The Facts: While talking to reporters during his passing academy at the University of Wisconsin over the weekend, Wilson reiterated that he's not distracted or worried about his contract situation. "It's not where my focus is," Wilson said. "The rest will work out. The contract will work itself out. I'm excited about it and excited to hopefully be a Seattle Seahawk for a really, really long time. So, that's the goal."
Diehards Line:
As we wade deeper into the quiet period of the calendar for players and coaches, Wilson's contract situation hovers as one of the most interesting topics for offseason fodder. The blow-by-blow accounts of the complex contract negotiation between the quarterback and Seahawks grow increasingly frequent as it becomes more evident a deal won't get done anytime soon. Indeed, Profootballtalk.com has spent considerable time rolling through a variety of possible scenarios, going so far as to suggest this might be Wilson's last season with the Seahawks. That said, Wilson has never given us a reason to question his loyalty to his teammates or his desire to remain in Seattle. But the complexity of the situation -- Wilson being a third-round pick and woefully underpaid, only part of the issue -- makes it difficult to get a deal, especially before the 2015 season starts. That being the case, the speculation will continue.
