Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson training his young son the art of being a QB is one way to enjoy his offseason. The young Wilson seems to be practicing and preparing for a living playing football and following in the steps of his father. A video of Russ training his son was uploaded on his official Twitter account and is very promising. The Seahawks QB was showing his son the ropes and rigors of being an NFL QB. Wilson believes in molding young NFL players at a very early age. The video shows Wilson teaching his son how to snap and release the ball at the right time. The young kid has a decent handle on the instructions that Russ dished out to him, and there is some potential in the youngster. Future [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-reveals-where-he-would-announce-decision-revolving-nfl-future-green-bay-packers/] The time Wilson is using to enjoy with family is crucial for determining his plans [https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2022/2/10/22926914/eagles-news-nfl-insider-connects-russell-wilson-trade-rumors-seahawks-philadelphia-quarterback-qb]. He is currently considering different options and will decide where he plays in the 2022 season. RUSSELL WILSON HAS A BIG CHOICE TO MAKE The 33-year-old QB will be someone that the Seahawks will be looking to move sooner rather than later. But as things stand, Russ is in the lead and has nothing but time to place himself in a winning situation to win more Super Bowls. The hunger to get back to the NFL’s headline event is what drives Russ to come back year after year and compete at the highest level. Russell Wilson [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1272306761.jpg] There is a lot of interest among teams that will be looking to add Wilson to their roster. The NFL teams like the New Orleans Saints [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-orleans-saints/], the Washington Commanders, and the Philadelphia Eagles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/] currently lead the race. Winning football games is all Russ Wilson cares about when he is in the game. The move makes sense for both the player and the franchisee. They will be looking for helping and ensuring both are happy with their coexistence. All the teams mentioned within conversations about Russ do miss having someone of his caliber to take themselves to the next level. Wilson will hope for a Brady [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tom-brady/]–Buccaneers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/] effect on any team he chooses and wins another Super Bowl.

He has one Super Bowl title to his name under the Seahawks in 2014. Apart from the football gridiron, Wilson actively takes part in philanthropic works with his wife Ciara. An interesting fact about Russell Wilson is that his jersey sales consistently rank among the top in the NFL dynamics. Russell Wilson&#8217;s early life and family background Russell Carrington Wilson was born in Cincinnati on November 29, 1988, and grew up in Richmond town of Virginia. His dad, Harrison Benjamin Wilson III, worked as a lawyer and his mom, Tammy Wilson, was a nurse director.

The Broncos QB has been surrounded by sports from his very childhood, with his father playing football and baseball at Dartmouth, and being a WR, his brother, Harry, playing football and baseball at the University of Richmond, and his sister Anna playing basketball at Stanford. Following similar steps, the QB joined Stone Bridge High School and was a part of the football team along with the baseball team. As a junior in 2005, Russell Wilson threw for 3,287 passing yards and 40 passing TDs. In his senior year, he threw for 3,009 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. His performances led him to become the all-conference and all-state player of the year. In high school itself, Wilson developed a professional passion for football, after joining the Manning Passing Academy, a summer football clinic run by multiple NFL MVP winner and Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Russell Wilson&#8217;s first marriage Russell Wilson was first married to Ashton Meem for two years (2012-2014).

However, just two years later, in April 2014, the couple decided to separate ways. Concerning the divorce, Wilson said, &#8220;Clearly, decisions like these donâ€™t come easy. Ashton and I respectfully ask for prayers, understanding, and privacy during this difficult time. Moving forward, I will have no further comment on this personal matter.&#8221; No reason behind their divorce was put forth by either of the parties. They do not have any kids together. Despite being married to Wilson, Meem hasn&#8217;t been under the limelight much and has maintained a rather private life. Russell Wilson and Ciara After his divorce in 2014, the football QB met Ciara Wilson at a Wisconsin basketball game, as revealed by Russell Wilson during one of his Instagram lives. They made their first public appearance on April 28, 2015, as they attended the White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner hand-in-hand. Eventually, later that year, the couple officially admitted to being in a relationship. In the following year (2016), Wilson proposed to Ciara, and the same year on July 6, 2016, they got married. It was a private and close wedding in England. After getting married to the pop singer, Russell Wilson not only became a husband to Ciara but also a stepdad to her son, Future Zahir Wilburn.

It goes by the name Why Not You Productions and per sources, it aims at being able to make an impact on people.

Russell Wilson&#8217;s net worth in 2024 Per Celebrity Net Worth, Russell Wilson&#8217;s current 2024 Net Worth lies at $165 million.

