YoloinOhio Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Happy wife, happy life? https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/02/20/rumor-emerges-of-russell-wilson-eventually-joining-the-giants/ Quote Colin Cowherd cranked up a doozy on Wednesday, passing along word from the “entertainment agent world” grapevine that Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson could end up playing for the New York Giants. As the rumor goes, Wilson’s wife — Ciara — prefers to live in New York, because Seattle is not an “entertainment Mecca.” Assuming that this is enough to get Wilson to change teams, that he’d want to play for the Giants, and that the Giants would want him, it’s something that he could force, sooner or later. PFT explained last year when reporting that Wilson wasn’t inclined in the aftermath of a flurry of quarterback deals to sign an extension but instead to play things out on a year-to-year basis, Kirk Cousins-style. Because he has a cap number of $25.286 million in 2019, his franchise tag in 2020 would land at $30.34 million. In 2021, it would spike to $36.41 million. For 2022, the 44-percent rule would push the number all the way to $52.43 million. If Wilson is willing to bear the year-to-year injury risk and able to say no to any and all long-term offers the Seahawks make, he eventually will force the Seahawks into some very tough decisions. If they pay $30.34 million for 2020, will they pay $36.41 million for 2021? Will they pay $52.43 million for 2022? At some point, they’d surely decline to be held hostage by the ever-increasing cash and cap commitment, giving Wilson freedom to move on (or possibly tagging and trading him) Edited April 2, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that, overall, if they were to get him, they will be paying him less over the life of that contract than they will have paid E Manning.

Have to consider “QB Inflation”, but I’m sure they’d love to have him. If he’s personally inclined to wanting to be there, you just may get a “new town discount”, and I’m sure he could make it up with endorsements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Meh... Colin Cowherds rumors are about as valuable as a Donald Trump food review. Easy for people like Colin to say things like this that will take several years to reveal if there was anything to it. And easy to say an entertainer prefers living in NY over Seattle, thats obvious. Doesn't mean its really going to impact his future in Seattle and Giants will likely already have a QB in place before this could even possibly matter. Just seems like click bait material to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalover4life Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 If true, and he did want to leave Seattle for his wife, I imagine Miami or LA are also entertainment meccas she could be interested in... also possible destinations for Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very unlikely to actually happen (too complicated with too many obstacles), but I don’t doubt at all that the wife would prefer NYC over Seattle. That’s all he reported he heard from a source, then speculated about how difficult/practical it would be. .

Ha - true, Cowherd can be a hack. but it isn’t too far fetched and makes sense to me - if Russ doesn’t want to spend his whole career in Seattle he certainly doesn’t have to. And if he wants to leave, the Seahawks would be wise to build the team going forward with that in mind. I could also see Pete Carroll retiring in the not so distant future and they will re-build and re-brand with a new leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, sounds like someone trying to create a story. Have to admit that it has more plausibility and/or human interest than a lot of other discussions being floated lately. If I was at a bar with my friends we might talk about this for a few minutes, nothing more. We'd probably spend more time debating whether the next pitcher should be Yuengling or Toasted Lager. The genius among us would have the Jaeger shots in front of us toasting Ciara's finer qualities before we could decide on the beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can expand on her music business in NYC and it could last a lot longer than an NFL career. So, if they move to NYC and her career hits an upswing, they could make a lot more money.

SoCal Deek Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I’m not sure why this story seems so odd to some people. There are lots of couples who move because one or the other gets s job relocation offer. And FYI there are a ton of people who make WAY MORE than professional football players.
