Contract Extensions

[EverydayImRusselin]

Now that they draft is over, the seahawks are sitting on considerable cap space. I assume they have saved it for some new contracts. Who do you think they will extend?

I think KW, Mafe and Lucas get extensions. I don't think Woolen or Bryant do.

I don't think giving KW an extension right now makes sense for either side. We need him to show he can stay healthy before committing, while he's looking at a much bigger payday next year if he does, and he'd be selling low on himself right now. Franchise tag is a possibility for him next season if he does stay healthy, which isn't really prohibitive for RBs.

I'd be comfortable giving a good deal to Lucas. I think it's worth it to get our bookends locked up, even if it's a relatively big risk. I think that's a case where both sides would benefit from getting something done now.

I need to see more consistency from Mafe given what his position commands on the open market.

 

[James in PA]

I think they are in wait and see mode with Abe.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Def. wanna' wait on Walker and Lucas, if they can go a full season w/out an injury, get it done.

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

I think it’s more likely to ditch some dudes rather than reup without seeing any sort of progression before the season even starts - from a salary cap standpoint

I mean why not extend Noah Fant while we’re at it

 

[IndyHawk]

Extend KW?
Why does he deserve one? I'd rather trade him off for Taylor (Colts) instead.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Plus, he needs to be this year's whoopin boy, lord knows we get 'em every year on here

Yet another damn good player who gets blasted, often. Gotta' stay healthy, but his talent is damn good.
Then again, Charbs had a couple good games, so we clearly already have the next Derrick Henry.

Cross will likely be getting an extension. As will Mafe.

Wait and see on Woolen, K9, Lucas and Bryant

 

[Hawkinaz]

Maybe extend Cross I am thinking the Hawks might just move any extra money into 2026. The Seahawks are presently $34 million under the cap per OTC expect $10-15 million to go towards rookie and UDFA contracts which leaves $20 million not a huge amount

We see the talent that doesn't put up numbers... Which do not exceed his
rookie total.
Sure, injuries are a factor but we see this time and time again with other
ex Hawk RBs.
Time to change the "tire" so to speak.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He's a hell of a lot better than you give him credit for.

 

[Ostatehawk]

Martinez. I have faith in that guy. I think he will surprise.

 

[Ostatehawk]

And for the record I like KW a great deal - but agree we need to see more consistency. BUT----- how much of his inconsistency was scheme and crap offensive plan?
