I hope this happens...
Wow Russ is a team player only concerned with the hawks going to the Superbowl every year. So unselfish. Russ is smart he knows he can make more money with endorsements over the years if he reaches Michael Jordan status in the NFL with stats & rings.

Hawks make history with a contract like this being the 1st of its kind! Schneider is a genius,since this will allow him to finally surround his QB with WRs like Marshall or V.jackson,draft one of the top 5 WRs,draft a speed WR like Dorsett,Greene in the 2nd. Plus get Olinemen like Bulaga,newton,Pernell,free or O.franklin. With Baldwin in the slot where he will be better than edelman. = Lynch running vs 7-6 man fronts so he might want to play again

Then get DT like Melton,etc..

People mention Russ's 4 ints,without mentioning Peyton & brady's multiple 5 to 6 int games! They say Russ's defense,but don't mention Brady, big Ben,Peyton's defense...colts got 6 turnovers in the bowl,yet Peyton stunk with a 79.0 passer rating. While hawks def got only 5 TOs,yet Wilson was amazing with a 123.00 passer rate! Also Peyton has had 1st round WRs,TE,&RBs to make him good...but Wilson only has a RB,yet he has had the best 1st three years of any QB in history

Only the blind or ignorant says Wilson is only good because he has a star RB & great Def,without saying that Peyton is only good because of his star RBs,WRs,TEs,& defense. Right ?

"Super Schneider" struck gold with Wilson & can now surround him with a all star cast !

We can only hope .Go Hawks !!!

A 1/$15mil deal would not really help the Seahawks all that much. If he signs a long term deal, his year 1 cap hit would likely be under $8mil. A 1 year deal would mean equal cap hit ($15mil). It would be a massive concession on Russell's part, as he could command 80mil guaranteed, but I can't see this happening as it's not a huge benefit to the Seahawks cap situation.

Also, to the question about losing Russ in 2016 if he signed a 1 year deal, don't worry about it. Seattle could franchise him and avoid any chance of Russell hitting the market. Simply put, he's not going anywhere regardless of how this offseason plays out with his contract.

And real quick about endorsements.

NFL players don't make nearly has much off of them as many fans assume.

I guarantee you they will not tag him, if they did he would hold out till the cap was taken off and then be gone. Anyone who thinks they would tag him and it stand would be fooling himself.
