“I just want to be paid based off my play”, Wilson said.

She also posted a picture on Instagram of Russell Wilson, who she regarded as her Man Crush Monday, sparking rumors on social media that it made her ex-husband Future jealous.
Quarterback Russell Wilson has not inked a deal yet with the Seattle Seahawks. Most fans believe Wilson can’t be both a pom-pom waving team-first system quarterback and a shrewd, squeeze-out-every-dollar businessman. “It’s a kid’s dream”, Wilson told Kimmel.
Of course if you read the title of this article you will know Russell Wilson has not been traded.
Kimmel then changed the conversation to Wilson’s contract, asking the Super Bowl champion if he wants to be the highest paid player in football.
Wilson is set to earn $1.54 million in the upcoming season, far less lucrative than the multiyear deal he reportedly wants.
When he asked Wilson if he was more exhausted of talking about his contract or the last play of the Super Bowl, Wilson said both. After all, he left his football agent, Bus Cook, to work exclusively with baseball agent Mark Rodgers in contract negotiations with the Seahawks.
The Texas Rangers now hold his rights, but if he ends up under the control of the Seattle Mariners, he would “definitely consider” going out for both sports.
Such a theory might actually help the Mariners’ cause if they were so inclined. I continue to love the game for what it is and continue to fight and continue to play – no matter how much I’m getting paid, no matter if it’s $25 million or if it’s $1.5 million.

In other words, would Wilson accept less money from the Seahawks if they gave him permission to play baseball in the offseason?
