As the Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson work through a contract negotation, Pete Carroll can only watch and hope.
“If Rodgers continues to do business the same way he always has while representing baseball players, each day closer to free agency means decreased likelihood of a deal before Wilson is free (after two franchise tags in 2016 and 2017)”, Rapoport wrote. Speaking from the Sports Humanitarian of the Year Awards, Carroll said the team is continuing to work towards an agreement with their beloved signal-caller, although he remained vague about the chances of actually reaching one. Getting the year of service isn’t a concern for holdouts with four or more years of service.
Part of the reason Seattle has had such success of late is the value of Wilson’s contract.
“Well, he’s crucial, as are all of our guys, and we want him back playing for us forever”. But he raved on Wednesday that, “I have a lot going on, but itâs a good thing”. It’s underway right now and maybe it happens, I don’t know. “That’s all I know, and we’ll see what happens”. After Seattle selected him in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, the former North Carolina State and Wisconsin quarterback won the starting job as a rookie.
ESPYs host Joel McHale wasted no time in poking fun at the Seahawks’ decision to throw the football at the goal line-while trailing-in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIX.
