SEATTLE -- NFL executives and agents say provocative things when asked about the next contract for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
"I see a big standoff coming."
"What are you really getting out of it right now by extending him?"
"I think they are going to be open to moving him."
"He is going to come in above [Aaron] Rodgers."
"Why would anybody get more than Rodgers? Why should anybody, straight-faced, make that argument?"
Wilson, 30, is putting together one of his finest statistical seasons, a leading reason Seattle is in the playoff hunt despite skepticism from preseason oddsmakers.
