Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson makes quite a bit of money. In fact, he accounts for a little over 13 percent of the cap space Seattle has in 2019. He is the highest paid quarterback in the NFL currently. In the next four years, Wilson’s cap hit will only grow for Seattle. But Wilson is not overpaid so he will not be on this list.
Why do I say Wilson isn’t overpaid? Simply because the position he plays is valued much higher than any other position in the NFL. Wilson might be the highest paid quarterback now, but most likely by the beginning of next season he will rank third or fourth.
