All is not well in Seahawks land right now.

First Percy Harvin was jettisoned to the Jets and then reports surfaced this morning that the team is ready to move on from Marshawn Lynch when his contract expires after the season. Now, another report is coming out of Seattle that says the Seahawks are reportedly not happy with the number of endorsement deals that Russell Wilson currently has.

The current champs headed into this afternoon's matchup with Carolina sporting a 3-3 record. Apparently, the organization is looking to scapegoat just about anybody for their mediocre start by chastising the quarterback who brought home a Vince Lombardi trophy just a season ago. Among the brands that Wilson currently endorses are Pepsi, Nike, Microsoft and Bose, to name a few. If the Seahawks want Wilson to cut down on his commercials, they should probably just give him a raise from the $660,000 he currently makes. This is after all a Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Just to put things into perspective, Seahawks backup quarterback Tavaris Jackson makes roughly about double of what Wilson makes. Pay the guy already!

Check out ESPN's Chris Mortenson's original report on the matter below and let us know if you think Wilson's endorsement deals are hindering his play on the field.
