What happened to the Seattle Seahawks’ plan to make Russell Wilson the highest paid quarterback in the NFL?
Currently, Wilson sits near the bottom of the pile for his overall contract amount and his average annual pay (far right columns, respectively) as we can see by Spotrac’s NFL quarterback salary chart.

The low salary figure is a result of Wilson being a third-round draft pick, but his expiring deal creates a dilemma in Seattle, since the dual-threat quarterback is worth many millions more.
Apparently, Wilson’s contract negotiations are going nowhere because the two sides are nowhere close to a mutual number.
