    Ryan Neal

    With Love, Diggs, and Adams, on the team, Neal was going to be backup this year. With Neal 28, with a $2.6M hit, and us in some cap trouble, the more I think about this move, the more it makes sense. I'm holding out hope that we sign Neal back at a lower rate. But, if our safeties are Love...

    Ryan Neal

    This really sucks, but given our cap situation, it actually makes sense. Neal is a great player, and well worth the $3M tag. But it's one of the few moves we could make that saves on cap space.

    Carroll front and center at AR15’s pro day

    I know some people agree with you. Personally, I rank Young as one of the top 3-4 QB prospects the last few years (and still a distant second to Stroud this year). But, I tend to prefer film over measurables or the pre-draft experience, which is why I'm so high on Stroud and Young, and less...

    Carroll front and center at AR15’s pro day

    I can understand taking Richardson at #5. I'm not sure I love it, but I get it. If we give up #20 to move from #5 to #3 to draft Richardson, that's awful. Frankly, if we make that move, it better be because one of the top two QBs fell to #3.

    Seahawks sign LB Devin Bush according to Condotta

    Agreed. This was never going to be the highest impact signing, but I agree - this is more than I think we should have spent. $3M guaranteed for someone who is borderline starting LB with upside is probably above market value.

    Seahawks release Al Woods

    I'm also a bit surprised by this. He may have been the best player on our DL last year (excluding edge) and we don't save a lot from his release. We now have a huge need at NT (excuse the pun). I get that we want to be younger, more dynamic, more athletic, and frankly, newer on the DL, and...

    Possible Seahawks trade

    My hope is that we trade back and get a 2024 first as part of the trade. This trade wouldn't be ideal, but if my top 4 are gone (Anderson, Carter, Young, and Stroud), and my options are Wilson, Levis, Richardson, or this trade - I'm taking this trade and sleeping well that night. I'd rather...

    Seahawks sign LB Devin Bush according to Condotta

    I'm not sure that I would say Bush is better than Barton. Very different players. We also haven't seen the terms of the contract yet. I'm not yet sure if this is for the league minimum, or $5M with $3m guaranteed. I expect to learn those details in the coming hours.

    Seahawks sign LB Devin Bush according to Condotta

    We need bodies, and experience, at LB. He's still very young (24) and may have some upside left in him. I expect and hope that this is a low cost, low risk contract - in which case I like it. If this is a contact on par with what Barton got, or includes guarantees, or assumes that he'll be a...

    QB Drew Lock re-signed ( One-year deal)

    You're right. I initially misread the terms as 7.5M + incentives, not $7.5M with incentives. Assuming his incentives are stretch incentives, his base of $4M is perfectly reasonable and just fine by me. I'll edit my original post.

    What head scratcher at 5th?

    One of the third tier edge rushers.... In my mind, Anderson is a country mile ahead of the second tier. I've seen plenty of mocks with us taking Murphy or Wilson, which for me, are squarely in that second tier. And while I think either is a reach at 5, neither would shock me. I think the...

    Jalen Carter

    I think I'm in the minority here, but I'm still open to taking him at 5. I would agree that his risks, both around work ethic and off the field stuff, are bigger today than they were a month ago. For those reasons, I probably wouldn't take him at #1. But, I'm open to taking him at 5, and...

    Rashaad Penny to the Eagles

    Losing Penny hurts. Losing him for that price is devastating.

    Carter, Levis, or trade down?

    Drafting Carter at 5 is a big win. Trading down, for fair value, is probably a win. Drafting Levis at 5 is an oopsie doopsie.

    Thoughts on Geno's contract

    Sorry if already posted, but OTC has posted the breakdown of his salary, and it's a very team friendly deal: Only counts $10M against the cap in 2023!!! Can cut after one year at a total cost of $27.4M, with $17.4M of that as dead money in 2024. Can cut after two years at a total cost of ~$50M...

    This draft will be a Bust.

    I haven't scouted this draft as much as some others, but I think our views are pretty well aligned. I especially agree with your hope that we move down for a haul... My ideal is a to move back ~5 spots with a bad team in a deal that includes their 1st next year. But I digress. I'm...

    Haynes Re-signs

    I like the player and I'm glad he's back. But the key question is always about value. The team has a history of overpaying in instances like this. I'd bet that his contract is quite a bit higher than most are thinking; my money is on the $5M-$6M range. What this move does allow is for us...

    Who Will Be There At #5?

    I may very well be wrong (or even change my mind in the coming months), but to me, at first blush, Bresse is nearly a worst case scenario for us at #5. I'm a bit worried about previous injury including an ACL tear in 2021. I don't normally put a lot of stock in college stats, but for someone...

    The Hawks D vs. the Top 8 D: Asset Expenditure

    1- typo on my part. We have NOT drafted well on D. 2- I love your quote, "Play stupid games, like trading Franchise QB level assets for a box safety, win stupid prizes." Even if Jamal Adams had been what we hoped he would be, the value of the trade + contract makes the deal a stretch in my...

    The Hawks D vs. the Top 8 D: Asset Expenditure

    Great read. My takeaways: 1: We have NOT drafted well on the defensive side of the ball. I only see one player out of the eight listed who has given us a return on capital. However, I also only see one player who has generated a positive return on the investment (Brooks) and no homeruns...
