The Seahawks and Russell Wilson's agent Mark Rodgers agreed to the perimeters of a contract extension at about 11 pm PT Thursday night, literally and figuratively the "11th hour" for their soft deadline of midnight. According to Rodgers, the key point in negotiations was the length of the deal, and when the Seahawks agreed to a four-year extension (as opposed to the standard five-year deal that many quarterbacks get), it was relatively smooth sailing from there.
After it was all said and done, the agreement states that Wilson will receive $87.6 million over four years, a new-money APY of $21.
