Edit - misread the OP. So,

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.
