Obviously, we ALL knew this was coming. Actually, it’s not as high as I thought it would be. That said, it’s a bit of a risk for the Donkos given he hasn’t even taken a snap for them yet. Will he be anywhere close to the old Russell Wilson or the guy that appears to be gaining weight as he ages and whose athleticism continues to decline. Will he stay healthy as he ages?
Better be right about this contract or you’re gonna be screwed for several years. And you need to start drafting better as you won’t have as much free agent money to throw around here soon.
Wasn’t it KnowMo that said ‘better take advantage of Mahomes cheap years’? Well, you basically have 2 ‘semi-cheap’ years with Wilson before the extension kicks in. Better win something these next couple years cause your window to operate within gets significantly smaller after that . . . . .

Yeah and we always say that after the next mega contract, but the cap just continues to rise and every year there are more players signing and pushing those big deals down. It's totally a risk, but they're making a bet that he's not on a decline. We will know soon.
In 2023, they have like 5 draft picks starting in R3... and believe they have most of their picks in 2024. So, it will be interesting what they do in 2023, but if Wilson shows in 2022 that he is top QB, it's worth it.
