Russell Wilson Can Still Fall Back on a Baseball Career With the Texas Rangers (if he wants one)

It is pretty safe to say that Russell Wilson has a job with the Seattle Seahawks as their quarterback for as  long as he wants it. After winning a Super Bowl last season and getting the team in a position to make a run for the big game again this year he'll have to become someone the New York Jets wouldn't even sign to get cut.

But just in case he decided to play baseball...

The Texas Rangers are keeping a spot warm for him:

Respect: To make sure they don’t lose Russell Wilson in Rule 5 draft, #Rangers intend to protect him on their AAA roster.

You know, because they were so good last season they can spare a spot on the roster for someone that will never play.
