Russell Wilson Might Become the Biggest Winner of the Jimmy Garoppolo Deal

Maybe when Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson learned of Jimmy Garoppolo's monstrous new contract with the San Francisco 49ers, he was doing normal offseason things.

You know, typical quarterback stuff like preparing for another trip to Disneyland so he could rock another wizard hat. Or he may have been fielding grounders in preparation for spring training.

What he should be doing now, though, is finding the nearest pool and draining all the water because swimming in sweet, sweet cash is much more fun.

Wilson was underpaid even before Garoppolo signed his record-breaking contract worth $137.
