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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
