    If I didn't know any better…

    I think Darnold, MSV and Kupp are all downgrades on Geno, DK and Locket based on 2024 performance. Of course 2025 might be different, Geno and Lockett could continue to regress (on the other so could Kupp). While I belive NOW our team is worse than last season I do not blame JS, we had to...

    2025 Mock

    Tre Harris dropped to 18, a position of need, even if not the greatest need, significantly BPA. I was reluctant to take Egbuku but when he went to R2 I decided to trade to get him or Zabel, when Egbuku went at 43 I traded up for Zabel. With Kupp and JSN mainly slot receivers Harris is a great...

    The WAY Too Early Favorite Player for Pick 18

    Or Trade forward, concensus drafts charts have him most likelty to go between 30 and 38, we could put together a 2nd and 3rd to pick in that range (and still have another 2nd and 3rd for later picks)

    Sam Darnold To Sign With The Seahawks

    We we had kept Geno our cap space this year would be worse but we would have a clean slate for 2026. If things go well the rookie we got in the later rounds of this years draft blooms into a start level QB on next to no pay and with no dead cap out toal QB budget might be under $2m. If things...

    Sam Darnold To Sign With The Seahawks

    But did Geno have to get an extention? I might be wrong but the Seahawks saved $31m in cap space by trading Geno. Darnold is reported on more than that in year 1 and while his cap hit is likely to be less than that isn't thart just pushing the problem back. If we want to keep Darnold the cap...

    Sam Darnold To Sign With The Seahawks

    I am not convinced. He isn't that cheap. Heading numbers are not everything but if we are paying him $110.5 and Geno $13.5 (in dead cap) that is a total of $123.5 cap space taken in 3 years or an average of $41m not much less than Geno was asking for. Is he a stop gap? If we are talking about...

    Do the Seahawks take a Q

    If the rumours about Darnold are true (I hope they are not) then I doubt we will draft one in rounds 1-5. Geno was an OK QB but getting on in years so we needed to look for a QB to replace him, given the draft options it would be unlikely we could get someone to perfom in 2025 but we could get...

    When will the Browns be able to cut Watson?

    Watson's contract is a bit of a one off. Highest paid payers are usually ranked on average income over the contract, but this is only paid in the player performs extensions can confuse things but I'll keep it simple. If a player doesn't perform you are throwing away the fully guaranteed salary...

    When will the Browns be able to cut Watson?

    In for last season Watson's Cap Number was $63m this put them in cap hell so they restructured it. The problem was the restucture resulted in a 2025 Cap number of $73. Now so they can put put a roster together for 2025 they have restructured again reducing that the cap hit to a manageable...

    Geno ain't goin' anywhere -

    I guess people prefer different things. If we keep Geno we know where we stand maybe unlikely to win a superbowl (say 1%) but about a 50% chance to make the play-offs. Very unlikely we would have less than 6 or 7 wins. If we dump Geno and take a rookie in the draft like Jaxon Dart then: We...

    Geno ain't goin' anywhere -

    If anything short of a SB is failure 31 sets of fans are disapointed every year are disappointed with a 3% chance to be happy I don't think I would enjoy the game. However you rate success I think we are more likely to win the SB / win a playoff game / make the play-offs if invest out 1st round...

    Geno ain't goin' anywhere -

    I understand his cap hit is $44m but if we cut him the dead money is $13m so in effect keeping Geno costs $30m. The alternatives are another proven starting level QB like Darnold for $45-$50. A back-up that we hope we can turn into a starter like we did with Geno (though Geno had been with the...

    Jaxon Dart combine workout

    I would be very surprised if Shough as startable immediately and Howel looked really bad last season when he did play. There is also the risk that if our O-line doesn't seriously improve he will be ruined by starting from the get go. If the strategy is to throw 2025 away get a high draft pick...

    Interesting…

    I am pretty sure all of them have the sense not to speak about such confidential matters in a place were anyone could overhear them. Any discussions on trades would take place behind closed doors, I expect they were talking benign.

    2025 draft steals

    Agreed but the point I am making is if someone is "likely to be a steal", they wont be a steal because they will be taken earlier. I can't remember but how many of those guys were being talked about as steals before the draft, I doubt any were? Our biggest steal, RW3, was considered a reach by...

    2025 draft steals

    I don't follow the college game much but I am wondering how you predict a steal. If you know someone is very likely to have an impact in the NFL then surely the scouts of NFL teams know that and they will be drafted high, with lower picks taken by those expected to have less of an impact or...

    Crazy, Early Poll for the 2025 Hawks

    While I am not as optimistic as some I don't see your "two big advantages" that we had last season. 1. According to this reports we were the 11th healthiest team last season, so better than average but not exceptional and we had several players out from the same position at the same time...

    2025 Mock

    Noone really knows, a lot will happen between now and the draft, and especially after the first round or so there is very little concensus about who will go where. This guy reckons Leonard will be a target for the Browns and 67 and you reckon he wil be an UDFA (or mayby 7th round). Nothing...

    Seahawks 50–1 odds to Win next year’s Super Bowl

    It takes account of everything that they (and the punters) know at the moment. It is known that we like every other team will make trades and draft players in the close season but not who everyone gets. If Sam Howell os our starting QB I suspect the odds will be somewhat longer if Josh Allen is...

    NFL to Play in Australia

    You have to wonder when the game will be played. Anytime on a Sunday US time will be a Monday in Austrailia and there are no Austrailian public holidays in the football seasson until Christmas. An evening game in Melbourne would be the middle fo the night in the US (at least the Eaast coast) I...
