Sometimes all it takes to get a deal done is setting a deadline. The Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson have reached a deal at the last minute.
Wilson confirmed on Twitter that he will be with Seattle for four more years.

According to Peter King of TheMMQB.com, Wilson’s total take over the four years of the deal will be more than $87 million.
We’ll have much more about the structure of the contract. For now, Seahawks fans can celebrate that their man won’t be going anywhere.
