Maybe all is not right between Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks.

The two sides have been locked in ongoing extension negotiations that once were reportedly close to completion and now look far apart.

Well, if you take Wilson's most current tweets, these contract talks might be affecting his view of the team.

The tweets don't reference the Seahawks but they could be a subtle jab at management.

That latest tweet, which references "lack of gratefulness and respect," is especially eye-opening.

When the offseason began, it appeared that an extension for Wilson, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, would be somewhat of a formality. But there reportedly remains a significant gulf in the negotiations.

Earlier this month, ESPN reported the Seahawks were offering a deal in the $80 million range, which is not close to the $120 million extension that was reported earlier in the offseason.

Wilson has led the Seahawks to consecutive Super Bowl appearances and has made the Pro Bowl in two of his first three years in the league.

Wilson hasn't missed a game during his three-year career, and has increased his passing yardage while lowering his interception totals each season.
