YoloinOhio Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 He's also "already" 26. He wants the biggest payday he can. He wants 25 mill/yr, I heard. They are hoping for 18-19 mill/yr. They could wait, and tag him next year if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I just once want a young elite QB go "nah I will just see what I get on the market." Then the Bills scoop them up of course... Edited April 17, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 it is interesting that they basically followed the same model we are trying to follow  - Cheap QB contract - Money went into everything else AROUND the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah, but if we get Wilson in FA, we will be blasted again next draft for not taking a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's salary cap = Pegs... They're not going to lose a franchise QB because of accounting considerations. They'll move $$$ around, just like all teams do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Paul Allen's salary cap = Pegs... Â They have a chit ton of cap space next year. $111MM used for 2016 currently without restructures on what will be probably a $160MM cap. They will be fine. He will sign for about $20-25MM per.

Retsel Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Paul Allen's bank account is 100 times bigger than Pegs. But it does not matter because the cap only allows you to spend so much Edited May 8, 2015 by Retsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The odds on the Bills getting RW is 0%, 0%. Please give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Russel Wilson is going to get paid like Rodgers, Brady, Manning and I don't think he's even remotely in the same class. Part of the Squawks success has been their ability to build a dominant defense and incredible running game since they weren't burdened with the type of salary an elite QB commands. I think backing up the truck for Wilson will be the beginning of their descent back to the middle of the pack as less resources are available to sustain that D.

Dorkington Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Someone will pay him top dollar, and the Seahawks will need to match, otherwise they're back to square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 He will get around $20mil a year when it is all said and done. Seattle is a good organization. You do not let talent walk. They figured out Marshawn's contract. They will figure out Wilson's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
