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.
