JS has handled everyone's negotiation time in the same manner. Nobody has gotten a new deal prior to 1 year left on their contract. Kam signed before Earl, then Sherm, KJ, Avril, Bennett and now Wagner...everyone was given a deal when they had a year left...and with the CBA rules, of course everyone was signed before Russ...I'm missing your point maybe, idkDon't believe so. Haven't see one thing on that at all.Didnt Russ already turn down a 4yr/80M contract?The crazy thing about this whole Russ thing... His own team doesn't value him as much as the fans.
They have signed everyone else except Russ. And I recall reading they are in talks with Bobby Wagner to re-sign.
The market is set, he's next to sign... Luck for sure isn't signing before him. Just think it's interesting unless I missed something.
You have any links to that?Refuse to talk to the other one on this subject. I like Elpablo though... with that said...somewhere in the Cam Newton neighborhood is what I read, also 54mil Gtd...turned downThe crazy thing about this whole Russ thing... His own team doesn't value him as much as the fans.

but the team doesnt value him?
and once again, the CBA did not allow for the team to extend or negotiate until this off-season with Russ
Yes I know they didn't allow Russ to re-sign until this year. Same with Tannehill and countless other QBs before him with similar rookie deals since the CBA has been redone. That doesn't negate the fact the Seahawks have re-signed everyone else except Russ First.
I also keep seeing random seahawks fans throw out these contracts Russ has supposedly turned down... in this thread alone there was three different figures.
All I ask is to see the sources you guys are getting these numbers from.
Lastly I didn't say the team didn't value him.
The team values their defense much more than him, I am currently saying that.
What I said was:all you have to do is look in this thread... guys (CP) can't even dislike and make valid points of Russ without three people jumping down his throat about them.His own team doesn't value him as much as the fans.
Even Marshawn, when everybody was making a big deal about how the Seahawks were slighting him, same thing...JS does not negotiate extensions with more than one year left on your contract..this has came out of his own mouth during an interview...you might have some money moved around on your current deal but the rules have applied to everyone...nobody has been an exception.
As far as the numbers, I'm only going what's being reported...which could be accurate or hogwash...either way nobody truly knows how this is being handled behind closed doors.

and I see this as them valuing keeping a core together (which includes players on both sides - but yes the team has alot of more premium talent accumulated on the defensive side)...Nobody has gotten an astronomical deal in comparison to their peers at any position. Russ as far as we know is being offered within a similar range
