Seahawks

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson said there is “great potential” for him becoming the NFL’s highest paid player at some point.

“There’s a great potential of that,” Wilson said, via The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “It would be fun.”

Wilson added that he feels he could potentially play for “10-15” more years. 

“Being a kid, African-American kid, 5-foot-11, came from Richmond, Virginia, went to a private school, people said I wouldn’t make it in Division I-A,” Wilson said. “Getting to where I am now, Year 7 going into Year 8, I believe I have 10-15 years left.”

• As for the rumors of possibly playing for the Giants, Wilson said: “I’m not sure if the Seahawks are gonna let me get away. I love Seattle.” (B/R)

• Schefter’s source responded, “F— no,” to the possible trade rumors.
