Russell Wilson will be the next elite quarterback to discuss an extension with his incumbent team, which could set a new bar for contracts.

The Seattle Seahawks and Wilson have barely begun their talks.

"We've been in communication, sure. It's very topical. We're on it," said Pete Carroll.

Aaron Rodgers signed a four-year, $134 million extension with the Green Bay Packers in 2018, which could potentially climb to $180 million.

The Seattle Seahawks have opened extension talks with Bobby Wagner.

Pete Carroll said on Tuesday that Wager is “going to be a Seahawk” when all is said and done.

Wagner is representing himself in contract talks.

“It’s more challenging [for players representing themselves] that they can know, because to get through the process, there’s a lot to it,” Carroll said. “Bobby’s going to have good support around him; he has asked a lot of questions so that he will be prepared to deal with it, and I know he’ll do a good job and all. But it’s maybe more difficult than I think a guy can imagine going into it the first time. The conversations and issue and stuff to learn and all that, I think he’s looking forward to that, just to see what it’s all about.”

Earl Thomas nearly accepted a one-year guaranteed contract worth $12 million with another $1 million in likely incentives with an undisclosed team.

The undisclosed team was confident an agreement with Thomas would be reached.

But the Baltimore Ravens approached Thomas knowing they had to overpay to break up the other deal, offering a four-year, $55 million deal. Thomas' deal includes $32 million in fully guaranteed money with $22 million coming in the first nine months.

“The Ravens were never in the picture,” Thomas said. “I was shocked. I was blessed.” 

K.J. Wright has agreed to re-sign with the Seattle Seahawks on a two-year, $15.5 million deal.

“I am coming back to Seattle,” said Wright in a text to Josina Anderson.

Wright signed a four-year, $27 million extension with Seattle in at the end of the 2014 season.

The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to sign Earl Thomas to a four-year, $55 million contract.

Thomas' deal includes $32 million in fully guaranteed money with $22 million coming in the first nine months.

Thomas' 2018 season ended on Sept. 30 when he broke his left leg.

Thomas made six Pro Bowls in his nine seasons with the Seahawks and was named first-team All-Pro three times. 

The Seattle Seahawks have franchised Frank Clark.

Clark was the 63rd overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Clark earned a career-high 77.4 overall Pro Football Focus grade across 774 defensive snaps this past year, logging 69 total pressures and 31 defensive stops in the process.

Kyler Murray met with ten teams while at the combine.

The Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Washington, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers met with Murray. Then 10th team to meet with Murray hasn't been identified.

Murray is expected to be a first round pick.
