OT: trade or extend Russell Wilson?
- Thread starter Gladstone
- Start date
How dare you, Sir! Please do not defile the sanctity of the game of college football with your NFL hot talk.
Not sure. This season will give the answer. I would probably lean towards trade him, but that could also leave the Seahawks years away from being a playoff team again.

They are years away with him so it doesn't really matter
I'm in the minority, but they will get better.
IOW - Great bored selection

What’s the last team that traded a franchise qb in his prime?
I mean if you can get three first rounders from a team with a current top five pick sure. Two mid to low first rounders not a chance.

Trading him means trusting that Carrol/Schneider will actually draft another good QB. Not sure about that.

Helps when you have a sugar momma.
The Broncos spent $19 million on game manager Peyton when they won the ring in 15, which is equivalent to well over 20 under the current cap.
The issue is percentage of cap money, not actual dollars.

Jay Cutler is the closest thing I guess?
Denver to Chicago for Traded for 18th overall pick (Robert Ayers), 3rd round pick (Mike Wallace), 2010 1st round pick (#11 Anthony Davis) and Kyle Orton.
Wilson is obviously better but Denver got 2 first rounders, 3rd rounder and a lower tier starting QB, for Jay "the smoker" Cutler.
Some other teams have traded up and spent a ton of picks to get Goff or RG3 in the past. But russel is 29 and not on a rookie contract

This is something I've said for a while. You have to go back to 2011 with Brady before his hometown discount and Brees met in the SB to find a team make the super bowl with a top 10 contact. Even Peyton with Denver was a cheap contract relative to the QBs at the time.
Extend Wilson and sell him on super bowl with additional endorsement money from his concussion proof water is better than making top flight QB money.

I don't have time to check. But I'm pretty sure this was not a top 5 contact the 2 super bowl years. I could possibly be wrong the year they played the Seahawks.
