Russell Wilson is Rich, But Not Richer Than Aaron Rodgers

Russell Wilson

Seattle Seahawks quarterback (and Badger great) Russell Wilson signed a four-year contract extension this morning. Normally, we wouldn’t care, but this contract was worth keeping an eye on.

It was almost roundly predicted that Wilson would end up making more than Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the highest-paid player in the league.

Not because he’s necessarily better than Rodgers, but because contract negotiations are about timing.

Well, Wilson’s deal does not top Rodgers’ deal.

The Seattle signal caller received a four-year extension worth $87.6 million. That’s an average of $21.9 million per season and whether symbolic or not, that’s a mere $100,000 less per year than Rodgers’ $22 million annually.

However, as this was an extension, it just adds four years onto Wilson’s current deal. So, once you factor that in, the total five-year contract is worth $89.142 million or an average of $17.82 million annually.

When Rodgers got his deal, it was five years for $110 million.

Wilson’s deal gives him the 12th-highest annual salary among quarterbacks, right above Matthew Stafford and right below Tony Romo.

    As I thought would happen, this deal gives the Seahawks one year more to compete as Wilson’s base salary is almost nothing for 2015. After that, his cap hit goes way up in 2016and the Seahawks will have to shed top players to stay under the salary cap.

      My thoughts, exactly.

    Bobby “Can’t keep everyone” Wagner and No Show Kam Chancellor seem to agree with you, Deepsky.
