoing his contract while he still have years left and by giving him more money again this past year. Maybe their getting Graham was not about Wilson but about getting better talent so they can get a cheaper QB. We will see, but no matter how much we want to say no or ignore it the possibilities I raised are possible.

[mykc14]

Schneider, by paying Harvin and Rice way more than he needed to now doesn't have the money/cap space to pay RW what he deserves and maybe not even BWags.

Rice's contract is off the books so it doesn't affect RW's contract at all. Harvin's 7 mil hurts but it comes off the books next year, which is when you would expect a bump in RW's cap hit when he signs his contract so it really doesn't affect it too much. If he was still on the team his cap hit would be like 11-12 mil so that would certainly affect it, but the fact he is off the books next year really doesn't tie us up that much.

First of all you claim they have shown Lynch he means more to the team by redoing his contract when he had a year left. Hello! If they resign RW this offseason, which everybody hopes they do, they would be redoing his contract when he still has a year left (they also signed Sherm, ET, Kam, and others when they still had a year left). Secondly, you are right you have no direct proof that they don't value RW and tons of proof that they do value RW. Thirdly you have complained the last two years about the team getting talent around RW and when they finally do you change your tune and say it is now getting talent so they can get rid of RW, come on. Lastly, of course the issues you raised during the season about the Hawks not resigning RW or RW not wanting to resign are possible they always have been possible they just aren't very likely. They weren't likely then and they still are not likely. Also if something is a 'possibility' then by definition it is 'possible.'

Say what now? Rice is off the books, and signed prior to Wilson being drafted, Harvin isn' t an issue after this season, and he certainly is NOT the first 7 million dollar cap hit, and yet those teams were indeed able to sign franchise QB's, Hell, Tate got 6.5 to play second fiddle to a 20 million dollar receiver, so spare us. You are attempting to justify a position with made up, inaccurate erroneous claims. LMFAO.

[mykc14]

Can't disagree with that, now quick lets sign him before Indy gives Luck a stupid big contract.

[NorthHawk]

I believe the Colts let Mannings contracts expire twice before signing him so it wouldn't be a surprise if they did the same with Luck.
This could go on longer than people think.

Ahh no they would be giving him an extension, they redid Lynchs contract even though he had years left huge difference.

[Anthony]

wow were did you find that?

[mykc14]

Ahh no they would be giving him an extension, they redid Lynchs contract even though he had years left huge difference.

Ahh no they extended Lynch this offseason, he was set to be a FA after 2015 so he had 1 year left on his contract. I provided a link so you can see it with your own eyes.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/seattle-seah ... awn-lynch/

Really? Are they past some invisible point to sign him this offseason? Can they still give him an extension this offseason? If they do, which I still think they will, wouldn't that be extending him when he still has 1 year left on his contract? I don't know what you infatuation with turning this into a Lynch vs. Wilson thing but you really have a hard on for that argument. I really doubt the FO feels that way put you have been arguing that point for awhile now. You praise the Colts for getting Gore and Andre Johnson and then complain about the Hawks not putting pieces around Wilson. Then they lock up a WAY WAY better RB by resigning Lynch and you say that is basically a slap in Wilson's face because they did him first and then the trade for a WAY WAY better receiving option and that somehow now is just so they can get rid of Wilson. LOL, man you are just delusional. How many pallets of Toilet Paper do you still have from Y2K?

[HumanCockroach]

http://sea.247sports.com/Bolt/ESPNs-Cla ... p-37612398

Pretty much what I have been saying all along, more guarantees, shorter contract, high average.

[c_hawkbob]

Clayton might be on solid ground hearing things about the time frame of the signing, but the contract details sound more like speculation than new information. Either way I hope it happens!

[savvyman]

If there was one athlete that I have ever seen in my lifetime to take a risk on and lock up for as many years as possible......... it is Russell Wilson.

Again but they redid it with a year left and they changed what he made in 2015 something they have been unwilling to do so far with Wilson. Add to that he held out last year and they rearranged things to give him more money again. So my point still stands, they have shown how much they want lynch by being willing to do things for him they have not done for anyone else. As to the rest of your post I did not waste my time if you are to close minded to see the possibilities of what could happen then that is your issue.

Point in case

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11261 ... d-contract

"Lynch wants his contract renegotiated with more money up front this season. He is starting the third year of a four-year deal that pays him $30 million. Lynch has a base salary of $5 million this season and $5.5 million in 2015, but he will count $7 million against the salary cap this year and $9 million next year."

Thanks for playing

Agreed I still think length is an issue.

[HumanCockroach]

Anthony, your position on Lynch vs Wilson has so many flaws I could spend hours explaining the differences, but ALL that needs to be pointed out is this ONE thing. Wilson WILL be playing this year under the terms of his rookie deal, because, well he HAS to per the NFL scale rules, his salary is "set in stone", meaning using a shuffling of money for Lynch, a re worked contract, could be done for Lynch, and could NOT be done for Wilson. Your whole position is based on Wilson should have this contract reworked because Lynch did, when in fact even should Seattle want to make Wilson the highest paid player in history this season, they can't.

