I think he's talking about the yearly average

They seem close to we plebs who don't even make $1 million let alone $110 million, but they are almost $25 million apart.

And Rodgers would be getting plenty more if he were on the market today.

And while we are discussing peers, Brady is playing at a discount or he would too.

And Wilson, obviously, is not in the same class as these guys.

It's $23 million richer because it's a year longer. Wilson is getting paid $23 million a year, so the only real difference is the extra year.

You're arguing about nothing.

The yearly average of the two's contracts is nearly identical. Russell Wilson's is "just a hair" below Rodger's.

There's no question about the present value of the two, which is not close, and the contracts wouldn't be close either if negotiated today.

Wilson isn't the highest paid player in the game, nor did he get $25 million per year, yet people like Hootie are proclaiming "Victory" because he smartly re-signed with Seattle for a reasonable 2015 and beyond contract.

Chiefsplanet, don't go changin'.

I heard Russell has 60m guaranteed and 31m signing bonus.

So....

Their 2 drafts since drafting Russell Wilson have been well below average.

And they had 20 draft picks between those 2 drafts.

No one said they would be.

Again, you're arguing about nothing.

What's most hilarious about this thread is that Wilson is now under contract with Seattle until the end of the 2019 season, making it a five year deal, not four.

If he sees every penny of this $87.5 million dollar deal, it'll average $17.5 million per.

That's a little different than $25 million per, except if you have remedial math skills like Hootie.

Only look at guaranteed money ... Unless you're Dane"footinmymouth"McCloud. Then, look at the extra year and extra money!

Those are the perks of signing someone to an extension. The player doesn't have to play for peanuts in the final year of his original contract and the team gets to spread out the cap hit/cost over more years.

Dane doesn't understand how to handle being wrong, which is odd, because it happens so frequently

Russel Wilson and Friends agree to deal.
 

Generally speaking, you don't want your young, ascending superstars in a contract year, particularly a QB, because then they've REALLY got you by the balls.

whats his cap hit this year?
