“New money” has become one of the great fictions in the assessment of NFL contracts. But, you know, when in Rome.

For Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the headline is that he signed a four-year, $87.6 million extension, with a new-money average of $21.9 million. The truth is that the last year of his current contract, at a base salary of $1.542 million, has been ripped up and replaced with a new five-year, $89.1 million deal.

But since the average of the total five-year deal is $17.8 million, it won’t be characterized that way when it comes to deciding whose is bigger.

It's all there .


I didn't even look at the words written until Hootie pointed out that Wilson isn't under contract this year apparently... They crossed out this year on his last contract and (which the salary changed) then said he signed a 4 year contract that runs through 2019 which is 5 seasons from now.


It doesn't add up...
