Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks continue to each take a hardline in their contract talks.

The Seahawks can use the exclusive franchise tag on him for 2016, which would give him an approximate contract worth $20 million.

Doing so again in 2017 would increase the figure to around $24 million.

If the Seahawks used the tag on him for a third season for 2018, it would likely rise to $34.6 million.
