The long summer saga that is Russell Wilson's contract situation is over. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms Wilson and the Seahawks agreed to a four-year extension worth $87.6 million. The news was first reported by Peter King of TheMMQB.com and also confirmed by Wilson himself.

NFL: Seahawks Offered Rusell Wilson $21 million A Year


Russell Wilson, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, is set to make $1.54 million in 2015. Ideally, the quarterback would make a lot more than that. The issue, however, is that he and the Seahawks aren't (yet) on the same page when it comes to his value. We've heard everything from Wilson wants to be the NFL's highest paid quarterback and he wants to be in Seattle for a "really, really long time," to he "would definitely consider" playing both football and baseball in the future.

As it stands, the NFL's top-earning quarterbacks, on average, are Aaron Rodgers ($22.0 million), Ben Roethlisberger ($21.85 million), Cam Newton ($20.76 million), Matt Ryan ($20.75 million) and Joe Flacco ($20.1 million).
