It is a lot (probably 6 mill too much market wise) but his value to the team is more than any other RB in football. They were talking about Murray on the radio and saying he must be pissed that Seattle can value Lynch so much but Dallas can’t offer him more than 4 mil a year.
I’m not sure what the cap situation is like but Russell is going to get his 20 mil a year in the next few months but luckily they have been planning it for two years so things should be ok. Sadly it does mean that Byron Maxwell is probably gone (and there is NO CHANCE they can get Suh) but Seattle seems to know who to keep (Russell, Marshawn, Sherman, Thomas etc….) so well see.
