Fantasy Football Russel Wilson and Friends agree to deal.

There is nobody in the world who would have taken a comment about a new contract to have included the last year of the current deal. Anyone pretending otherwise is flat out lying. The new contract/extension/whatever talk was 100% in reference to additional years and additional money beyond the current contract. He got four additional years. He's getting 88 million additional dollars. That's $22,000,000 per year for four years. Hootie guessed $22,000,000 per year for five years. If anything, that would have been a better deal for Seattle because adding a fifth year to the contract would have been the most expensive year and likely would have made the extension more like 5/$115,000,000.

So this is just another "close, but not EXACTLY spot on" ripping of a contract prediction?

Feh...

I could see a trade if it happened before the draft...

dude, Russell Wilson was NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER going to be traded. They could have offered two drafts for the guy and Seattle still would have said no.

It was typical negotiation bullshit by both sides.

You know, the same kind of thing that happened with us and Houston.

Only ... we're talking franchise QB here. Franchise QB's don't get traded. It's not possible. It was never a realistic scenario. Hilariously, we had a conglomerate of folk who wouldn't give up two 1st round picks for the guy. You know, a franchise that hasn't had a franchise QB since Len Dawson.

Smart fan base.

I'd agree and be sure to sign him if it were my team.

People forget that Brady was a game manager his first 3 years. They won 5 playoff games by 7 pts or less.

EVEN LAST YEAR Brady threw for 11ty billion yards in the SB and won by how many pts?...

Who cares what someone assumes what a five year deal WOULD been?

You were also 50 MILLION off in guaranteed money, which you were sure crowning about earlier.

And his ****ing deal is a 5 year 89.5 million dollar deal. This year isn't even the same as it was going to be money-wise, base or cap hit.

They tore up his old deal and made a new 5 year deal. He was going to make 1.5 million, now it is 700k with a 6.something cap hit.
