The Seattle Seahawks could give quarterback Russell Wilson a huge contract extension in the near future. Many around the NFL are concerned that the Seahawks could give Wilson a guaranteed deal — causing hell to break lose around the NFL.
Jason Cole of Bleacher Reports explains more.
Several people with knowledge of the Seahawks/ Wilson dynamic believe it’s truly possible the quarterbacks entire contract could be guaranteed.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday’s edition of NFL Total Access that Wilson might have earned a deal with terms previously unseen at the quarterback position.
“According to the people I’ve spoken to, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Russell Wilson will receive the first fully guaranteed contract extension for a quarterback — something that is a rarity in the NFL — not a rarity, it does not happen,” Rapoport said. “It simply does not happen, but in this case it really might happen and (Seahawks general manager) John Schneider has talked about it in the past, an uncoventional type of contract.”
