Lockett's dead money is huge though.

It's correct, which is why this only makes sense if we are actually rebuilding. We need to bring in a lot of youth and clear dead cap this season, then we can get back to always compete in 2023.kidhawk":193be0ol said:Salary cap question....
Without looking, I assumed we'd be saving money even though we'd have to take a hit for dead money. I just looked it up, and if I am reading it correctly, he's currently looking at a $24 million cap number with salary and bonus for Denver and a $26 million dead money hit on our cap. So after figuring dead money we would have added in to his contract money we are saving $11 million in cap space, but Denver is actually taking a smaller hit at $24 million to have him on their team, then we are taking to trade him away.
Is this correct?

And likely in 2023 due to the 5th year option we'll be able to extend him to a long-term team friendly deal.Steve Hawk":3ewkkqu1 said:Noat Fant

Two firsts, two seconds and a fifth.
We gave them Russ and a fourth.
IF PC & JS can use these picks wisely, we will be OK.
What in the last 8 years says they will use them right.
Jordan Brooks and D.K. were certainly hits. Though, I still wish they'd drafted Jonathan Taylor instead of Brooks.

Passing over Creed for Eskridge or Penny over Chubb pretty well invalidates a lot of their hits. Those two wasted picks would've given PC and RW the players to run Pete's O very effectively. I'm fully prepared for the 5th round pick to be the best player of this haul.
There was $13M of dead money that had to be accounted for this season anyway. Wilson's $24M salary for 2022 is going to the Broncos. The Seahawks save that $24M. However, there is $13M of dead money that was going to be accounted for in 2023 that will now be accounted for in 2022. The Seahawks are still $24M better off but effectively it's $11M this year and $13M in 2023.kidhawk":2olimno7 said:Salary cap question....

Lock a horrible QB
2 no name players
2 1sts
2 2nds
And a 5th
Hmm well I will root for Hawks as always, but welcome to loosing for the next 3+ years.
Fyi the trade is pending Wilson's approval. He had nothing to do with this. This is all PC.

Maybe I'm negative nelly but this Franchise just took a huge gamble on Wilson not being as good as his career numbers indicate.
I can only speculate that behind closed doors, his unhappiness was on full display.

why would we boo the 3rd string QB?
