Russell Wilson finally got the deal he wanted.
In the early morning hours of Tuesday, it was announced that the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson have reached agreement on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes a $65 million signing bonus and makes the quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL.
Wilson is now tied to the Seahawks through the 2023 season with a deal that includes a no-trade clause.
“Hey Seattle, we got a deal,” a sleepy-sounding Wilson says while lying in bed next to his wife Ciara. “Go Hawks. But I’ma see y’all in the morning. Time for y’all to go to bed.”
The five-time Pro Bowler and the quarterback of the only Super Bowl-winning team in Seahawks history edged his previous career bests with 35 touchdown passes and a 110.9 passer rating while tying his career low of seven interceptions during the 2018 season.
