Russell Wilson is in line for an extension and a big fat raise from the Seattle Seahawks a year from now.
We're probably talking north of $30 million per season.
That's the takeaway from the two recent mega deals that have reshaped the top of the NFL's quarterback market. The San Francisco 49ers gave Jimmy Garoppolo a record five-year, $137.5 million contract a week after Alex Smith got $94 million over four years from the Washington Redskins. Those deals push Wilson two spots down the pecking order of the league's highest-paid quarterbacks in terms of annual average.
