TRADE ALERT!!! Leonard Williams to the Seahawks!

[rcaido]

Sweats contract has a base of 11.5 mil and cap hit of 6.5 (or something close depending on where you look). It would have required Commanders to eat his entire salary/cap as NYG did for LW. I think it's pretty easy to think this through and see JS was probably driving the truck on these DL trades considering the timing, like dominoes falling. He chose LW and it was probably because NYG were willing to eat the cap hit for this year and WaDC wasn't. This gives JS the flexibility to re-sign LW or not. To get Sweat, he'd have probably had to re-work some other cap space and also extend Sweat to fit in under the cap. It would have required a long-term commitment to Sweat and whoever else he restructured. It's logical to assume JS was the conductor behind it all and got what he wanted.

Or the Commanders just got the better offer LOL.

Nwosu will be back next year. We don't need Sweat like we need Williams.

What Williams is... is a run-stopping DT like Red Bryant was for our Superbowl team.

 

[rcaido]

Well, are the Bears paying a huge portion of the salary like the Giants are with Williams?

Im sure if Seahawks gave more draft capital, they would have eaten Sweats contract too. Its half the size of Williams.

Williams is the missing cog in the scheme we run

People are acting like we just traded for a ham sandwich. The player is really good.

What if I wanted a PBJ?

Sorry, that will cost a first.

Question is Leonard Williams a FA 2024?

Lil confused right now.

Don’t compare Sweat and Leonard. They don’t play the Same position. Leonard could, can play where Sweat can, but not the other way around. It’s not an app comparison at all. Leonard is not only a great fit schematically, but also can fill in for others rotationally.

I want a montage of JReed and LWill being besties in Seattle; riding bikes a little bit too small for them, getting icecream, beating up meth heads, catching salmon in their mouths at pike place like bears...

Someone tell Angry Doug I have an idea for his "Sound of the Seahawks", invite Michael Bennet to take them on the bike tour

Yes. UFA

 

[Woblyhawk]

We need D line that can rotate! We have very strong edge rushers.

Lol Chase Young to the Niners for a mid round pick

The trade now looks like a big over pay, we could have gotten Young or Sweat. Maybe even both.

 

[TransGenderHawkFan]

All the comments trying to justify this trade just shows that very very few of us would’ve made this trade. For a 29 year old DT entering the last year of a contract this was too much to give up.

The fact that you are blatantly ignoring all of the good points made in an attempt to justify your bias tells me that the team was correct in the trade. No worries, there will still be an April and it will be your time to shine.

Young is costing the Niners just 500K and the pick they're trading was a comp pick for having a minority executive signed away. They're already going to get a comp 3rd for McGlinchey, and decent chance Young gets them a good one the following year.

We're going to beat the sf levi strausses twice.

This is a moronic post!

There should be a veto trade blocker like in the NBA did w/ Chris Paul. How exactly did this help the Commanders. Out of 30 teams couldn't offer a better deal for Chase Young?

Trade Drew Lock.

You're sure of it? Ok
Experts everywhere..........Suck it up and pull for the guy we got.
