So with Colin Kaepernick just signing a 6 year $126 million deal with $60 million guaranteed I think we can safely say that the market is set. Probably less than one year from now Russell Wilson will be signing his contract extension. What do you believe that contract will look like?
My prediction: 6 years, $108 million, $72 million guaranteed. Average salary of $18 million per year.
Reasoning: Wilson continues to say over and over that his goal is to be the best quarterback in NFL history. This is what drives him. He knows that in order to be in that conversation he's going to need multiple Super Bowl victories. You can't get that done without a solid team no matter how good a quarterback you are. I think he will take less overall money, and more guaranteed money to free up the Seahawks options and allow them to keep the core of this team together for the long term. The guaranteed money is the most important thing anyways, not the overall value of the deal.
What does the rest of .NET think?
