At the very worst, the Hawks will franchise Wagner next year. It's all good.

It's goona be the non-exclusive rights tender, the exclusive rights tender would cost 13-15m/yr since it's avg salary of current top 5 LB's and that would be too much. Non-exclusive rights would be average of last 5 years and also would allow Wagz to seek a deal from another team which Hawks get right to first refusal to match, and if any other team signs him/the Hawks don't want to match, Hawks gets two 1st round picks from that team and Wagz would probably have to be overpaid to not get matched.At the very worst, the Hawks will franchise Wagner next year. It's all good.

Giving into his demands is something else entirely, and the Seahawks simply can't afford to go around handing out raises just because a guy might deserve it. That's true not only because there is a salary cap that limits the money a team can allot to its payroll in a given year, but because to give one guy a raise when he threatens not to report for the start of a season makes it that much harder to convince the next guy to honor his contract when he feels underpaid.
Precedent. That's the word that is used in these instances, and now Seattle's dealings with Marshawn Lynch last year are being cited as a precedent for the team giving in to a player's demands.
Just one problem with that: Seattle didn't give in. Not according to what I was told last August after Lynch reported and not what was reiterated to me this week. While Lynch's contract was adjusted last year with some performance bonuses being turned into base salary, I was told specifically that Seattle had already offered to make those adjustments previously in the offseason. No one from Lynch's side ever disputed that description. In other words, Seattle didn't give Lynch more because he held out. Rather, he accepted what had already been offered.
Done deal: Russell Wilson signs a four-year contract extension with themitch levy @kjrmitch
Russell Okung just told us he has begun discussions with John Schneider on his future. Not using an agent.
