For Hawks fans, I think the real question is if it is structured similarly to Kaps, what does that mean for Wilson? Does he follow the trend of Kap and Dalton, or does that ring push him into the more traditional (and back breaking) QB contracts we see with Brees, Romo, Cutler, Flacco, Stafford, Peyton, Brady, Manning?
Updating a previous item, the actual value of Andy Dalton's six-year extension is $96 million with a $12 million signing bonus.
He also gets a $5 million roster bonus in three days. The guaranteed money is just $17 million -- the roster bonus and Dalton's signing bonus. Dalton was already under contract for a little over $1 million this year, so across seven seasons the base value of his new contract is essentially $97.09 million -- $13.87 million annually. Dalton can earn another $19 million through escalators, per PFT. People, on Twitter, at least, freaked out about the initially-reported worth, but this is going to end up being a front-loaded, team-friendly deal.

They have done well the past few years in building their team. I don't think this deal is crap crippling and if they change position on Dalton in a year or so, they could get from underneath the deal with no major issues.
How it impacts Wilson potentially getting a deal next year is not something I can say I can gauge. Looking at what was posted earlier in this thread, ~$14M/yr over the next 7 for Dalton, counting the $1M he was set to earn this year makes it a deal that could keep Wilson under $20M average for the life of his upcoming contract. We will find out in about 12 months or so.
