Bruce Irvin

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Likely to be a cap casualty in Oakland. He's been saying a lot of good things about the hawks and Ken Norton Jr lately.

If the price is right I think he would be ideal LB/Pass rush depth. Thoughts?

For the right price I’d take him back and hope he has gotten better at finishing plays.

Bruce Irvin... maybe at this right price (which would be league minimum) His motor only runs certain downs and he’s kind of a knucklehead with foot in mouth disease. Never became a “Professional” athlete.

I remember Raible saying a time or two , Bruce no ........ but he was still good enough that we could use a guy like him right about now
Claytons saying it's likely gonna take five or six maybe even 8 a year to keep him but I bet we could get him for five as a third down pass rush guy

No thanks.

I want this team to get younger on defense, not sign an ageing vet.

Unless it's a low number, no thanks. I always saw him as a very overrated/inconsistent player really. That being said, if he's will to take a lower number to be back here in Seattle, it's worth a look.

It'd be great, but I think at this stage his best value will be to a true 34 defense as an OLB pass rusher.

Agree in a sense, however with the amount of draft picks we have.. and the holes on this roster .. they will have to add a few vets to round up the roster. Bruce wouldn't be a bad vet to add, but as others have said, he'd have to come cheap. Don't really see that coming with a lot of teams needing to spend money this FA period.

McKenzie says today that Irvin isn't going anywhere.

IMO almost 10M a year is a lot to pay for 8 sacks and a guy who is every bit as inconsistent as he was here.

Hes staying, and was on Twitter today asking people to send him Mo Wilkerson's handle.

Him along with Mack, and Mo..... Good lord.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Their D sucked, yet again. I'll worry when I actually see real Defense in Oakland.

Here's an interesting idea.

First as a Seattle fan would you want to trade Michael Bennett for Bruce Irvin straight up?

Second is that a realistic trade for both teams? I feel like Seattle would be taking on a lot more of Irvin's cap hit than Oakland would Bennett's. So maybe the numbers just don't work. However I think the players are a perfect swap for the teams...
