The 2022 season has ended and now is the time to start preparing for the next season. The first order of business, try and get the contract extensions for the players that the franchises want to keep. Here the players name the highest price they can, and the franchises try to bring them down. An NFL insider spilled on how the Seattle Seahawks once fleeced QB Russell Wilson of almost $10 million during negotiations.

One of the deals to keep an eye on this year would be the Daniel Jones saga. But Mike Garafolo isn’t bothered by what Jones is asking from the New York Giants.

How the Seahawks brought down the Russell Wilson demand?

NFL analyst Mike Garafolo spilled the beans on how Russell Wilson asked for a big contract but then signed a lower one a day later. Talking about the Daniel Jones situation with the Giants, Garafolo said that the reported $45 million a year demand means nothing.

“A lot of talk of Daniel Jones and a reported, rumored price of $45 million per season that a lot of people are saying,’ you gotta be kidding me with that number’. Frankly, I don’t care about that number,” Garafolo told the NFL Network.
