Quarterback Russell Wilson has given the Seattle Seahawks until April 15 to offer him a new contract to his liking.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times has reported that news of Wilson's deadline this week "doesn't appear to have—as [of] yet, anyway—resulted in any significant breakthrough in negotiations," with one NFL source telling Condotta on Friday that "very little progress" is being made between the two sides.
More context from Condotta:
"Wilson's camp knows that the franchise tag is a far more realistic possibility than last time, while the Seahawks know Wilson has more leverage this time than in 2015, when he had yet to make really substantial money and it was clear he was going to want to not play hardball too much to assure he got a life-making contract before setting foot on the field again in 2015.
