Take a breath my friend

My goodness😂
Well, I felt the same about Lawrence: Old guy off an injury, at a high top end contract number. These have rarely worked out in the past. I understand there is no reason to go into the Draft with $30+ mil of Cap Space still sitting there, but I reflexively gag at players on the wrong side of 30, and with an injury history to boot, get these sweeping deals. Always happy to be proven wrong.....

People are celebrating right now and I'm losing my ******* mind.
Meanwhile the OL is basically in a state where they need an anchor on the inside to guide and teach the young players to play. Hawks have a lot of young players with C and B level potential but you need an (A)lpha level player to be the anchor and to help guide them. Hard to find in the draft especially since drafting one in the first round has opportunity costs.

I think we are going to trade for a vet oline person. Then draft a couple too

Just hope the offensive line plays great in the new system. If the line is middle of the road good this team is dangerous.
I think the line will at be at least middle of the road. They won’t have to fight for their lives on broadcasted, long developing plays where the defense knows they’re passing. I expect a big jump even from just our guys from last year not to mention the new blood we will bring in. I’m pumped

A lot of OL trades already went down and post draft teams tend to make cuts. That is probably the real answer when the Hawks bring in a veteran OL.

Same here. IF he stays healthy and IF the real contract is 2/3- of the early numbers, this could be a great signing. I think the odds are against it, but will hold out hope that it turns out well.

I know this is counter what I said in an earlier thread, but I’m pumped.

I went to school with him at EWU. Very humble guy. Really excited he’s on the team and looking forward to what happens next. Go Seahawks!!

What does that have to do with signing Kupp?
