RENTON, Wash. -- When Russell Wilson and his representatives started negotiations with the Seattle Seahawks on a contract extension, they were looking far beyond five more seasons.
Having turned 30 late last season, Wilson tried to project into the next decade and the chances of playing his entire career with one team.
"The next deal was going to be the place where, `Hey, if we're going to be in Seattle, wherever it's going to be, I want to make sure that's where I'm going to be for the next 10-12 years hopefully," Wilson said Wednesday, a day after signing the $140 million, four-year contract extension that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
