YoloinOhio Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 He's also "already" 26. He wants the biggest payday he can. He wants 25 mill/yr, I heard. They are hoping for 18-19 mill/yr. They could wait, and tag him next year if needed.
Beef Jerky Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I just once want a young elite QB go "nah I will just see what I get on the market." Then the Bills scoop them up of course... Edited April 17, 2015 by Beef Jerky
ddaryl Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I just once want a young elite QB go "nah I will just see what I get on the market." Then the Bills scoop them up of course... Â Â they would be franchised and traded before they hit the market

John from Riverside Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 it is interesting that they basically followed the same model we are trying to follow  - Cheap QB contract - Money went into everything else AROUND the QB
ko12010 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 it is interesting that they basically followed the same model we are trying to follow  - Cheap QB contract - Money went into everything else AROUND the QB It's just hard for it not to blow up when the QB performs as hoped and then is finishing that cheap rookie contract.
Juice_32 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Nah...they'll franchise him at worst. This^^^ Â Young, healthy, top 10 QB's dont change teams. Not in today's NFL.

Buftex Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's wallet > Pegs... Paul Allen's salary cap = Pegs...
RyanC883 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah, but if we get Wilson in FA, we will be blasted again next draft for not taking a QB
Lurker Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's salary cap = Pegs... They're not going to lose a franchise QB because of accounting considerations. They'll move $$$ around, just like all teams do...
CountDorkula Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's salary cap = Pegs... Â They have a chit ton of cap space next year. $111MM used for 2016 currently without restructures on what will be probably a $160MM cap. They will be fine. He will sign for about $20-25MM per.
Retsel Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Paul Allen's bank account is 100 times bigger than Pegs. But it does not matter because the cap only allows you to spend so much Edited May 8, 2015 by Retsel
mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 The odds on the Bills getting RW is 0%, 0%. Please give me a break.
Retsel Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's net worth is about 5 times that of the Pegulas
Jauronimo Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Russel Wilson is going to get paid like Rodgers, Brady, Manning and I don't think he's even remotely in the same class. Part of the Squawks success has been their ability to build a dominant defense and incredible running game since they weren't burdened with the type of salary an elite QB commands. I think backing up the truck for Wilson will be the beginning of their descent back to the middle of the pack as less resources are available to sustain that D.

They want to pay him "like a more highly skilled version of Andy Dalton."
Dorkington Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Someone will pay him top dollar, and the Seahawks will need to match, otherwise they're back to square one.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 He will get around $20mil a year when it is all said and done. Seattle is a good organization. You do not let talent walk. They figured out Marshawn's contract. They will figure out Wilson's as well.
