ESPN's Terry Blount reports the Seahawks are "very close" to a contract extension for Russell Wilson.

"From what I've been told they're very close, they're just trying to make sure every single thing is in place," Blount said. "It's going to be bigger and crazier and different from what any contract has ever been." There's been speculation Wilson could give the Seahawks a hometown discount if his deal is fully guaranteed. The Seahawks want Wilson to take less money in exchange for financial stability. Seattle currently has $14.2 million in salary-cap space.

If I'm Seattle I say: FULLY guaranteed UNLESS you throw an interception on the one yard line and cost us a Super Bowl. At that point you pay it all back.

Can't wait. Bury those cockroaches. They give Isiah Thomas Michael Jordan money while we give MJ Isiah money. At least for now. I hope.

I have a feeling his contract is going to change up the game. Win/win situation. Good luck to him.

Here we go.. The minute he signs.. watch the Hawks Crater back to earth.

I'm with you on this one. I'm hoping more guaranteed=better for the team.

I would love for cam to get a 4 year, 60 million dollar contract fully guaranteed. I doubt it will happen though.

I'm hoping for something like that too. Yet another pipe dream I have.

That'd be great for all involved IMO.

Seahawks will still be competitive for the next few seasons- even with Wilsons contract. they just have too much talent

The only thing that really scares me about the fully guaranteed contract is how much you have to bank on your player remaining healthy. If cam got a 5 yr/ 80 mil full guaranteed contract and suffered a career ending injury, then what do you do? The team is severely hampered with the cap for the next 4 years with all that dead money. I like the possibility of getting him signed cheaper for all guaranteed cash, but that is just scary if it goes wrong.

That moment when the real world catches up to the Madden world.

I understand the concern, but I'd still take that over the know and of cap killer contract some teams are dishing out these days.
