the last outlaw Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 lmfao http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12874237/seattle-seahawks-fan-looks-gather-donations-help-team-re-sign-russell-wilson A Seattle Seahawks fan has started a page at gofundme.com for donations to help with quarterback Russell Wilson's contract situation. Calling Wilson "the best thing to happen" to Seattle since former Mariners slugger Ken Griffey Jr., the gofundme page asks fans to donate money to help the Seahawks pay Wilson "IF and only IF" the quarterback re-signs. "Let's give Wilson the money to ensure that he stays where he is loved," the page reads. "The more salary cap we can free up, the more the Seahawks can go after more talent and we can get back to the Superbowl!" Wilson, starting his fourth NFL season, is in the final year of his rookie contract, which will pay him $1.5 million this season if a new contact agreement is not worked out. He is believed to be seeking a multiyear deal worth over $100 million. The fund is a nice gesture, but will have no bearing on Wilson's contract or the team's salary cap. As of 4:40 p.m. ET, a total of $35 had been pledged by four people. Wilson is coming off a second straight Super Bowl appearance and helped lead the franchise to its only title in Super Bowl XLVIII.

It doesn't free up salary. They could pay him 200 million if they wanted easy. It's a matter of Seattle not wanting to overpay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of Seattle not wanting to overpay him. I think the idea is... Lets say the go fund me raised 5 mill...(just for arguments sake), that would be 5 mil less that RW could sign for, and thus have 5 mil more cap space... and then just give him the cash from the account...
