Seahawks offer Wilson a deal in the range of Cam Newton's

I love that the Panthers already have Cam locked up.  Gettleman is doing WORK.  Seattle might lose Wilson at this rate.  

The Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson don't appear to be close on a contract extension, but apparently there is at least one offer on the table.

Seattle has offered their quarterback a deal in the range of Cam Newton's recent extension, according to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports. That's something Wilson isn't willing to accept.

Oooooohhh, this could get interesting.

It already is.  It could mean a trainwreck season for the Seahawks, distracted by Wilson's contract extention and unsure if their franchise QB will be there next season.  I'm loving this.  Meanwhile the Panthers have their franchise QB locked up and are ready to make a run.

@ProFootballTalk Hearing from folks since posting latest Russell Wilson blurb. Current prediction: He's playing for someone else in 2016.

 

Well that escalated

They can still franchise him.  But they either ridiculously overpay with the exclusive tag or simply overpay with the non-exclusive, giving other teams a chance for two first rounders and an offer the Hawks couldn't match.  Not to mention zero long term stability. I LOVE it.

Wanna REALLY turn the screws?  Sign Luke NOW and piss off both Wagner and Wilson even more with zero way to satisfy both.  (Hell they can't satisfy one)

Go GMan go!!!!!

On another site a poster said RW was definitely worth more than Cam and that they were a 7 win team before he arrived and are now a 12 win team.  I argued the Panthers were a 2 win team (with wins over John Skelton and David Carr) and have averaged 8 post Cam, including the tie as a loss, not including the 2-14 the first two years in one score games lost by a rookie head coach in RR and the #27 D in 2011.  Win differential favors Cam.  Crickets after that.  Classic perception vs reality playing out before our very eyes in Cam/RW being selfish/team first.

what a turd burgler.  if he ACTUALLY thinks he's worth more than Cam to his team, MUCH LESS even remotely close to Rodgers money then he has legitimately went head first off the deep end, bought into his own hype machine.

Even funnier when Cam had an MVP type season and wins a SB while Seattle stumbles and Wilson has a down year... Gonna backfire in his face and lose money.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
