"Overrated" -CP

Guaranteed?

Just a hair under Aaron Rodgers deal...

Only a 4-yr deal? Interesting. Smart move by Seattle.

smart move by russell.

60m guaranteed

Doesn't look like he got the 25 per he was supposedly asking for

How so?

4 years, can angle for another big deal whilst in his prime

Haha.

Kam holding out. They are running outta money

30 years old when the contract ends, so he will get at least one more huge payday, assuming his performance remains very good.

Seems like a smart deal for both sides. Seattle is doing an excellent job of locking up all its best players for the long haul.

Kam will report and play under his existing contract eventually, almost without doubt. He extended early, and for less, and now regrets it. Too bad for him but it's what he's got.

The next big one to deal with is Wagner.

Wish I was a Seahawks fan

Ah, true. I was looking at the team's POV. The contract expires before exiting his prime. In case things don't continue on the path they're on.

Nothing's stopping you

There's the door-----> http://images.footballfanatics.com/F...5_xl.jpg&w=400Don't let it hit you on the ass on your way out.

No question but that Schneider is doing a hell of a job. He really needs to win an executive of the year award.

Am I Mav or something? Let's go Chefs!

weird! Dane wrong again ... who woulda thought?

Gee! I really thought the Seahawks were going to let him get away ...

Oh wait. No I didn't. Because I'm not a ****ing moron.

Overpaid. He's not better than Alex Smith. / 60% of CP

interesting article on the 2016 Seahawk FA's.

http://sea.247sports.com/Bolt/Seattl...lance-38245143

A lot of starters on that team will be gone next year. Gotta think Dorsey will be looking to snatch one up.

I'd like to see Dane's thoughts on this?

Apparently the Hawks were gonna trade him for 2 picks, according to Dane, because he clearly wasn't worth the money ...

and then he signs for Aaron Rodgers money

Just super weird!

Dane?

Bobby Wagner just tweeted this. He gone.

@Bwagz54: Can't keep everyone

They were going to let him walk and then sign Matt Ryan after Atlanta declined to offer him a contract.

I'm just super shocked they didn't let a two time NFC Champion (in a 3 year career) test free agency. Shocked, I tell ya

Plus Kam wants a new contract.

There were going to be casualties as soon as they gave their QB a real contract.

Wagner's probably going to leave.

He is getting paid almost exactly like Alex Smith.

Seahawks better make this year count bc they are losing a lot of really good players in 2016.

FTFY

Shocking things are shocking.

I wish I was good at searching so I could laugh at Dane's comments on the Wilson extension, his thoughts on cutting Berry who had cancer, etc...

For knowing it all ... He uh, knows very little !

We all use this nifty little tool for all of our searches.

It's called Google. You should get one.

Edit - misread the OP. So,

Smith: 4 / $68, $18m bonus + $45m guaranteed ($17m avg)
Wilson: 4 / $87, $31m bonus + $60m guaranteed ($21.75m avg)

Wilson is the second highest paid QB in the league now.

Whether you think Wilson is as great as ESPN does or you think he's overrated, he's being overpaid compared to his peers. But Seattle has to factor in the cost and risk of replacing him, not just his quality as a franchise QB.

Pretty much everyone here thought Berry was done. I have tried to explain that he didn't have the same thing an elderly relative you may have saw struggle with cancer had, that Berry's was very treatable, but no one seemed to take notice. (I'm surprised he is back in pads this year vs next year but I thought he would be back) Dane's view was shared by almost everyone here, he wasn't sticking his neck out to be dumb.

Russel Wilson and Friends agree to deal.
 

Dane argued with me when I said the Bengals should think about moving on from Dalton if they don't win a playoff game this season.

Hypocrite.

4 of their 5 starting OL including Okung and Sweezy
Baldwin and Kearse
Irvin
Wagner
3 of their 4 DT's including Mebane
Lane

All these guys are as good as gone. Damn

I remember the heady days when CP was talking about self immolating if we took Okung.

No

31 million signing bonus vs 19
60 million guaranteed vs 45

A lot more money

As long as Seattle drafts well, I don't think it will.be as big of a deal to lose some of those guys

Wrong about what? Did Wilson get $25 million per?

No, he did not.

Also, ****bag, "Every ball" wasn't under-flated by a pound.

LMAO

You're such a ****ing moron.

Wonderful. Bring up quotes from 2 years ago.

STFU

BTW, what has Matt Ryan won since then?

LMAO

The Bengals are paying him $9.6 million this year, not $17, not $21.9.

Who are they going to get to replace Dalton at that price?

Tyler Bray

Exactly

But the 22 year old butt**** just said I'm a hypocrite?

LMAO

This forum gets dumber with each passing day.

Someone link me to the Russell thread about trading two picks for him please. Would like more laughs at Danes expense

More proof that you're a ****ing moron.

Did Wilson get $25 million per? No.

Now shut the **** up and get back to cleaning up the toilets.

Maybe the Seahawks had a 20% off coupon?

What he's getting paid this season is inconsequential. He is there starting QB for this season and probably 2016 no matter the outcome based on the way his contract is structured.

This year his cap hit is $9.6, next year it jumps to $13, then $14, and it keeps rising until the end of the contract. He's been surrounded by as much talent as any QB in the league on the both sides of the ball and he hasn't even been able to turn in one respectable playoff performance for it.

Ultimately, his situation isn't much different than Matt Ryan and the Falcon's.

Remember when everyone was freaking out about Alex Smith's contract? Yeah he's not making top 10 money until his last year, which he won't see.

Isn't Dalton structured like Kaepernick, like a 2 year and we'll see kinda thing?

LMAO

You're embarrassing yourself. JFC, between your whining and justifications about this, Donnie Avery and the new X-Men movie, I wonder if you've begun the transition to SheVirus.

I think the reason he got such a big contract, was because the Seahawks know that God speaks to Russel Wilson. I mean, he quite possibly is the second coming of the messiah.

Sort of. The dead money if they decide to cut him sometime during the last 4 years of the contract is pretty minimal and totally manageable.

I'm assuming the Bengals structured it that way for a reason.

Shouldn't be surprised about this. Have you guys looked around the league at some of the other qbs? There's alot of shit starting and it doesn't look to be getting a whole lot better

Yeah, it was very favorable to the team and contained a lot of money that he will never see unless he turns into a great passer.

"Just a hair"...?


Aaron Rodgers signed a 5 year, $110,000,000 contract with the Green Bay Packers, including a $33,250,000 signing bonus, $54,000,000 guaranteed


Both QBs are likely to see all this money. Rodgers' deal is $23 million richer and he signed it three years ago.

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?

I don't believe those details have been released yet

LMAO

There is no one that's wrong more frequently than you.

And he did not receive $25 million per nor $80 million guaranteed nor $110 million overall.

Shut the **** up, Hootie.

Yeah, Wilson just set a new standard for QB's.

:rolleyes:

but you are saying the bonus is spread out over more years because its an extension.


im not sure that true, he's still getting paid 1.5 million base this season by the looks of things

There seems to be confusion about the contract details. I've read that the total value is $87.5 million with $60 million guaranteed, which averages to $21.9 million per.

But I've also read that this four year extension is tacked on to his 2015 season, locking him up until 2019, not 2018.

If that's the case, it's $17.5 million per year.
