While he's a good player, you could argue if he wants a huge deal they'd be smart to walk away. With that team a ton of QB's could win, they've won with him doing nothing in a lot of games.

Joe Flacco's stats the year he won the SB and then signed his new deal:

Completion% - 59.7
Yards - 3817
TDs - 22
INTs- 10
Rating - 87.7

Russell Wilson's stats the year he won the SB:

Completion% - 63.1
Yards - 3357
TDs - 26
INTs - 9
Rating - 101.2

Good for Sherman. Guy is straight legit.

Problem is they are going to have to pay a bunch of other guys or let them walk.

Paying a CB like a QB

Jesus.

Not very smart IMO.

They've got a year or two they can pay the stars and fill in with young role players elsewhere. If it works they can compete for SB for a couple more years before it crashes and they have to gut and regroup. If I'm their situation, and Denver is very similar just a different mix of stars, I do the very same thing.

14.3 million a year....wow

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.


This here makes the most sense. They've just got a bunch of guys that get the job done. Bout that action, boss.

I want to say, prior to ET and RS getting these deals, Harvin was the only guy on their team making over $10 a year..? Someone will have to verify but I think I'm right.

Richard Sherman's '14 cap number is $3.631M. It's $12.2M in 15. His '16, '17 & '18 cap numbers are $14.769M, $13.631M & $13.2M.

People underestimate just how much Wilson does when the pressure is on.

He's not putting up big numbers, but he makes plays when plays need to be made, and that is what separates SB winning QBs from SB watching QBs.

Replacing that is far more dificult than you think it is.

This.

Thank you, milkman. You get it. You just get it.

I'm so tired of arguing with mother****ers on this board about how good Wilson actually is..

Interesting. Without seeing the bonuses and guarantees broken down, that looks like a short-term deal. Free up cap space now and make him expendable after year 3.
