Article on CBS Sports:

Whoa! There's a buzz flying around Twitter at the moment starting with an article from Jason LaConfora regarding Russell Wilson not extending this offseason and playing out his rookie contract and essentially pushing the salary cap hammer of having to pay a franchise QB back a year.
This is the first I've heard of it but apparently others are saying they thought this may happen as well. Several things come to mind with this:
1. RW is TRULY all about the team and winning if he's willing to do this. Moreso than anyone else to date in my opinion.
2. If this happens, we absolutely HAVE to lock up Wagner now so we have the franchise tag next year if we have to use it on RW.
3. This free's up a TON of cap room for this year and even next year if this happens. Next year because year 1 on QB contracts usually have low cap hits.
4. This may open the possibility of going after a big name FA.
Also in the article, he thinks the extension with Lynch is "close" and will get done.
