Organization is cheap

Ycrew · Mar 9, 2026

The organization has a lot of money to spend on to it's players, yet they are so cheap.

I think Walker got overpaid, but the prices that Bryant and Mafe got, were very close to what the team should had paid for FA.

Lucas and Cross and Sam is paid. Is the organization just going to save up money to pay JSN and Spoon?

If this is the case, I would feel bad for the players that did get drafted and are not stars like Spoon or JSN.

It’s a business

Walker got overpaid
Mafe got overpaid
Kobe Bryant got overpaid

Good for them, those were good business moves by all parties except the signing teams

Not signing Lockett was rougher than any of these

You do realize that the free agency period lasts longer than one day??!

outside of walker who was part of a 2 headed beast... and BARELY Bryant we let backups walk so far. Ty Okada had 8 starts (hence why i said barely)

Walker split time with Charbs
Mafe was 4th in the depth chart and stats
Bryant iirc split starts with Ty Okada. Ty Okada started 8 games this yr

Mafe got $3m per career sack. Not worth anywhere near $20m to the team. Coby is a maybe, but Okada did just fine when he was out.

If the Hawks didn't win the Superbowl, then they would get paid for a lot less which would be unfair.

They have extensions coming up on a cornerstone CB and the leagues WR1, and they've got a staff that makes stars out of young guys.

We can't extend an entire roster to large contracts. Extend stalwarts, cornerstones, and select role players and next-man-up the rest. It's THE way.

Mafe is definitely worth the value than Nwosu.

And they still kept Nwosu who was injured for 2 years in a row.

Why do you feel sorry for players who got to learn their craft, in what is appearing to be one of the best developmental organizations in the league, while on the same contract they would be on if they ended up on any of the shit teams who wouldn’t give them the same opportunity to develop to their fullest potential?

We gave them the opportunity to be the best they can be, maybe even appear better than they actually are, then go out and get a contract commensurate with their newly perceived value.

I think any college player would kill for that opportunity.
Meanwhile we get to evaluate them better than any other team and keep the cream of the crop.

I like what they're doing so far. It's hard to sustain a long run in the NFL. You got to make tough decisions for the long haul. You can get in trouble pretty quick. Use the money wisely even when more of it is available. This franchise is not cheap.

Because players play their hardest and try to be successful, but they don't get re-signed with their team and have to rely on other markets.

Just like after Lynch was gone, the way Seattle treated their RB's was disgusting. Rawls Carson, Penny.

Personally, I’d like to see a return to the early Pete and John days where your job was never safe. It didn’t matter what your draft position was, or how much we were paying you. If someone came along and played better than you, you got replaced. It made Seattle a destination for hungry players.

Roster churn baby!

You don’t field a good team with good backups by overpaying everyone.

I speak for everyone when I say calm down.

Players play their hardest to get that big bag of a second contract. They aren’t here because their childhood dream was to play for the Hawks.

Guys are lucky, and happy, to be drafted and developed by this org, to then go out and sign big contracts with other teams.

You got a problem with the thread?

Seahawks are signing most of their own players first. That's the way to keep winning championships. The ones they have lost went because of the money. Glad the Seahawks are staying fiscally responsible.
