The 2014 NFL Draft is a matter of weeks away and that means that teams are looking to stock up on draft picks and some are looking to add players to their squads, meaning they can use their picks elsewhere. The Seattle Seahawks and their quarterback Russell Wilson took some beating last year, running out as Super Bowl champions, and they've added Terrelle Pryor to be his back up. Is it a good move for the Seahawks, and will it cause tension, as Pryor will earn more money than the No. 1 quarterback?

The Oakland Raiders will receive a seventh-round pick, which will help to compensate for the late-round pick they traded for Matt Schaub earlier recently. Although Pryor and Schaub were terrible last season, they will provide their new teams with experience, and they've both come at little cost.

Russell Wilson has quickly become one of the stand-out quarterbacks in the NFL, and he's provided the much needed energy, determination and leadership the Seahawks deserved to win, however, as it's still so early in his career, he is on a relatively small salary. Pryor will earn $705k, whilst Wilson will earn $662,434, making him the 3rd-highest paid QB on the Seahawks' roster.

Could this cause any problems or will it be business as usual for Wilson and his team? It won't be long until the exciting quarterback is earning more in one month than his rivals are in one season, so perhaps the money will not matter, for this season at least anyway.
