Bradford was terrible last week.I would have been on board with this move a few weeks ago, and I think he deserves another shot, but I don't think we should sign him.
At this point, I'm struggling to find ways to get our rookies, Bradford and Oluwatimi, onto the field. Both Bradford and Oluwatimi have played well enough to warrant serious consideration for more playing time, even with a healthy set of Lewis, Haynes, and Brown up front.
Bradford was terrible last week.
When a guy gets back up and just stands there when a play is still ongoing, or is looking around serenely not knowing who to block, it's beyond just rookie greenhood.The OL was terrible, and Bradford had some misses (including the final play) but I thought Bradford played well (especially run blocking).
I tend to trust my eye over PFF, but PFF ratings often provide some value.When a guy gets back up and just stands there when a play is still ongoing, or is looking around serenely not knowing who to block, it's beyond just rookie greenhood.
I don't dislike Fluker. But as it stands now, I believe the Hawks' only 2024 cap space is carry over from this year. I'm not sure it's worth it.
The numbers Sportrac shows are very different. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/cap/2024/The Seahawks currently have $19.6M in cap space next year with 40 players under contract.
If Jamal Adams isn't injured when the next offseason starts, the Seahawks can also create another $16.5M of 2024 cap space by designating him as a post-June 1 cut.
And I don't see how a for-the-rest-of-this-season vet-minimum deal for Fluker would have any effect at all on next year's cap, other than the dead money from moving on from some other interior lineman.
