Dolphin_Akie Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 In some ways the Hawks are going to be punished for having Wilson on such a low paying rookie deal. Wilson is going to want as much as possible to give him financial security because he's been played so little relatively in the first four years of his career.

heehawks Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wilson is flat out nuts! He's getting really weird and its getting hard to defend and even like this guy anymore. Uncomfortable to say the least. Of course I will cheer and root for him on game day, but man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 AC Green was celibate for years and won world championships...I don't see the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3downleague Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Weber easily the best defenseman in the NHL?????? Zero Norris trophies...(leagues best defenseman trophy) PK Subban barely top 5 and won Norris last year???? Sorry but WTF? That's a popularity contest, and seriously Weber hasn't won the Norris? I'd still say he's the best in the league, if you think pk is better you need to watch more hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 AC Green was celibate for years and won world championships...I don't see the issue I kind of admire the celibacy thing, as I think moral fiber in our country is pretty much gone. However, the whole "god spoke to me" thing, eh, I dunno. I'm not one to say that this kind of thing doesn't happen, but it can surprise some folks. He's definitely got some small man's, and all this whiny tweeting he does is a bit ridiculous. I'm a less of a fan personally than 99% of the Seattle fans are, so the fact that he may not be the genuine awww shucks kid doesn't surprise me. He'll earn or lose my respect on the field, and to be honest, I think he's pretty overrated as a passer. Good leader and playmaker though.

Seahawks21 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Not that it is really important but do you really believe for a second that Wilson is living in celibacy? Absolutely. I don't believe he would say it if it wasn't true. Not the type of guy to get caught up telling lies. He's a stubborn guy, and I can totally see him being this way. He isn't "cool." I personally think he may be homosexual, but he is definitely a different kind of cat, so this doesn't surprise me at all. We still have heard nothing about why his first marriage ended, but there was certainly a strange story there that hasn't been leaked as of yet.

AX2RUN Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Give him around 14 or 15 million per year now. And then after that defense falls apart, and beast mode retires, if seattle is still a contender restructure the deal and pay the man, make him retire a hawk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Brown Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 And Bobby Wagner signed the day after. Mike Sando explains how the Hawks have an advantage, in the modern day salary cap era, because of how well their players outperform there draft position after rookie salaries are negotiable. http://espn.go.com/blog/seattle-seahawks/post/_/id/13659/bobby-wagner-latest-seahawks-draft-pick-to-sign-extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No discussion on this? I thought it was interesting....under the new CBA, 3rd year players typically can only negotiate new contracts with the team that drafted them. It's a major twist on how things used to be. Every player and agent wants guaranteed financial security, and if you've outperformed your draft position; these players will most likely re-sign with the team that drafted them after Year 3 for below Year 4 projected values (when they could become unrestricted free agents). That is why and how Seattle has still kept their blue chip players on both sides of the ball. It's a benefit to teams that draft well, as it should be.

Most probably didn't get that angle, it wasn't really mentioned in your post but may have been in the aritcle you linked. I don't know about others but when I'm spending a short time (lunch) online I don't have time to click and read every link so I don't. It does sound like an interesting discussion and reminds of some of what I've seen in the NBA this year following the Cavs off season moves and how since they will be over the salary cap they can more easily offer big contracts to their current players compared to signing a free agent to a similar contract.
