According to Spotrac, Hasselbeck earned $62.9 million during his stint with the Seahawks.
3) Tyler Lockett, Wide receiver - $76,099,057
Tyler Lockett isn't the fastest wide receiver in the league or the biggest, or even the most talented. However, he's without a doubt among the most dependable.
Lockett has played in the NFL since the Seahawks selected him with the 69th overall pick in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has risen into one of Seattle's top two receivers in terms of receptions, yards and touchdowns over the course of his career and has constantly performed at his best during crucial situations.
Lockett has also earned a whopping $76 million in salary throughout his time in the NFL.
2) Bobby Wagner, Linebacker - $91,758,441
Bobby Wagner has left the Seattle Seahawks after a fantastic 11-year tenure. He was a core member of the 2013 Seahawks' team that emerged victorious in Super Bowl XLVIII.
Wagner has a solid reputation in Seahawks history. Moreover, he's the player with the second-highest contract income in club history. He made $91.7 million in total while playing for the Seahawks, according to Spotrac.
1) Russell Wilson, Quarterback - $181,362,520
There's no denying how highly rated Russell Wilson is among the Seattle Seahawks faithful. As the quarterback who guided the Seahawks to their lone Super Bowl victory, he undoubtedly ranks atop the list of all-time great QBs in franchise history.
Russell led the Seahawks to consecutive Super Bowl appearances but only won one, a 43-8 rout of a Denver Broncos team led by Peyton Manning.
When Wilson accepted a four-year, $87.6 million contract extension with the Seahawks in 2015, he was the second-highest paid player in the NFL at the time. He had already ascended to the top of the team's all-time earning record by the time he departed the Seahawks in 2022, having taken home an astounding $181.3 million in salary.
