That's right NY, go draft yer own gd quarterback! You can have Ciara, though.
Seriously though I'm pretty relieved after this weird drama fest.
And he even got a no-trade, guess he *does* want to be here.

He deserves every penny. Smart of Seattle to get it done and not let it drag on.

Are we finally over getting outraged over every new contract being the biggest contract ever? It's about time.

I figured Seattle would cave. No team in their right mind lets their franchise guy walk.

Inb4 Patrick Mahomes completely shatters this mark within the next year.

Oh he will, too. First to 200M?

If can't crack 200 million, i don't see anyone else who reasonably can.

He is that team but 35 million a year is way to much for him. 20-25 million a year would have been enough for him.

He was guaranteed $30 and $36 if they tagged him.

I still am surprised that they opted to do this deal. It’s basically a 3 year deal based on guaranteed money of $107 million with $65 in SB. They gained the final franchise tag year of $52 million. Would have been like $117 mill for 3 years solely on the tag.

lol he would never sign for that tho.

Is he going to throw the ball up and go catch it himself? I mean, he probably could.

Baldwin is looking at recovery from multiple surgeries and a probable decline, so I think the team will be looking to add help there. Drafting their guy wouldn't surprise me.
Lockett's pretty great though.

Their hands were tied. They had to re-sign him for whatever it took (in my opinion).

holy overpay

I was complementing Wilson more than I was trying to put down Seattle's wr core.

It's a lot of cash but when you have a top tier franchise Qb you have to pay up, even the mediocre guys get 22-26 mil a year

What do GMs negociate exactly?

These cowards keep breaking bank every single time a starting QB is out of contract. It's not a coencidence the top 6 most paid QBs played for teams that didn't make the playoffs.

Teams like Chicago, LA and KC should stack up right now because their window will end soon enough.

 

[Trap Jesus]

If you're a QB entering free agency and don't set a new record for a contract of some sort, you probably suck.

Wilson is legitimately great though.

It's either you pay your franchise QB or somebody else will. Pretty basic concept of supply and demand really.

Maybe you're the coward for trying to insinuate a QB is enough to carry a team into the playoffs (spoilers; it's not most of the time)

That.... was one of the oddest and worst comebacks I have ever heard in my entire life.

I had to show people around me and ask them what you're trying to say. Nobody knows

It actually is a coincidence those 6 guys didn't make the playoffs as it just came down to when the contract was signed and who got hurt.

you must be soooo proud

I understand.

There's no exact science in sports anyways.

It's just been a mockery of the cap system to me how every top tier QB has been breaking records every quarter of the year. Guys like Goff, Trubisky and Mahomes must be licking their chops, begging their agents to wait until the last moment to sign a deal, because they now that in their cases, more time is more money.

Yup, Wilson had a overwhelming advantage in discussions on a new deal. Is he overpaid? Probably but Seattle had to put the coin down to keep him
