Thanks for posting. But,that post by HawkMania is confused.

The pro rated cap charge generated by the original signing bonus is not refundable and is not cap avoidable.

The following offers clearer insight into cap and salary changes ..............



These are timely changes for a player that will have his 27th birthday on the 28th of this month while still trying to establish himself. He has a lot to overcome and prove. Good job by his agent and John Schneider in keeping his NFL dream alive for one more try.

Does this mean we will be inclined to keep him?

It's early.

There is an all new coaching staff to get to know ........ for the players and fans alike.

We'll find out as the staff and players write their story for the 2024 campaign.

It's a process.

I was on the record two years ago saying that I wish they'd cut Eskridge instead of Bo Melton. I was finally right for once.

Seahawkss tried to hide Melton, their 2022 7th round pick, on the practice squad. The Packers claimed him in 2022 and placed him on their active roster.

Milton had his break out game in December of his second year. Nice. There are so many receivers to chose from each and every year.

Seahawks have yet to see their 2021 fly sweep pick establish a break out role on offense. A new coaching staff will bring a fresh look at what Eskridge has to offer. Perhaps a new offense will field an important role before time runs out. Eskridge surely must be feeling a healthy sense of urgency.

Ya know, at this point I'd rather just see him gone. But if this lights a fire under his ass and he stays healthy and actually becomes productive, I won't complain.

It's painful for me to even think of Eskridge. He was our first pick in the 2021 draft, a draft where we didn't have a first rounder and only 7 picks overall and who do we draft? We side step Creed Humphrey, the best player available and at a position of need, and instead reach for a wide receiver where we already had two Pro Bowl players.

We fans watch from a different vantage point. Player and coaches with skin in the game are more gritty in working thru both injury and performance challenges. And at this point in time, the process is building a 90 man off season roster.

It's early in the process.

True.

Understandable, succeeding campaigns might have brought superior success and outcomes.

2021 was Shane Waldron's first year as offensive coordinator. The fly sweep was a featured part of the wide zone offense Shane worked toward installing in Seattle. Unfortunately, it was a bit late as league defenses adapted to dealing with fly sweeps and outside zone concepts. It was a wicked fly sweep collision that initiate a series of Eskridge injuries.

Covid 19 degraded scouting opportunities for both the 2020 and 2021 drafts. Schneider was upfront about making adjustments to how they used their draft capital in those two year. Much of the understandable fan anguish over those drafts was the result.

Scouting and drafting practices appear to have returned to pre Covid performance. Although, I'm hearing speculation that another pandemic scare is scheduled for no later than 2025.

I've always been with everyone else in wanting rid of Eskridge, but at this point, let's just give him this make or break year and maybe we'll get some production out of him. He's going to have a fire lit under his butt because if he fails this season, he's probably out of the league.

Seahawks won’t be cutting Dee Eskridge ahead of free agency

The Seahawks won’t move on from the 2021 second-round pick just yet.

I think its important to send a message to EVERYBODY "if your playing for us and head down that road of nagging injuries, you will be cut". Adams, Mono and Eskridge. The days of taking up a rost spot and drawing a paycheck are over.

Cheers

So many whiffs on drafts, and I get why they went after some players but this guy, Dee Eskridge, was a complete head scratcher when they drafted him to me.

I mean, why take him so early, especially when his college tape didn’t suggest he would be great anyways….

I get JSN (awesome pick), I get McDowell, I get LJ Collier, I get Rashaad Penny, I get Christine Michael, I get trading for Percy, trading for Leonard, I get trading for Jamal Adams, I get all that….but drafting Eskridge was such a reach and a luxury pick that one is probably the worst move IMO because the needs for other positions were so blatantly obvious but they wanted a very limited receiver….I just don’t get….they must have thought they were getting the next Tyreek Hill or something close to a similar Percy Harvin….

I don’t know what Carroll and Schneider was thinking with Dee Eskridge…I mean why, why why why why why why!!!!!!

Exactly. If i recall correctly nick Bolton was on the board, and we knew the need was coming for LBs in our immediate future, and eskridge just is a big nothing burger.

 

[SPOHAWK]

Its funny because I know how this goes...If...Big if he becomes a great return guy or niche player and does well, we'll all be saying...I knew it, I knew it...lol

The ghost of CJ Procise lives!

Could still be a camp cut..lets hope so..

Every time I watch the Chiefs I'm reminded of this disaster.

At least it appears he'll be able to compete. He has had horrible luck so far it would be crazy for him to emerge only after Pete Carroll was "promoted".

Would that be ironic?
