everyone does realize that Aaron Rodgers 5 year $110M deal was also an extension, right? Right? Anyone? Anyone?
It's guaranteed money. Russ gets a bunch of guaranteed money, up front. He essentially bet on himself while also guaranteeing himself a lifetime of money. Now, come 2018, if he's a top 3 QB in the NFL (which I think he will be), Seattle is going to have to extend him, AGAIN, towards his age 30 season. Then he'll get a MONSTER ****ing contract ... whereas, Rodgers won't be able to do that.
There is no way Wilson ever plays 2019 at that number. It simple WILL not happen. He'll either be long gone, or extended in 2018. That's how it works.
So in 2018, when he's a top 3 NFL QB, he'll probably get something like 5 years, $130M extension with inflation at like $90M guaranteed.
