10 seems low to be. I have him at a hard 7. But I agree with the rest of your post

Are the guys I'd still have above him. A lot of these guys are up there in age. Wilson will
Be top 5. It's only a matter of time.

I'd take Wilson over Romo,Rivers & Ryan as of now.

Ryan I could see. The other two, not yet. Romo was incredible last season. I can't stand the Cowboys, but he is criminally underrated. Regardless of where we have him ranked, we agree he is a top 10 quarterback that will likely end up into that elite category. You pay a player of the caliber what the market says he should get paid. All but a select few teams would kill to have Wilson.

Vision and contract management is what separates organizations like the Patriots/Packers and those like the Seahawks.

You clearly don't know how this contract is laid out. The Seahawks actually came out ahead in this deal.

What are you talking about?

On the surface this contract puts Wilson in the Rodgers neighborhood. But if you look closer he's more in the neighborhood of Jay Cutler's contract.

Overpaid.

I'm glad though. Let them keep Wilson and start having to lose depth.

How's your math? Wilson goes from a $7 Mil cap hit to an $18.5 hit. Meaning, as most agree, they'll have about 14 mil. to work with in 2016.

Notable players who's contract expire:
Russell Okung
Bobby Wagner
Bruce Irvin
Lemuel Jeanpierre
Jermaine Kearse
Brandon Mebane
Tony McDaniel
Alvin Bailey
J.R. Sweezy

That list includes their entire starting offensive line..

Not to mention Kam Chancellor is in hold out right now.

In 2016 and 2017 his base contract will be more than Rodgers'

Aaron Rodgers is vastly underpaid more than Russell Wilson is overpaid IMO. Rodgers should be making $30-35 million a year.


I'd agree with that line of thought.

Honestly, that's what QB's who can win a Super Bowl cost. Right or wrong, that's the market. You either opt out or pay the man.

Must be nice to ride the coattails of your super talented team around you and make that much undeserved money. Here's a trivia; true or false, Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr threw more touchdowns than Russell Wilson?

So the is he Big Ben or is he Tom Brady debate-- because those are the only two real parallels for his early career success and frankly his statistics are better than either of there's were in the same time frame.

That's really not a bank busting deal considering the increase in salary cap over the next few years.

Me either. He's an exciting player to watch. For some reason people blow as gasket when you put him in the top 10.
He just got a freaking Jake Locker comparison


For all the crap he gets people should really look at his WR corp- other than a half season of Percy has had a single even top 30 WR or TE is his time with the Seahawks?

Who are you positing as the team with vision here- I mean the Seahawks have since Pete Carroll took over been a better organization than the Packers and arguably equal to the Pats.

He did throw 21 TDs to Wilson's 20. He also threw 5 more INTs and ran for 92 yards and 0 TDs to Wilson's 849 and 6 TDs....
