Report: Russell Wilson Gives Seahawks April 15 Deadline for New Contract

Russell Wilson gave the Seahawks a deadline of April 15th to complete negotiations for a new contract, according to the Seattle Times' Bob Condotta.

Wilson enters 2019 on the final year of his four-year, $87.6 million deal signed in July 2015. Seattle and Wilson "have had some negotiations in recent days," per Condotta.

The NC State and Wisconsin product is currently the 12th-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. He could play under the franchise tag in each of the next three seasons with a 2020 salary of just over $30 million under the tag.
