Seahawks GM hints he'll just let Wilson walk if he doesn't lower his demanded price.

[ctrcat]

Maybe so. We'll see. Hell, I hope you're right.

With that said, they aren't bringing him in to block. They're bringing him in as a legit #1 receiving threat and redzone target, two things they sorely lacked last year.

Jimmy in, pass. Jimmy out, run. Got it. No chance with Marshawn in the same huddle there'd be any chemistry issues either. No way. Bennett and Irvin have already called him out as being soft and overrated. Their own teammate for goodness sake. You'd have thought they learned something from the Harvin fiasco.

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

Except on 2nd and goal.

[Thorrez]

it's about time there's another huddle Wilson jelly thread!!!

I love the comments about how Wilson has better numbers because he has so many more weapons than your #1 pick...fug those make me laugh!!!

those incredible receivers like Jermaine Kearse and Riccardo Lockette...annual pro bowlers for sure!!!

No receivers...all their eggs in the run game basket and yet he's 4-0 against you in his young career...but only three of those were in your stadium!!!

The question is: Is the Seahawks still a sb, or even play off, team if Wilson eats $22-25M of the cap?

He is good and clearly worth in the $15M range, but if he demands to be the best payed ever it is the right call to let him walk. Your running have and d still makes you a play off team.

We are already paying premium for cam and like someone said without him we are the Jets. So we have no choice but to pay up. It had nothing to do with cam or Wilson being better, it is all about us not having the luxury of a back up option like you do.

I would also like to add that you are seeing the result of the expensive contracts they are paying the defense.  2 years ago, these guys were on cheap deals.  No longer.

 

Wilson is crazy if he thinks he is elite.  take away a good OL, Lynch, and he is running scared.

 

The GM is absolutely correct,  He could put Derrick Anderson under center and get similar results.

[Chimera]

sorry , you are right. still one play away from 2 and if you run the ball... the pt is the make up of the team.

Its only funny because you're making arguments that Wilson isn't just a game manager.

[Carolina Cajun]

Elite QB's don't stare down a receiver and throw too far in front in the biggest moment of his career.  RW is not worth the elite money he's demanding.

[B.BERSIN]

He's asking for ridiculous money.

Breaking up the band already?  Wilson is good.  His touch is almost uncanny, he's extremely elusive, and he is smart.  He's an important cog in the Seattle machine, that goes without saying.  He's also benefited from a very strong team around him and excellent playcalling (generally).

 

What will be interesting to see is if Seattle tones down the run first approach before or after he signs his mega deal where he becomes the focal point for the offense.  For most teams, they know they have to stop Lynch first before they can do much else because the play action game is killer for Wilson.  

 

If I'm Wilson, why break the team?  While everyone wants to to get paid, in Seattle, he can become a community corner stone and be something special both on an off the field.  Why destroy that for a few extra million you can make up in sponserships and good will?

 

I don't think this is a major thing.  Both sides will get things straightened out and move on together.  It just doesn't make sense to try to burn it all...

Can't disagree with the Huddle being jelly. 

 

I hope we finally beat the Seahawks in a big way this season. I've never been this frustrated since Micheal Vick on the Falcons. I mean I hope we just destroy them and run up the score. 

[MadHatter]

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.

 

Yep...one is a Superbowl winning QB, and the other has 1 season with a winning record.

[Matthias]

I wouldn't pay Wilson nada!

[MadHatter]

I wouldn't pay Wilson nada!

 

So you wouldn't pay him "nothing".....which means that you actually would pay him.

 

Gotcha.

It's frustrating, but not in the same stratosphere as the good old fashioned hate that was. And we got the last laugh in that one too.

Russell Wilson's career stats in 3 years

 

Career passer rating 98.6

Career completion % - 63.4

Season passing avg- 3316

2 Superbowl appearances in 3 years.

 

Its ok to be a hater....

I can even deal with a troll...

 

But some of these statements are just flat out idiot. Its one thing to think you shouldn't pay a quarterback a particular amount, but to say he's mediocre... is baseless.
