Hawks bringing back Jarran Reed

[HawkRiderFan]

Wasn't there a weird circumstance about him leaving the first time....like it looked like they were going to restructure but then suddenly he was gone? Anyone remember? Glad to have him back.

I vaguely remember because I do recall being pretty excited… then was left with a “wth… where’d Reed go?”

$5+M per year???

Overpaid.

PCJS must not be liking the DEs in the draft?

They need to completely revamp the d-line, DE still on the table.

 

[Own The West]

It's great that Reed is back but is he fit? He was mostly the Seahawks LDT in the 4-3 defense from 2016-20.

He played DE for the Packers 3-4 last year.

 

[FLSeahawk]

Great signing. I’m feeling a nose tackle and guard/center whenever we pick between 20 and 52

Also, that's the maximum the deal is worth, implying there are incentives. Wait until the real numbers come out.

"The Seahawks offered Reed a restructuring of his contract during the 2021 offseason, but he declined. After not being able to trade him, the Seahawks cut Reed.

He signed with the Chiefs for $3.5 million less than the Seahawks were offering in a restructure."

I don't know...why don't you ask the FO about Eddie Lacy and Cary Williams?

How were either of those guys not a scheme fit?

I remember that, he left the team in a bad situation as they counted on his return

Reed looks like a run stopping stud in a 3-4 from this game highlight. He was the alpha dog on Alabama's defense, with us he was great vs the run and nice on passing downs. Reed seems like a perfect fit as a 3-4 DE.

 

[FortWorthSeahawk]

Work is being done in free agency so far. Hopefully the signings have the impact Pete and John are anticipating, but I'm liking the direction we are taking.

Solid pickups.

 

[nanomoz]

Reed has seemed to be good at keeping bodies off of linebackers from all over the line throughout his career. Seems like a solid pickup to fix the run D.

 

[Shane Falco]

Nice! We are getting more stout up front. bring on the fatties.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Love that they are building in the trenches. Exactly what this team needs. Now to get a legit Center, Guard and LB

 

[Nunya]

Exactly! Jarran Reed will add excellent depth and keep those D lineman fresh and hungry. Great signing!

Bring back Frank Clark!

Clark comes with some baggage and a high paycheck. Plus, he is in the twilight of his career. Seriously doubt it will happen.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Pass on Clark

 

[MORGULON]

Clark dogs it in the regular season. Do not want him back.

Yeah , I never liked that he didn't do much until a contract year in Seattle. That told me a lot about him . Plus the fact KC is willing to move on. A
