If the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson are eventually going to find a middle ground and draw-up a contract that is amenable to both sides, the two parties have a huge monetary expanse to traverse … as in a speculated “10s of millions” of dollars.
710 ESPN Seattle’s Danny O’Neill paints a fairly convoluted picture regarding the ongoing contract negotiations between the Seahawks and Wilson, suggesting that the parties are so far apart it indicates they are no closer to coming to a mutually satisfying resolution anytime soon.
O’Neill sketches out the contractual impasse in a well-laid-out Q&A which specifically addresses how all indications point to the Seahawks’ standing offer to be in the four-year, $80 million range, well short of contracts recently doled out to franchise-caliber quarterbacks such as the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers.
