Wilson spouting off on humanity of Antonio Brown is insulting and, yes, even DangerRuss
Further illustrating how the NFL has outlined our utter failure, if not caused it, was professional and self-appointed morality-sensor Russell Wilson clamoring for the Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown.

Russell Wilson's Next Contract Should Be A Doozy
Russell Wilson is entering a contract year, and he’s going to get paid.
