Getty ImagesESPN’s Chris Mortensen stirred up a bit of a storm earlier in the day, reporting that the Seahawks received a call last week from a representative of quarterback Russell Wilson “insisting” that Wilson’s contract be adjusted.
Agent Bus Cook, who represents Wilson, was “irate,” and Cook called the report “a bunch of bullsh-t.” Cook denies that any request for a new contract was made.
Mort now says via Twitter, “Anybody inferring that Russell Wilson was aware of inquiry about his contract this year would be wrong.”
In revisiting the topic, Mort didn’t back off his report that the request was made, despite Cook’s denial. So, per Mort, the request was made and Wilson didn’t know about it.
We inferred it that Wilson knew. And if we’re wrong, the notion that an agent for a player called the player’s team and “insisted” on a new deal without the player’s knowledge is troubling, to say the least.

It was Ronaiah Tuiasosopo making the call.
This is Bus Cook you know the same guy who did lots of slimy thing for Favre when he was with the Packers and Jets to get him to the Vikings were talking about. I believe Mort’s report is 100% accurate.
Seriously as far as I’m concerned Agents top lawyers on the sleezy slimy human being list. Is there anything on this planet with lower standards then a sports agent?
Digging yourself out of your own hole eh Mort?
Sorry Bus. I was the one who made the request. Neither you or Russell were supposed to know about it.
If you are an agent and don’t know this, you are a complete idiot. I am a big fan of the game, and was just talking about this the other day. Obviously, I now know that I can become an agent based on utter stupidity of this guy! Where do I apply? If I were Russell, if be looking for a new agent, and quick. I find it hard to believe that Russ didn’t know a thing about it either
why would anybody use Bus Cook for representation?
WAKE UP and smell the coffee Russ, get rid of this fool!!
Bus is wondering why all the fuss to begin with as he only made the courtesy call because he was getting a head start on what is coming after the 3rd season……He didn’t mean right now……..Geezzzzz..
Mr. Cook, Lennay Kekua on line 1.
It’d be pretty stupid for Cook to ask for a raise for Wilson since I’m pretty sure contracts can’t be reworked or extended or changed in the first two or three years per the new CBA…
Rookie contracts, I mean
seems like no one wants to be the one with egg on their face here not even mort
Victim of a hoax lol
We we we we we. All the way home.
Here’s hoping your umbrella and goulashes didn’t fail you.
