    Are we headed towards cap hell?

    The way we structure contracts, along with a few roster construction safeguards, I cannot see any possible way where we experience "cap hell" anytime in the next 5 years.....or at least as long as PC/JS are around. They refuse to overpay and spend out of emotion for any player or any position...

    Cary Williams a Seahawk (It's Official)

    The good news about both CB signings is that they do not count against comp pick equation. The good news from the Maxwell signing is that we should get a 3rd round comp pick....

    Why free agency is so important for SB rings...

    Thank you, but I was already aware that good teams make good roster decisions, and bad teams make bad roster decisions. What you say is true, but is painfully obvious. Maybe a discussion as to WHY certain teams consistently make bad decisions. Or maybe what separates good organizations...

    Why free agency is so important for SB rings...

    So let me make sure I understand what you are saying...... Super Bowl winning teams make great decisions regarding how to spend money during the FA period? Non-Super Bowl winning teams make bad decisions concerning free agency? That is really special insight. Why do we need this thread?

    Julius Thomas rumors...

    Absolutely agreed - to the point where I would be willing to overpay (a little) to bring Thomas in for the next 4-5 years of the prime of his career. This one move would set everything up for a successfule offseason perfectly

    49ers OG Mike Iupati to sign with Cardinals

    Makes a ton of sense for the Cards - scheme fit, plus huge need. I thought Iupati was a lock to resign with 49ers a few months back....my how things change quickly

    Seahawks linked to CB Davon House

    I would really like a House signing, but the way FA is going, and the lack of available CB depth available, I am afraid someone will overpay. House fits what Seattle does very well, but he is a perfect depth guy. Someone who could possibly contribute in a year or two.....but I am not sure he...

    Terry Blount and 8 FAs the Hawks may be in on

    Not a chance on Iupati - seeing what Hudson is rumored to be signing for, and the range of figures thrown around for Iupati so far in FA speculation, very little chance Seattle spends 8-10 million per year for a player that may not even fit into the teams zone blocking scheme. Knighton is the...

    CB dilemma. keep maxwell or pick up Cromartie ?

    Coach Carroll's requirements? or our assessment of his requirements? Rumor has it that Seattle is linked to Cary Williams and Tramon Williams. Here are a few potentially lower cost options...... Davon House - 31 7/8 arm length. Ran a 4.5 40. 6'1", big hands, press coverage experience...

    Clive Walford - TE Consideration for the Seahawks?

    I am a huge fan of Walford, and depending on what happens with FA, he seems like a potential Seahawks draft target. The only problem is that he may not make it to the Hawks second round selection The tape of Walford reminded me a bit of the USC tape of Anthony McCoy. Just for kicks, I...

    CB dilemma. keep maxwell or pick up Cromartie ?

    I didn't know that those were the only two options?

    Byron Maxwell has deal with Eagles

    Agreed - I thought there was little (zero) chance Seattle would sign him, simply based on the amount of money tied up in the secondary already. Maybe after meeting with Cary Williams, and looking at the FA CB landscape - mainly Tramon Williams - they realized that they would have to overpay...

    How do you guys feel about the 2015 team before FA/Draft?

    There is no question that the team will look at FA through the lens well beyond just the 2015 season, but with eye toward 2016 and beyond. Looking at salary cap obligations for 2016 and 2017 - especially with some dead space falling off, and a few contracts coming due - this could be an...

    Wild Idea.....

    I understand that what follows is a crazy, way outside the box idea. I am not sure it is a move I would support, but I think it provides for some interesting discussion. And because no one would believe it could happen, it might just happen. Here is the idea: Trade up into the top of the...

    NFL Media Version Seahawks Draft (video)

    Not bad at all on the offensive side - but I would prefer the two players they passed over. I would be ok with who they picked, but would much prefer Beckham-Green and Erving. If we came away with those two players in round one and two, it would be amazing

    Wayback Machine - Milwaukee's Journal rates Safeties (Earl)

    Earl is a drastically different person today then the person we drafted in 2010. Not only has he learned a ton, and grown leaps as a player, but he has matured as a person. I remember when he was drafted by the Seahawks, he looked pissed that he was going to Seattle. We did not hear much of...

    Attributes that make #1WRs for the Hawks ?

    Again - and I have asked this question, along with others, and the question has been ignored. Who has EVER suggested that we do not need an upgrade at WR? Show me who said this? Show me anytime someone on this board has said that we do not want/need an elite WR?? I can show you a number of...

    The reason Norwood is just a #5 to #2WR

    Who on here has EVER said that our WR position does not need an upgrade? Again, no one disagrees with what you are claiming. Not sure who you are arguing with We disagree with how you get to your conclusion - The Broncos last year, the most prolific passing attack in the history of the game...

    The reason Norwood is just a #5 to #2WR

    1) I am not sure that ANYONE on this board has every suggested that WR is not a position of need. If people do not agree with your evaluation, this does not mean that they are against upgrading the WR position. They just question your premise, not your conclusion 2) Your number one WR...
