The Facts: Wilson’s representation and the Seahawks have had talks of late but no significant breakthroughs, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports. “There has been very little progress made between the two sides,” Condotta quoted a league source.
Diehards Line:
Wilson set a deadline of April 15 -- the start of the team’s offseason program --for a new deal. The Seahawks quarterback has one year remaining on the four-year, $87.6 million contract he signed July 31, 2015, and he wants to avoid the speculation that occurred during the 2015 offseason. Wilson said in January he would play the 2019 season without a new contract “if that’s what I’ve got to do. ..." It is unclear whether Wilson will skip the voluntary offseason program in the absence of an extension. We'll be watching for more.
