Oh My GAWD !!!! Russell tweets, whatever does he mean?

"Doubted me then. Doubt me now. All I know is the ‪#‎BestIsAhead‬ either way. Sleep if you want to..."

( mods, it woulda got lost in the Anthony show... my apologies )

"Sleep if you want to..."

Sounds like a record played backwards.

Yikes.

Is this a new "angrily motivated" DangeRuss? If so...Awesome.

His tweets really aren't too subtle anymore.

Earlier today:

Normally, I HATE when folks here try to interpret cryptic tweets, but this isn't really all that mysterious when you read these two together.

So the only way to be grateful and respectful to Russ is to saddle the team with his gigantic salary?

This is just the front office'$ way of pressing the right buttons. Remember # 3 talks to the teams sports psychologist often....I hope this gamble pays off with the greatest season by a qb of all time and will justify the money he wants...#all In#paythatman

To be fair, no one really knows what numbers are actually being thrown out there by both sides. It's possible that Seattle's offer IS insultingly low. For example, they did that to Tate and lost on that gamble. However, it's also possible that Russell's expectations are totally unreasonable if he's demanding a sum substantially above what anyone else is making.

Sounds pissed. Ok, Russ I ain't skeered because I live in Missouri. So how about you "show me?" Bring your best because if you do you'll get your money, but understand this, nothing but victory in February will do since you insist on the "Show Me" route.

It takes two to tango and in my opinion the real dance is just starting. Damned exciting to be a Seahawk fan right now.

I think RW went with the wrong agent, a baseball agent, that is new to the NFL contracts.

If he doesn't sign an extension before the 2015 season, he'll only make 1.5 million for the 2015 season, and then be franchised for the next 2 years if still no deal is reached. This agent is costing him money as soon as this upcoming year if no extension is reached.

I hope he has his old agent on speed dial.

This is nothing like Irvin. Nothing

Why is everyone assuming this has something to do with his contract. Russ probably got a lot of crap from people saying he was just average after the super bowl.Also his last tweet is for Irvin clearly.

I'm 100% certain that earlier tweet is from Russ directed at Irvin.

SHOTS FIRED. I'll take Russ

I get it, it's a long off season, everyone is bored. But that doesn't mean that everything players tweet about is related to football. I doubt these about his contract negotiations, that hasn't been his style.

Just like Backpack Rich's tweet yesterday had nothing to do with his injury but everyone was freaking out

"Doubted me then" can't reference the Seahawks. After all, we drafted him. They didn't doubt him when he was starting as a rookie.

I hate Twitter.

He posted a picture of "then" on his instagram.

There's a reason QB's are the highest paid players in the league: THEY'RE WORTH IT!!! 7-9 without RW. Same team one year later in the playoffs and now back to back Super Bowls.

Pay him. The cap is going up.

How much would it count against the cap if he's franchised for 2 years?
