Start of NFL free agency reinforces why Seahawks wait, why Russell Wilson is going to get PAID

Once again, the beginning of the NFL’s negotiating period for free agents is showing why the Seahawks would rather wait through the madness.

Nick Foles—26 career regular-season wins, four playoff victories, 11,165 yards and 68 touchdowns passing with one Pro Bowl—reportedly agreed to an $88-million, four-year deal on Monday to be the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new quarterback. With bonuses, Foles could earn up to $102 million from the Jaguars, according to NFL Network. ESPN said Foles’ eye-catching deal includes $50, 125,000 in guarantees.

Russell Wilson—75 career regular-season wins, eight playoff victories, 25,624 yards and 196 touchdowns passing with four Pro Bowls—just waits.
