Haynes Re-signs

[oldhawkfan]

Phil Haynes was resigned to a one year deal.

 

[Frozenropers]

Good signing. Our offense was better when he was playing versus Jackson.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

This means one thing and one thing only. See ya Gabe Jackson.

About time. Jackson sucked up cap space way in excess of his mediocre level of play.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Bye bye Gabe Jackson

Nice re-signing. Haynes issue has been health. He played in 15 games last season but prior to that the most he played in a season was 5 games. Gabe Jackson and Phil Haynes were both on the team last season. So this doesn't necessarily mean Jackson is gone. I hope Jackson is though because as he hasn't lived up to his contract with the Seahawks.

Haynes made $2.5M last year. Let's hope that he signed for less than $3.0M. We need the cap space for others.

Re-signs*

 

[jammerhawk]

Let's hope he can put together a whole season without getting hurt.

This is my hope for him. Because he’s definitely better than Jackson

 

[jammerhawk]

The team did draft him in the 4th round in 2019 so they thought he had serious potential, but he has been hurt quite a bit.

I think you're going to be disappointed. Re-signs at this time of year are normally when the team has estimated the market value for a player but is prepared to pay a bit more than that value. It tends to happen when the player is popular, a scheme fit, and where the team otherwise has suspect talent. I'm not saying Haynes will be expensive, but he's not going to be cheap.

He really flashed late in the season in 2021. It'd be awesome if he could stay healthy and compete for a spot with (probably) a rookie.

 

[James in PA]

I'm bummed to hear about his resignation.

 

[Jville]

This is his prove it year. I'm guessing Haynes is a late bloomer. His return provides welcomed continuity.





The best is yet to come!

 

[sutz]

Well, let's hope he has some strong competition in camp.

He spent most games that he actually played platooning. I hope we can find a guy who will fill the RG spot full time. I hope we go G/C early, meaning late day 2 at least, but if we find a guy in Rd 2 they like I could dig it.

So, make a prediction of his 2023 salary and we'll see who comes closer.

My guess is $3.0M.

I'm guessing my "disappointed" salary is north of $4M, right?

hoping this is just a depth move. 1 year deal. only 5 starts in 4 whole seasons. couldn't completely unseat gabe jackson despite jackson's huge decline.

 

[Frozenropers]

Haynes starts coincided with the start of the Hawks hot run in the middle of the season. Coincidence? . Either way I like him better than Jackson.

Haynes is an insurance policy for IOL before the draft.

I'm guessing there's very little, or no, guaranteed money so he'll have to make the final 53 to earn whatever salary he signed for.
