Here's where the salary cap numbers have been in the recent past and what they would need to be over the next two years to come up with your $56 million (based on QB's 13% of total)sarktastic said:I drove a lot this weekend and heard a few 'experts' on the radio come up with the $56m number as follows: 1.5, 25 then 30 based upon expected cap increases.
Going this route makes a lot of sense if he wants out of Seattle... which he might three years from now after Carroll retires???
2012 - $121 million (actual)
2013 - $123 million (actual)
2014 - $133 million (actual)
2015 - $143 million (actual)
2016 - $192 million
2017 - $231 million
Looks to me like those "experts" have their heads' buried up there arse. From what I've read, 2016 will be around $160 million, 2017 around $175 million. That makes Wilson's "FREE THE SLAVE" money grab for the next 3 years just south of $46 million. Based on my learning, $63 million is more than $46 million.
Even with your "expert's projections, I think $63 million is more than $56 million. But I was no math major, so I may be mistaken. -
I'm sure those experts have their heads far up their asses, agreed.
They're just getting paid well for it, unlike you and me. -
They are only getting paid because dumbshit lemmings believe the crap they spew, as opposed to digging a bit to get to the facts.

First off, its the only topic in the NFL... for those tiring of Brady's balls. It's timely in Seattle, too for some odd reason.
Rusty wants out. LA pays much more in endorsements and has a bigger voter base for him to launch his political career. If you can't see that, you're the idiot.

FYI, it's far from the only topic in the NFL right now. Perhaps that's true for the 12s, but for actual NFL fans, not even close.
I'm thinking @DerekJohnson has it right. This is a game of chicken, and I hope the Hawks stick to their guns. $21 million/year for Wilson, erasing this upcoming year, is about where the offer should be. Sticking to his guns will cost Wilson $10 million+. IMO, Hawks have leverage.
To pile on a bit, I looked at ESPN, CBS, Yahoo and SI's NFL sites. Between the 4 of them, there are over 40 top stories. Not one of them mentioned Russell Wilson. -
It was the only topic in the NFL for 600fucking miles on the radio this weekend... and of course Brady's balls.
Wilson is printing money every single day this topic leads. He'll print even more if he plays out this season at 1.5. Stop worrying. Rusty gonna eat. -
He's fighting for the biggest contract he can get. That doesn't mean he wants out.sarktastic said:

81% chance he signs this week.

The third franchise year (2018) would be approximately $43.5 M, which would put him at just over $100M for four years (including $1.5M this season).
If the Seahawks let him walk after 2017, then he will only need a deal paying him a combined $46M for '18 and '19 to equal what the Seahawks are currently offering.
