So it has been Schneider making these inflated deals all along lol. Pete has been vindicated!
Well…..This doesn't bode too well for signing Leonard Williams... because John has typically focused first on signing our own UFAs starting with the largest salary/cap space commitment. Williams is going to take roughly twice what we just committed to Fant.
It doesn't rule it out... but it doesn't look all that great right now.
Appropriately edited now.Well…..
This all day. Dudes a beast. We need to use him as such!!Good news. I think he's certainly worth that. I believe he's better than he has been able to show
Biting my tongue.
Paying Fant more than Brooks got certainly is a choice
This.Grubb likes to use his TE's and he chose this one.I'm good with it.
By my count, he was #23 last year... so I'd say he could certainly improve to #15 or thereabouts if Mac and Grubb choose to feature a TE in our offense.
To be fair he had 3 stud WR to feed. Westover had a solid season considering those 3 ate a ton of targets.His four TEs barely combined for 800 yards last season. Hope he likes to use them more than that.
Right back at you
^So fun to watch fan reactions. So excited to get rid of Pete and get Macdonald, then Grubb. Now we're questioning their decisions and haven't even seen a game let alone a preseason.
It's kind of underwhelming signing your guys that didn't light the world on fire when there were here, tbh. So unless they pull out a ton more draft picks this year, it's going to be an uneasy feeling going into next year.^
Guilty till proven innocent around here gawdammit !!
I don’t feel that statement is as dire as you make it sound. 1. I thought Fant at best from some cap happy team might have got closer to $15m per, I wouldn’t want the Seahawks to pay that. 2. Fant is also talented enough in the right situation, used correctly and effectively with enough targets, to cement himself as a top 10 TE.It's kind of underwhelming signing your guys that didn't light the world on fire when there were here, tbh.

Don't mean to sound dire. It's not a backbreaker resigning Fant, or anything. Guy really hasn't stood out in 2 different organizations? Maybe he'll have a breakout year this year?I don’t feel that statement is as dire as you make it sound. 1.

With that said it depends on if Grubb has a plan, he had so many talented WRs at his disposal and didn’t vacate his running approach that TEs weren’t a focal point. It feels that way here at first but who knows, projecting utilization and weighted worth is one of the hardest thing to settle on in the Arm Chair GM world. I do think the Seahawks might have prioritized Parkinson more and had to overpay/match with Fant it being a small pool TE market. However, it also feels like Fant was top 2-3 in available TEs and Seahawks also had to pay the price to not pigeon hole themselves into forcing a TE in the draft.