Your arguments have zero validity, or are even a possibility.
So thanks for playing.

Before being condescending towards Myck, you should at the least, you know wth you are talking about.

ANY player drafted or signed after the first round cannot renegotiate his final year of his contract ,which last I checked Wilson was not drafted in the first round ( the ONLY players that can have the last year torn up).

Good lord.

[mykc14]

Thanks for playing

I don't know why you feel the need to talk down to me like that but you come off as a spoiled little boy trying to argue at the big boy table for the first time who can't realize how disjointed and ignorant his arguments are. Somehow you feel you have come up with some perfectly worded argument that has totally put the other person in their place, hence the 'thanks for playing' remark. I would go more into how much of your argument is wrong but I think HC did a good job of revealing the tip of the iceberg in the previous post. There are many more examples but you just choose to ignore them when they are brought up and I don't really like participating in exercises of futility, so just know most of the posts you make where you feel you have just 'put somebody in their place' or you say something like' thanks for playing' or 'ahhhh no' the guy reading is just laughing because of how far off your points are.

Yes I see I mean after all the FO saying they would not redo deals, or change them during the deal and yet doing it for Lynch means nothing. Guess what because Wilson is in his last year they could tear it up, change it to give him something this year. Structure the new deal to give him something this year. However they have said they do not want to, the do not do business that way except for Lynch Sorry no holes. This is something Clayton had said just a few weeks ago, about how they could do something for Wilson for this year but do not want to as they do not do business that way, except for Lynch.

No Anthony, the can't do anything of the sort. They can NOT rework the deal, give him more this coming season, or tear up the deal regardless of the contract they give him for after this year, no matter how much you want to claim it, it is not true. They COULD / CAN attempt to compensate him AFTER this season, with more money starting in 16', but not one penny more for this coming season than his original contract.

And honestly, I could see that as a negotiation point.

Truth is, you are simply wrong, and a simple look into the rookie salary rules would verify it, IF you weren't so Hell bent on making this some sort of Wilson vs. Lynch "battle", you could figure it out.

So yeah they can they just do not want to because they want 1 more year of the steal that is Wilson, and they have said they do not renegotiate or change exiting contracts unless you name is Lynch obviously

[RiverDog]

Anthony, this comparison of yours of Wilson's impasse and Lynch's contract does not make sense. Wilson's contract is limited by the CBA whereas Lynch's isn't. They play different positions that have different expectations and are at different points on their personal timelines. I don't disagree with your premise, ie that the Hawks set a bad precedent with their pampering of Lynch, but that precedent does not apply to Wilson, but it would apply to someone like Bennett.

If you are looking for a player to compare to Russell's situation to, look to Bobby Wagner, of whom is also in the final year of his rookie contract and that we are also looking to extend but that no deal seems eminent at this time.

[mykc14]

Said the guy who responded to me with ". LOL, man you are just delusional. How many pallets of Toilet Paper do you still have from Y2K?" You threw the first stone not me.

I don't really feel like getting into a 'he started it' type of argument but you were sarcastic with your 'ahhhhh no' comment before my Y2K comment. If you want to talk about first stones I took that as the first stone.

Schneider is acting like an idiot on this deal. Hes been brilliant obviously but he has already cost the franchise money dragging his feet with Wilson.And he has lacked class by discussing things in the media that he hasn't even discussed with RW or his agent, a fact the agent gently alluded to in his recent comments. And allowing guys like Tannehill and Newton to push the bar even higher was a mistake. Of all people Wilson deserved a new deal the moment league rules would permit it. He is perhaps the biggest bargain in NFL history his first 3 years.Hes only going to get better. And you can talk about F tagging all day long but it doesn't guarantee any security for RW against injury.

At least 25 teams in this league would drop their starter like a hot potato if Wilson ever hit the market, probably more.

JS is embarrassing himself dragging this out.

It's pretty hard for me to comment on a process of which I am not privy to the details on. It would have been nice to have gotten a deal done with Russell before Tannehill and Newton signed, but so be it. I'm certainly not going to join you in ripping JS just because the pace of the negotiations aren't as we would like them.

It sounds like the Colts aren't re-doing Luck's contract until next season so there's no urgency to get in ahead of another team/quarterback as I don't think there are active negotiations going on with anyone else's franchise QB that would have an impact on Russell's market value.

Which is simply another way of saying there are 25 teams in the league without the ability to be smart about a contract that can destroy or enhance the ability to be a SB quality team for the next decade. Nothing more.

[jshawaii22]

And I supposed their is no way that it's Wilson's camp that is 'dragging this thing out'? Why blame JS? How do you know? We don't know ANYTHING that has happened behind closed doors. To assume the 'blame' -- all 4 months of the window (Feb through May) is all on the team... you don't understand what a negotiation is.

By the way, this is being done to help the complete team. Every $1 m given to Wilson is 1m of good, decent other players, FA's, etc that we aren't going to be able to sign down the road.

[HumanCockroach]

"The Seahawks reminded the rep that rookie wage rules housed in the collective bargaining agreement forbid them from restructuring Wilson's contract until after the third year."

