WATCH: Will Russell Wilson get his contract extension?

Is Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson going to get what he wants on April 15? That’s the deadline he set for the organization to settle on a long-term contract extension.

According to reports from several NFL insiders, Wilson is not seeking a specific salary number, but a percentage of the team’s salary cap. That means his income would increase as the team cap increases.

That’s not a simple request for the Seahawks to fulfill as it sets a precedent they can’t go back on. But can they live with trading away Wilson instead? Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
