Seattle is probably betting that the sheer size of the contract is enough to scare away the Vikings.

It will and has been with what the Vikings did with the Hutchinson deal! That oked it this week. The Hawks put more salt in the wound yes and yes it was a big F-you! This kind of thing has open all kinds of doors! So will the Owners try to make changes to stop this kind of war? You know the players will not and must love this!!!