Hmm its after his 3rd year

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... w-contract

So yeah they can they just do not want to because they want 1 more year of the steal that is Wilson, and they have said they do not renegotiate or change exiting contracts unless you name is Lynch obviously

And nowhere there does it say anything about tearing up his final year, not one place. It talks about the fact they could not discuss an extension, or changing his contract until after year three, but whatever. Sherman, Earl, Chancellor, Wright ALL were handled the SAME way, but because Lynch had money moved forward ( money he was already guaranteed, and was going to be paid regardless) we are all supposed to be up in arms? LMFAO.

Wilson WILL get extended, the Seahawks just are NOT going to dismantle the team to do it. If you want a team that values the QB and his weapons only, might I recommend switching fandom to another team, perhaps Detroit is more your style, GB, SF shortly could be a viable option, Philly loves offense though apparently not QBS, or Hell the Boys are always looking for Romo supporters, plenty of teams to choose from.

Forbid them from RESTRUCTURING until after his 3rd year. Not discuss RESTRUCTURE. As to the rest of your post whatever I made my point you do not want to admit that that is your deal. FYI

"Lynch signed a two-year extension with the Seahawks on Friday that keeps him under contract with Seattle through the 2017 season, but more importantly includes a massive raise for the 2015 season. Lynch’s restructured deal will pay him $12 million for 2015, according to his agent Doug Hendrickson.

Lynch agreed to his new deal Friday after meeting with Seahawks officials. Hendrickson said the deal includes an additional $24 million for the 2016 and 2017 seasons should Lynch continue his career into his 30s."

Hmm so he threated to hold out they gave in despite him having a year left and not only gave him 2 more years but restructured it so he could get more in 2015. HMM Seems like they did what some say sWilson wants and as I showed they can do but do not want to, After all Wilson is not Lynch.

The more you keep denying what is happening the more info I find showing it is.

[mykc14]

Ok Anthony you've lost me. Are you talking about them extending lynch this offseason? So they redid lynch's deal when he had 1 year left, right? Wilson has 1 year left, right? If the hawks re-sign him this offseason they will have done the same thing for Wilson that they did for lynch (and Clemons, kam, Sherman, ET, etc) right? So what the f are you arguing? Wait until they don't resign him this offseason (that's a big 'if' in my book but seems like a guarantee to you) before you start whining about how the FO took care of lynch with 1 year left but won't do it for Wilson. THEY STILL CAN! Again explain how you can justify praising the colts for surrounding luck with talent this offseason but criticize the hawks for giving Wilson more talent. Doesn't make much sense. Here's the bottom line: can the hawks still resign him before the F-tag even needs to be discussed? As long as the answer to that is 'yes' then there is nothing to worry about, i.e. If this gets into next season I might start getting concerned. Until then all you are doing is worrying about what might happen if 4 other things don't happen first.

If you want a team that values the QB and his weapons only, might I recommend switching fandom to another team, perhaps Detroit is more your style, GB, SF shortly could be a viable option, Philly loves offense though apparently not QBS, or Hell the Boys are always looking for Romo supporters, plenty of teams to choose from.

Doesn't sound like a statement from someone who truly understands the value of Russell Wilson to this franchise or his overall value as the most versatile QB in the league.Pay him now...

Ok Anthony you've lost me. Are you talking about them extending lynch this offseason? So they redid lynch's deal when he had 1 year left, right? Wilson has 1 year left, right? If the hawks re-sign him this offseason they will have done the same thing for Wilson that they did for lynch (and Clemons, kam, Sherman, ET, etc) right? So what the f are you arguing? Wait until they don't resign him this offseason (that's a big 'if' in my book but seems like a guarantee to you) before you start whining about how the FO took care of lynch with 1 year left but won't do it for Wilson. THEY STILL CAN! Again explain how you can justify praising the colts for surrounding luck with talent this offseason but criticize the hawks for giving Wilson more talent. Doesn't make much sense. Here's the bottom line: can the hawks still resign him before the F-tag even needs to be discussed? As long as the answer to that is 'yes' then there is nothing to worry about, i.e. If this gets into next season I might start getting concerned. Until then all you are doing is worrying about what might happen if 4 other things don't happen first.

NO they will not when the resigned Lynch he still had 1 year left and not only did they extend lynch 2 ore years but they gave him more money in 2015 which he was already signed for. SO they not only gave him a new deal but changed the deal he was on. Which is what they are now saying they will not do for Wilson. Kam, Sherman, and Et were done before the redid Lynch's deal so that is not relevant. LEt me try this one more time

""Lynch signed a two-year extension with the Seahawks on Friday that keeps him under contract with Seattle through the 2017 season, but more importantly includes a massive raise for the 2015 season. Lynch’s restructured deal will pay him $12 million for 2015, according to his agent Doug Hendrickson."

See the part were not only did they extend Lynch while he had 1 more year left but they also restructured that5 year so he got more, after of course Lynch held out, threatened to retire etc etc. Now that Wilson has completed 3 years they can do the same for him but have said they will not. FYI I never criticized the Hawks for giving Wilson more talent not even sure were you are getting that from. so again I made it pretty clear what I am talking about and it is supported by facts.
