Russell Wilson Wants Out Of Seattle?
6 years agoThe Seattle Seahawks think that quarterback Russell Wilson wants to play elsewhere, according to a league source. They also think that it'll cause Wilson to drive a harder bargain when it comes to a potential long-term extension. Wilson has set a deadline of Monday, April 15, to come to an agreement on an extension. Seattle can keep him for a base salary of $17 million this year, but Wilson may decide to stay on the franchise tag for around $30 million in 2020. Seattle could also elect to trade Wilson at some point. Seattle ran the ball more than any other team in 2018, but Wilson was still excellent as a passer and will remain a QB1 if he stays with the Seahawks.
