Russell Wilson's contract headaches may have affected his love life.
Eonline.com is reporting that the Seattle Seahawks quarterback and girlfriend Ciara are taking a break from their month-long-plus relationship.
Russell Wilson unwilling to accept Colin Kaepernick-type deal from the Seattle Seahawks
"A source just revealed to E! News that 'things have gone a little rocky' between the pair. As a result, they are taking a little break in their relationship. 'They haven't broken up yet,' the source explained. 'But things are not looking good.'
"The news may come as a shock to loyal fans that have been following the new couple closely in recent weeks."
Russell Wilson angry tweets a sign that breakup with Seattle Seahawks is inevitable?
Bossip.com posted an ominous tweet from Ciara as well. It didn't directly address her relationship with Wilson.
Wilson has been preoccupied with his negotiations with the Seahawks on a new contract. The North Carolina State/Wisconsin signal-caller has guided Seattle to two Super Bowl appearances in his first three seasons, and three playoff appearances total.
He led the Seahawks to a 43-8 romp over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII and was one yard away from making it back-to-back titles when he was intercepted at the goal line in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIX against the Deflategate-riddled New England Patriots in February, losing 28-24.
Wilson is seeking a contract in the neighborhood of the seven-year, $126 million deals that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler have.
Unlike Kaepernick of the rival 49ers, however, Wilson isn't willing to give his team the option of ending his contract at any time without penalty. He is looking for guaranteed money equal to or greater than that of Cutler's $48 million that was fully guaranteed.
So while Ciara has been tweeting about self-preservation, Wilson also has been tweeting about not letting the lack of appreciation by others letting him down.
It was presumed that Wilson was talking about his negotiations with the Seahawks but is Ciara included in his messages?
