Aldon Smith visiting Seattle? UPDATE Has signed 1 year deal

[Cyrus12]

I say yes, but knowing our teams luck he will get busted for something..I think this would be a good signing and he wouldn't be an opposing team crushing Wilson for a change.

Not shocked at this in the slightest, hell we tried to trade for him last season.

 

[James in PA]

It would be nice to have him on our side for a change. Who could forget that forced fumble and recovery he made against Russ on the first play of the 2013 NFCCG. What a sinking feeling that was.

I agree that ensuring we don't have to play against him might be enough reason to sign him alone!

Would be a great pickup to pair w Dunlap

It depends on the contract and team goals for the draft. If there intent is to draft O-Line with the first pick and possibly 2nd pick, then I say yes. If they intend to draft more defense at the exclusion of our O-Line needs, then no.

There will be some quality O-Line FA's let go in June, July and August. I would hope we have left enough cap room to add if the opportunity presents itself. But that is just me. We will see.

5 sacks in half season......loads of potential. Did he get injured in Dallas?

 

[Maelstrom787]

Do it.

They aren't winning in the playoffs without a stellar rotation, and Aldon has cleaned his life up tremendously.

 

[TwistedHusky]

This should be a no-brainer.

Would rather have Clowney but that ship seems to have sailed.

Is he better than what we have now? Absolutely.

 

[pittpnthrs]

All for this. Would be a nice signing. Like KF said, grab Aldon up and let the the remainder of the attention be spent on the Oline.

The team was interested in acquiring him from the Cowboys last season.

He'd be a replacement for Irvin and a situational rusher. I'd be happy adding him as the team would then have a very strong cadre of pass rushers.

 

[hox]

Last year there was no pass rush until Dunlap showed up. This year, the pass rush could be very good.

He had 4 sacks in the first 3 weeks. 3 against the Seahawks then 2 sacks in the other 13 games.

I would like to see him added to the pass rush rotation.

 

[John63]

I agree he would be great to add to the rotation, even if all he does is draw double teams that could help the others.

 

[purpleworld]

Bring him in...would be a huge upgrade for the pass rush and allow us to focus on other positions in the draft!

 

[jammerhawk]

I really want to see this deal done as the improvement to the pass D would be significant and a genuine depth at pass rusher created. Pressure on the opposing QBs will genuinely help the DBs and make their job easier.

I don't really understand it.

According to this site
LEO= Taylor, Robinson, Mayowa
LDE = Dunlap, Hyder, Collier
And Green reassigned as a DT, I guess Hyder, and Collier are also slated to slide inside on pass rush situations.

I guess they could redux the strategy from last year where Bruce Irvin was an LB. Yep, yes if he is willing to sign for 1 or 2 million, count me in. The troubles in his past can't be forgotten.

Give me Smith, Sherm, AB, and BPA in the draft I could count them as contenders for the crown. ANd if that BPA happens to be Landon D. :greetingsearthling: :les:

 

[hawker84]

Yes please.

That depth chart is screwy. Dunlap played Leo last year.

Aldon Smith played at 280 last year. He'd be able to rush from several spots.

1 year deal incoming.

Welcome to Seattle.
