As a thank you to his offensive linemen in the wake of signing a contract last week making him the highest-paid player in the NFL, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson recently gave each of the team’s 13 offensive linemen $12,000 in Amazon.com stock.
TMZ Sports reported it first on Monday, publishing a letter that Wilson sent to each of the offensive linemen explaining the gift.
“Every Sunday we go to battle together,” Wilson wrote as reported by TMZ. “… You sacrifice your physical and mental well-being to protect me, which in turn allows me to provide and care for my family.
