Wonder if Geno will follow him......

Tampa has a top 5 OL, top 10 defense, Evans/Godwin. Another RB and TE, they can win with Geno.

Geno was also born and raised in Florida

They are also dead last and in hole in cap space.

Canales was the 1 coach I didn’t want to lose

$35 mil in cap space to write off for Tom Brady. That mortgage has come due for the Buccaneers. That's $10 mil more than the Russell Wilson dead cap payoff in 2022.

Are Evan/Godwin worth $20.8% of the Buccaneer's cap? Plus a lot of future void years on the books for both those receivers.

Congratulations are in order for Dave Canales. Patience pays off.

Seahawks will be fine. The ageless Carl Smith is still very active. And Sanjay Lal will continue as their Offensive Passing Game Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach. The front office has known of the eventuality of this opportunity for Canales.

Nice catch. Looks right.

It might very slightly increase the chances of Geno moving on, because you always want to work with people you're comfortable with, but I still think he ends up staying here. Honestly, I'm on the fence about Geno anyway, so I'm not going to be throwing chairs in my living room if he leaves.

Good for Canales. It feels like it's been a while since a Seattle assistant has left for a significant promotion elsewhere in the NFL. I could be wrong.

And one thing about Pete is that he not only has no problem with his guys moving on to another situation, he will welcome it.

Apparently Brad Idzik (assistant wide receiver coach) will also be leaving to join the Bucs.

“It’s cool for Dave, and Brad Idzik is going to go with him to be the wide receiver coach down there,” Schneider said. “It’s a cool deal for those for these guys and we’re really happy for them.” https://sports.mynorthwest.com/1740475/john-schneider-show-seahawks-gm-qbs-breaks-coach-news/
