Quarterback Russell Wilson took a minute out of his busy day to announce his huge deal with the Seattle Seahawks via a tweet, while in bed with his wife Ciara.
Wilson jumped to Twitter on Tuesday night to tell the city, “Seattle, Let’s get it,” the New York Post reported.
Tweeting a video from bed, Wilson said on the attached video, “Hey, Seattle, we got a deal,” before noting that he would talk more about it after he woke up.
“I’m going to see y’all in the morning,” Wilson said on the video. “Time for y’all to go to bed.”
