Basically says that keeping the legion of boom in tact is more important than Wilson. Wonder if Gettleman would do the same for Cam. These QB contracts are crazy and are crippling their teams. Despite what many on here believe, Cam isn't close to being an elite QB, but he wants elite QB money. oh well, flame on.

He is right

to the Seattle GM. Quit playing.

You can't compare RW to Cam.  RW has largely been a game manager during his NFL career while on the other hand, Cam has largely been asked to BE our offense.

Difference is Cam has always been asked to carry our offense and has done so. Lynch carries their offense.

Ohhhh boy. Been there done that.

[Jase]

He can come here and be cam's backup!

Definitely surprised Wilson and Seattle are both negotiating through the media. I mean he's definitely bluffing and Wilson is going to get paid, but I've got my popcorn ready if this turns ugly.

Franchise qbs are a whole lot more expensive than they use to be.

A Moneyball approach might mess with some your minds but the successful franchises in all sports look for the non obvious factor to wins and cash flow.

Where are all these people who claim that Cam is an elite quarterback right now?

 

I don't see the Seahawks letting Wilson go, it's all bluffing.

[Ornias]

Look at Baltimore's roster after Flacco signed his contract. They will get a deal done, but I imagine they are 5-10 million a year apart at this point.

Tough to do it in football.  The QB position in and of itself is so much more important than any other position in the major team sports.

[Growl]

Wilson is really hard to gauge. He has been good but he is also a massive beneficiary of the talent pool around him and I don't care who wants to dispute it. It's a fact.

Watch Wilson sign for vet minimum right after Can signs a record NFL deal.
