    Seahawks have made offer to Mebane

    The one silver lining is that the draft is full of REALLY GOOD run stuffers this year. Mebane has declined the last couple of years...his game is not even close to the level that it was in 2011 and 2012. I like Mebane as much as the next guy, but his value now is such that he's not worth more...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    Regardless of whom I use for a hypothetical, my opinion hasn't changed...It's not a good idea for a coach/GM to be overly loyal to old guys who aren't playing as well and aren't staying healthy. The reason the Hawks won SB48 is because they wisely let a bunch of rookies take over the team in...

    After thinking about it, I'm rooting for Irvin to stay

    Reality: Irvin does not fit the Seahawks financially at this time. There is NO WAY they can pay him $10+ million APY...he will probably get between $10 and $11 million from another team. And it's not like this is a surprise to the FO. They knew this day would come, and although they will miss...

    Jimmy Graham Injury Question

    Just out of curiosity, could the Seahawks still re-negotiate a new contract with him and try to pay him less for this season?

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    My point was that even if Rawls totally outplayed Lynch in TC and preseason (kind of hard to prove yourself against someone who is allowed to come in and start in Week 1 without competing in TC or preseason), it would still have been impossible for Rawls to win the starting RB job from Lynch...

    Martellus Bennett IN Seattle???

    I just don't see that the Hawks FO would have any interest in Martellus. I don't like the idea of having two brothers both whining for more money every offseason. I think they should move up some money for Michael this year, but I think the whining is BAD for the team. There is no way they would...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    One of the biggest problems we've had in the last couple of years is that we have no room on the roster for new, young talent. Good example: Lynch gets injured early in the year, and the next man up is Rawls, and he kills it. Had Lynch not been injured, and had PC decided to give Michael or...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    Hope they can keep Lane and Rubin at the right price.

    Not a big fan of trading down this year

    I say let Okung walk...he'll be too expensive. Maybe re-sign Sweezy, but only if he's REALLY cheap. Then look at cut players first and then FA's after June 1 so they don't cost us any 2017 Compensatory Picks. Sign one or more of Kelvin Beachum, Jahri Evans and Mitchell Schwartz in Free Agency on...

    Man awful quiet,

    I believe that Compensatory Draft Picks have become a HUGE consideration for JS/PC. Losing 4 players to Free Agency every year will give them 4 extra draft picks the following year. As such, they will likely sign only cut players and/or FA's after June 1...if they sign FA's prior to June 1, they...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    Don't get me wrong...I wasn't implying that McQuistan and Bowie were killing it at Tackle. They were horrible. At the same time, Carpenter and Sweezy weren't much better in the interior. Wilson had ZERO pocket all year. Okung was still playing pretty well back then, but even Breno was horrible...

    1st Priority For The Seahawks

    I agree with some of your ideas, but I have a few comments regarding that strategy: first, JG has ZERO dead money left on his contract. If the Hawks cut him, they save a full $9 million, not $7 million. Given the circumstances of JG's injury, $9 million is a HUGE risk. It is a businees, and I...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    That's all true to an extent, but I guess the thinking is that in past years, Wilson was never really a QB who took command of his pocket. Whereas in the second half of last season, he suddenly became a "true" pocket passer, and he was VERY successful at it. The only problem with that was when...

    Pre-draft trades of Bruce & Kam even a slight possibility?

    Just wanted to point out that it wouldn't be a very good idea to trade Bruce Irvin. By letting him walk, we will most likely get a 3rd round Compensatory Draft Pick, just like the one we get this year for losing Byron Maxwell last year. I just don't think any team would be desperate enough to...

    At combine last year, Tyler Lockett advised to not continue

    Are you saying you have no devout believers in the Netherlands? I don't get the culture shock thing...in America, non-believers believe that believers are as you described them. Believers think non-believers are crazy. I keep an open mind...there's no reason to think they are crazy as long as...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    Most people are saying that RW is best at evading pass rushers that come in from the ends, so Tackles are not as important for the Hawks. Maybe Gilliam at LT and Britt at RT might not be a such a bad thing...Britt will be in his 3rd season and hopefully he finally shows some improvement. Glow at...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    This is the stuff I was hoping to hear. I just don't see Okung or Sweezy signing on the cheap with the Seahawks...someone will overpay them...and I think both have a lot more negatives than they do positives. I think there are alternatives out there that could give us a decent O-Line this year...

    Optimal scenario for our O-Line

    The reality is, our salary cap situation is not good! We have 31 total Free Agents this year, 17 of them UFA's. That means we only have 22 returning players from last year's roster. We will likely have $30 million in cap space. Most of the 14 RFA's and ERFA's have to be re-signed for about $10...

    Pre-Free Agency Mock draft

    Schwartz- $6 million Bradley- $5 million Rubin- $5 million Mebane- $5 million Simon, Whitehead or Galette- $7 million Line- $4 million 2016 Draft Class- $7 million Total- $39 million Including UFA's, RFA's and ERFA's, the Hawks have 31 Free Agents this year. That leaves them with only 22...

    Dream Scenario for the 2016 Offseason

    Osemele will probably get $10-13 million APY. If the Hawks sign him, they will basically not be able to sign any of their own top-5 FA's...Irvin, Okung, Sweezy, Mebane and Rubin...and probably not Kearse. They need to sign a couple of cheap guys that have been cut (young backups), or cheap...
