New deal allows Seahawks’ Russell Wilson a chance to become greatest athlete in Seattle sports history

The Russell Wilson question now takes a dramatic shift.

The quarterback and the Seahawks agreed to a contract extension late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. The unseemly part is over – the endless debate about guaranteed money and percentage of the salary cap and how much Wilson really wanted to be in Seattle. They hashed all that out, as was always nearly inevitable despite the tumult, and announced a new deal while the sane world was fast asleep.

Now it becomes about legacy, and what has the potential to be one as decorated and eternal as any in Seattle sports history.
