(RENTON, Wash.) — Russell Wilson is staying around with the Seattle Seahawks as the most generously compensated player in the NFL.
Wilson posted a video via web-based networking media early Tuesday saying, "Seattle, we got it," soon after consenting to a $140 million, four-year expansion with the Seahawks, his operator Mark Rodgers told The Associated Press. Wilson's new arrangement goes through the 2023 season and incorporates a $65 million marking reward, a no-exchange condition and $107 million in ensured cash.
Wilson's every year normal of $35 million tops Aaron Rodgers' normal yearly pay of $33.5 million as a feature of the $134 million augmentation he marked a year ago with the Green Bay Packers.
Wilson's ebb and flow $87.6 million, four-year bargain was marked toward the start of preparing camp in 2015 and was set to terminate after next season.
"Russell's objective and his expectation was that he would proceed with his profession with the Seahawks and keep on conveying titles to this town," Rodgers said. "He accepts there is as yet incomplete business and he is anticipating seeking after that without agonizing over contracts and his future."
The 30-year-old Wilson had set a midnight due date for another arrangement with Seattle. He needed conviction about his agreement before the beginning of the group's offseason exercise program, which started on Monday. Wilson appeared for the principal day and before the night's over was posting a video with spouse Ciara reporting the understanding.
The arrangement closes the discussion about Wilson's future with the Seahawks, in spite of the fact that there appeared to be little uncertainty he would stay in Seattle for some time. The group held influence knowing it likely had no less than three additional seasons with Wilson under focus. Regardless of whether he played out 2019 under his ebb and flow bargain, Seattle could have utilized the establishment tag if necessary to hold him under contract through 2020 and 2021 at a sensible cost by quarterback principles.
In any case, the expansion enables Seattle to spending plan for the future realizing how to function with Wilson's weighty check in the years ahead and fabricate a contender around the previous third-round pick that has formed into an establishment QB.
Wilson's new arrangement would need to top the augmentation marked by Rodgers before the beginning of last season.

The five-time Pro Bowl determination is falling off seemingly his best season as Seattle went an astounding 10-6 and earned a NFC special case before losing to Dallas in the opening round of the playoffs. It should be a revamping year, yet the Seahawks were in front of calendar on account of their arrival to a run-first offense and Wilson's uncommon execution when entrusted to toss.
The 5-foot-11 Wilson tossed for a vocation high 35 touchdowns and coordinated his profession low with seven captures. He endeavored just 427 passes — his most reduced aggregate since his second season when Seattle won the Super Bowl — however his productivity was a lifelong best with a 110.9 passer rating. He additionally ran just multiple times, a lifelong low, as the improved run amusement and hostile line play enabled Wilson to remain in the pocket more and scramble for his life less.
It was an obvious change from the 2017 season when Seattle missed the playoffs out of the blue under Wilson. He drove the alliance in touchdown passes, yet in addition was Seattle's driving rusher due to a non-existent run amusement.
The possibility of Wilson regularly leaving Seattle has dependably appeared a stretch. Groups basically don't abandon quarterbacks with the sort of progress he's had. Wilson has driven the Seahawks to the playoffs in six of his seven seasons, the main miss coming in 2017 when Seattle completed 9-7. He won a Super Bowl in his second season and returned to the title diversion a year later before committing the one noteworthy error of his vocation that will wait until he wins another title, tossing an objective line capture attempt in the last moment when the Seahawks got an opportunity to lead the pack on New England.
Wilson has racked the shame of short quarterbacks being unfit to play in the NFL. He's likewise been incredibly sturdy, never missing an amusement while playing through noteworthy knee, lower leg and shoulder wounds.
