Winfield Visiting Seattle UPDATE:Who knows anything amirite?

[HawkWow]

I would be ecstatic to bring Winfield aboard but he would have to want championship over money for such a deal to happen. I've read that he is asking for somewhere around 7 mil (per year!) and I don't see JS offering that. Unless he's squandered his years of NFL money, he should be equally happy with 5 mil and a ring, IMO.

It's no wonder he is scheduled to visit the Skins. Only Snyder (and Jerry Jones) throw money around as recklessly as that.

Highly doubt he's offered $5 mil. IMO he will sign with us for $3 million.

I approve this message.

Considering he made his mark by offering great run support...offering half of his asking price would, IMO, be fair compensation. Our opposition won't have the luxury of running the ball after halftime, so the math works. Let's get it done JS!

any more news/rumours on this from the locals? thought today was the day

 

[The Outfield]

Clayton believes Seattle may take the stance of waiting until after the draft to make a decision on bringing someone like Winfield in to compete for the nickelback position assuming the dynamic duo isn't sold on anyone in the draft or on their current roster.

Ed Werder just said something along the lines of this on NFL 32: "Winfield was in Seattle all day yesterday and I've been told there is mutual interest, I expect negotiations to start soon."

pls.

Besides, I don't think he'd be available after the draft at this rate.

Vikings fans are going to absolutely melt down if this actually happens.

One of? Winfield joins NFL's already best secondary and makes it legendary.

 

[Seahawksfan425]

I had a dream it happened this morning, then I woke up and checked .Net and nothing was there. Maybe it'll happen soon!

This is exciting news. Between Winfield and Thurmond, we can keep both guys fresh at that nickel CB spot, and we can even move Thurmond around and let him sub for Browner or be a fourth corner. The secondary on this team is incredibly deep at the corner position. Just shore up the safety position, and this is the best secondary in football by a fairly good margin, in my opinion.

 

[The Yugoslavian]

ESPN is reporting that Winfield and the Seahawks are very close to reaching a deal!

i am a born and raised buckeye and this could not make any more happier! this is the bow on my football birthday present with all the other toys in the box this offseason! my 4 and 6 year olds are doing backflips! we love our hawks! ,

Just to keep expectations in check...

Ian Rapoport‏@RapSheet14m
Getting questions on Antoine Winfield and the Seahawks. I know there is mutual interest. But source says "just talking" not imminent.

Per the Flynn deal, "imminent" means a week. Can't imagine how long "not imminent" means.

That's Sando's picture, but Ed Werder wrote the article.

That's Ed Werder. How much do we trust him?
