Matt Ryan just became the first $30 million player in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers should be next. But what about Russell Wilson?
On SCHOOLED with The Professor, John Clayton talks with Joel Corry, a former agent who studies contracts and the salary cap like no other as a writer for CBSsports.com. And his thoughts might surprise you.
Corry talks about the possibility of Wilson playing out two years on the franchise tag with the Seahawks, similar to what Kirk Cousins did with the Washington Redskins. He makes a bold forecast on how Wilson might be able to top an Aaron Rodgers deal while discussing the challenges of getting quarterback contracts done in the salary cap era. Finally, they get into the salary cap, the future of negotiations in the league and little bit of about what might change in the next collective bargaining agreement.
