MSN: Trade Proposal Josh Jacobs To Seahawks

[hawksfansince90]

Jacobs was Raiders MVP and without him they were lucky to win 1 game. Led league in rushing. Hawks haven't had a RB like this since Beast Mode.

This Seahawks-Raiders trade proposal sends Josh Jacobs to Seattle

Seattle could offer their third-round pick and a fifth-round pick via the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2023 NFL Draft in exchange for Jacobs. Las Vegas would be happy to get some draft capital in exchange for Jacobs instead of potentially losing him for nothing in free agency next year. The Seahawks would have a dominant running back duo to lean on throughout the season, just as Carroll likes it.

No. Jacobs is a nice RB, but not worth trading for when we already have K9 on our team. Good RBs can be had in the middle rounds of the draft.

It would probably take a 2nd round pick to acquire him, and he would be on the sideline most of the time. Waste of resources. We could significantly improve our team using that pick on a position of need like OC, WR, OG, DE, DT, S, CB, or next in line TE.

 

[Scout]

Jacobs is a pure ALL pro RB and instantly makes the team better. The problem is compensation of course and cap space.

 

[seabowl]

Trade for and pay for almost never works out. Plus, we just don’t have the money.

 

[nwHawk]

He would make this team deeper and better, but all things considered, mainly salary considerations, I would pass.

Improve the defense.

 

[sutz]

I'm down with drafting an RB or two on Day 2/3.

 

[CPHawk]

Where would the cap space come from?

 

[toffee]

Is he better than Bijian?

don't worry, we can't afford jacobs. here's an article you might like on bijan and his fit in seattle

That's a hell of a lot of draft capital (third-round and fifth-round picks) for an expensive one-year rental ($10.091M).

You basically just named every position on the team except QB and RB.

The problem is that everyone says you can just pick up a great RB in the later rounds or undrafted . Except that Seattle has been clearly undermanned at the position and guys like Homer and Dallas
Aren't able to pick up the slack.

I named all the positions that we need that can be had in the 2nd round as opposed to using a 2nd round pick on Jacobs. Yes I didn't list QB or RB in the 2nd round because it doesn't make sense, unless Hooker falls to the 2nd round. There are going to be good RBs in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

Please explain how you think trading a 2nd round pick for Jacobs who is in the final year of his deal would play out long term? Contract wise, playing time, and why he would choose to re-sign a long term contract with the Seahawks as a rotational RB.

Just draft Charbonnet in the second or someone a bit later (I like Chase Brown out of Illinois).

This team is not close enough to justify using draft capital on a one-year rental.

I'm not saying how it would play out. I'm not advocating for trading a 2nd for Jacobs and his 10M contract.
Maybe a later round and they renegotiate for a 2 year deal? IDK
My take is that finding an outstanding back half way through the draft is pretty tough . This past season Seattle was once again injured at RB and they suffered. Seattle is supposed to be a run first team and they need 2 solid RBs.

IMHO

The way you responded to my post, was like you wanted to trade for him. Then I asked you on how trading for would play out and you can't because it doesn't make sense. At least provide a solution to improve our RB depth. If you are going to debate, have a solution to the problem. Take some time and look at the top-15 rated RBs in this draft and then you will have a better idea of how to attack the RB depth.

We all know we need better depth at RB, but again there are good RBs in the 3rd and 4th round. I think you just need to take the time and watch the RB prospects.

I made a statement that alluded to Seattle's problems having RB make it through a season and the benefit of having 2 good ones. My "solution"really doesn't matter . Sounds like my take might differ from yours.

That's ok right ?

Or do I need to go look at film?

So you want to complain about a problem with no possible legit solution? Your solution does matter if you are trying to debate someone. Your take about us needing better depth at RB is the same as every Seahawks fan.

 

[renofox]

This would be a horrible move.

Not as bad as the JA move, but not that far off either.
