The close of this past season opened the door for Russell Wilson and other members of the 2012 NFL Draft class to begin negotiating new contracts. One of the more notable members of that class is Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. He has a pair of Super Bowl appearances and one ring under his belt, and while he has benefited greatly from having Marshawn Lynch, he is dynamic in his own right.
Earlier this offseason, there was some chatter that he could end up getting a fully guaranteed deal in exchange for taking less overall money. That talk quieted down, and we have officially settled into the back and forth of contract negotiations.
