When Russell Wilson participates in his first Broncos training camp practice Wednesday morning, he will have the eighth-highest salary cap hit among NFL quarterbacks ($24 million) and the ninth-richest contract in terms of average value ($35 million).
Underpaid? Possibly, considering his track record as a Super Bowl champion and a durable and productive player. Due for a raise? Most likely, considering the exploding nature of salaries league-wide in which eight quarterbacks have deals averaging at least $40 million.
As the Broncos reported to camp Tuesday morning, is a new Wilson deal — he has two years remaining on the contract he signed with Seattle — a priority for general manager George Paton?
