Report: Russell Wilson rep asked for new contract

[Doyle]

My guess is Kapernick is also grossly underpaid at this point. No idea what he makes, but I will go on assumption here.

Potentially the lowest paid Superbowl winning QB ever.

Cook has been an agent for a long time, He wouldn't make a rookie mistake like that.

He's also Cam's agent and he didn't ask for a new contract for him yet.

Wilson was a beast at Wisconsin, and he was a beast for Seattle this season. I'm happy to see him out there shining. He does deserve a raise, but the new CBA doesn't allow that so it is what it is. He'll be getting a nice 2nd contract though

Why would they ask for a new deal knowing it goes against NFL rules

I think every comment I ever left on PFT got deleted. LOL

Dude's a swagger jacker

Same here. Florio is such a little weasel

[tiger7_88]

Why do people go out if their way to be butt hurt about something not said about Cam? It's really weird.

For the same reasons people go out of their way to be butt hurt about something made to be about Cam but wasn't? That's really obsessive.

Russell Wilson to me: "I speak for myself. I never demanded or asked for a restructured contract." More in my Tues column.

3 million dollars is what Wilson will make compare that to what his back up is making, yes it's criminal

If I were Wilson I would ask the seahawks to get rid of that overpaid backup and give me some WRs instead.

Wilson was not drafted in the first and his contract can not be redone until his 4th year is up. That is the way the new system works for the rookies now. Wilson has proven to be a good QB. But he was drafted in a later round and started out as a back up in preseason. It's not like everyone knew he was going to be that good. But his pay day will come in a few years if he keeps playing the way he is. I like the new rookie scale system. It makes the rookies earn their money for change and not be given 50 million contract for what they did in college. If he is truly good. He will be good 3 years from now to earn that pay day. So he and his agent need to stop whining and go to work.

this. Plus, he can do subway commercials.

you beat me to it

If I were Wilson I would ask the seahawks to get rid of that overpaid backup and give me some WRs instead.

totally agree. we don't need Flynn on the sideline for all those $$$. People forget, he's essentially a rookie too, a rookie with lots of sideline experience!!

I'm hoping Hasselbeck comes back to Seattle to carry the clipboard and run the victory formation offense in 2013!
