Russell Wilson is 2-9 when his defense gives up 24 or more points.
And he's had the best defense in football along with a top 5 rushing attack and a top 5 OL.
Paying him means multiple players who are top 10 at their position including Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, Brandon Mebane and Russell Okung will be gone.
They have $40.6 million in cap space for 2016 and I would say roughly $24 million of that will be eaten up by Wilson next season if/when he gets a new deal.
The Seahawks won't have an all world surrounding team in 2016, which means we'll see how good Russell truly is.
