Why Russell Wilson shouldn’t give the Seahawks a discount

Thursday here at Field Gulls I took a look at the discount* under which Russell Wilson is set to play the 2021 season, and readers absolutely loved** both the post and the title and responded with great approval to the analysis*** performed.

*there is no discount
**hated
***the methodology was preposterous and the purpose of the article was to show how ridiculous the analysis that Tom Brady had taken a $60M discount over the course of his career is

Thus, today I’ll be taking an actual, meaningful look at the purported Brady discount by comparing the cap hits of Brady to the same season cap hits of the contracts which the authors of the original analysis used as comparables.