Initially with the Seahawks, he became the highest-paid athlete after the four-year-long $140 million contract extension in 2019. He even received a bonus of $65 million, with which his income raised to $107 million. After this, he got traded to the Denver Broncos in March 2022, where he grabbed a signing bonus of $70 million. An extension worth $245 million came his way, gaining a 5-year contract. This guarantees him at least $161 million by the expiration rate of the contract. Russell Wilson earns approximately $14 million from his endorsements, with which his net worth automatically receives a boost. The deals include- Nike Bose Braun Aerobie American Family Insurance Alaska Airlines Boardroom Good Man Brand Amazon Microsoft Duracell Other than this, his investments also have a major role to play in his net worth.

Russell Wilsonâ€™s career timeline Russell Wilson was drafted in 2012 by the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, he played for the squad until the 2021- 2022 season. He was the 75th overall pick and was selected in the third round. Initially, Wilson was considered short for a QB, but he eventually proved his prowess on the field. In the very first season, he became the starting QB after competing with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. Eventually, he won the Rookie of the Year Award for his five-game winning streak and a total of 26 touchdowns that season.

Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports | Courtesy: Reuters In his second season, Russell Wilson helped the Seahawks reach the Super Bowl as they clinched the title SB XLVIII. He made two touchdowns and allowed his team to conquer the Denver Broncos with a 43-8 score. Astonishingly, under his leadership, the Seahawks also reached another Super Bowl in 2014. Sadly, this time, they lost to the New England Patriots. Ultimately, he was traded to the Denver Broncos, where he signed a four-year deal in 2022. Surprisingly, Wilson&#8217;s first season with the Broncos was the complete opposite of the success he was used to with the Seahawks. Arguably, harboring, one of the worst offenses of the season, Wilson couldn&#8217;t turn the tide for the Broncos. His team did not make it to the playoffs this season. He had 26 TDs to his name with 45 sacks and covered 3070 yards. In fact, the Denver Broncos benched their starting QB just as the playoffs were approaching. These steps and the change in the contract have made the clouds of uncertainty loom over the football player. Russell Wilson&#8217;s career stats and records Russell Wilson had an extremely promising college career to show on his resume. The QB played for 4 years with the NC State Wolfpack and for 1 year with the Wisconsin Badgers. In his overall college career, he played 51 games, starting 50 of them, hosting a record of 31-19. In 1,489 attempts, he had 907 completions to his name, making up a 60.9% rate. His passing yards were about 11,720 while rushing yards were around 1,427. The QB had 109 passing TDs and 23 rushing TDs under his belt. Russell Wilson has had a rather exceptional journey in the NFL, with his stats a sure proof of the same. With 5,665 passing attempts to his name, his completions stand at 3,668 leading to his percentage to be at a considerably good number of 64.7%. He had 334 passing TDs and 29 rushing TDs to show in his record, along with having covered 43,653 passing yards and 5,307 rushing yards. His passer rating currently is at 100.0. Wilson has played 188 regular season games and has made 16 playoff appearances. He hosts the NFL records for most passing yards in a playoff game by a rookie (385) and the most fourth-quarter touchdown passes in a season (16 in 2017). For the Seahawks, the player bears multiple massive records to his name. He has the most games with a passing TD under his belt (137) along with the highest passer rating in his whole career (101.8) and the highest passer rating in a season (110.9 in 2018). Russell Wilson contracts Wilson signed a four-year deal with the Seahawks for $ 2.99 million. At the end of his first season, he also won a bonus of $222,000 through the NFL Performance-based pay program. In 2015, Russell Wilson signed a contract with the Seahawks for four years for $87.6 million. This contract was ultimately extended in 2019 by the Seattle Seahawks for another four years. This time, the worth of the contract was around $140 million. Following this, when he was traded to the Denver Broncos, he signed a 5-year $245 million contract on September 1, 2022. However, the two seasons at Broncos witnessed only a subpar performance from Russell Wilson. He was eventually benched for the last two games of the season. It was notified that the reason behind the action was to &#8220;preserve financial flexibility.&#8221; His contract with the Broncos includes a $37 million payment for 2025. This would become guaranteed if he is unable to pass the physical test. While the squad has reportedly asked him to revisit this clause in the contract and change it, sources have revealed that Wilson has declined the same. To further add pressure, it was reported that they allegedly threatened the QB to bench him for the same. Now, as the team prepares to make a decision, two scenarios might play out. One, if Broncos and coach Payton decide to trade Wilson, it will result in a $85 million cap charge. Additionally, the $39 million in guaranteed money in 2024. Two, if they decide to keep him, the cap number is $90 million over two seasons, and an additional $37 million due in 2025.
