Russell Wilson
The rivalry between the Seahawks and the 49ers has coincided with the emergence of their two star quarterbacks. The big difference between Kaep and Wilson? A giant ring. Unlike every other quarterback on this list, Wilson has a Super Bowl ring and that means that Seattle will likely have to pay an extra premium to keep Wilson around beyond 2015. Yes, football is a team sport and Super Bowl rings are won by more than a quarterback’s arm but in the world of NFL contract negotiations stuff like this matters, especially for quarterbacks. (Just ask Joe Flacco) Russell Wilson will make $662,434 this season and is slated to make $798,651 next season. That’ll change very soon.
