man that alot of money makes me wonder about asj

Meh.

I bet that price includes incentives, and really only means we can excuse ourselves from him, after the first year.

A good signing, especially looking at who is left on the street. Yikes. This allows Vannett to catch some balls, as well as work the Y, at times. Also, we could draft someone and let them battle it out with Swoopes in TC.

Good signing...not flashy, but who cares, Dickson can block big time.

Hopefully he'll be closer to a Zach Miller and help with blocking and the run game.

true he can block.. those stats though :shock:

What a garbage signing for virtually the same amount they could have landed ASJ for. Ohh and this move also cancels out the comp pick we would have received for #88. Smdh

Not that excited about this move.

What a dumbass move to pay that!! The guy never earned over $2M per season in his prime, and now at 30 they double that? ukeface:

You guys want to fix the run game?

This will help. Massively.

He is a very good blocker and hasn't missed a single game in 5 seasons.

Great pick up!

You guys are hilarious, why not wait to see the actual details of the contract before freaking out.

Zach Miller didn't have stone hands.

14 million MAX value...

probably unlikely he gets anywhere near that

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I was thinking close to minimum salary.

I don't doubt his blocking ability. I question overpaying for the player, a tendency we have had in the past in FA that helped put us squarely where we are today though! :141847_bnono:

All depends on how the contract is written.

My guess would be that the $14 Million would include $2-$3 million of incentives. Low year one base. Could cut after year one (thus the fully guaranteed year one salary).

Lets wait for details before comparing this deal to the ASJ contract. Would have liked ASJ on team, but understand the reasoning on not signing him.

But you don't know we've over paid.

Nobody does.

This front office is Mad. They started off so good to only shit the bed theses last 3 going on 4 years. Track record currently sitting at 20% good moves to 80% terrible. JS just needs to go at this point.

Seahawks fans - "our run game sucks"

- Seattle signs a blocking TE that can also catch -

Seahawks fans - "Ed Dickson? Yuck!"

If he earns that $14M in 3 years or anywhere close I do.

I wished I shared this type of homerism. I'll be shocked if this team does better then 7-9 this year. Season ticket holder since 2009.
