He also has an insurance policy, it has been reported.
I weep no tears for Russell Wilson's financial future, but I have doubts that his insurance is less than the fully guaranteed amount he is going to get on his next deal.

And the chances of an injury severe enough to alter his next contract are small, but the risk is all his right now.

That said, I am not at all sure Wilson is worth the next 22/65/120 QB contract. The question for the Seahawks is what are they willing to risk this year, and what follows if Wilson leaves next year. Its not a Favre situation where the QB in question is aging and working on his own agenda. Wilson might be the best fit for the Seahawks and vice versa.

Its an interesting dilemma. I think its probable someone will overspend on him outside Seattle, but its not the same as Luck hitting the FA market.
