Russell Wilson 5/$245M with 165 guaranteed

[Captain Lemming]

This would be pretty balls-y. And it might just be posturing.

But Balt is one of the more analytical teams in the league.

If there's a short list of teams that will be ahead of the curve not paying massive deals to QBs, I'd put them on it.

That is a really interesting point.

The Athletic reports Russell Wilson in February 2022 asked Seahawks ownership to fire head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.


It's a bombshell allegation -- one that Wilson quickly denied in a Twitter post following The Athletic's damning report of his final season in Seattle and his first disastrous year in Denver. Wilson wanted Carroll replaced by Sean Payton, according to The Athletic. Wilson was reportedly "convinced that Carroll and Schneider were inhibiting his quest to win additional Super Bowls and individual awards" and was frustrated by Carroll's conservative offensive approach. It seems Carroll understood better than anyone that Wilson is more of a game manager than a quarterback who can singlehandedly carry a team to championships. That Wilson wanted Payton to take over in Seattle could be a good sign that Wilson will follow Payton's lead in 2023 after reportedly being detached from his coaches and teammates in 2022. Rotoworld's Denny Carter outlined how Payton might get the most out of a declining Wilson this season.

This was also confirmed by Colin Cowherd who is buddy's with Sean Payton. Wilson tried to get Seattle to hire him. Who cares about Wilson? He is in the steep decline and lost his legs and deep ball ARM and ACCURACY. Good luck Payton, you are going to need it. Meanwhile Pete Carroll has lot of draft picks and a better QB.

We are about to see did Wilson really lose it or was it just because they didn't have a real head coach.
