oh! I was confused after your first post. LOL

You couldn't be upset with this.....right? haha!

Unless teams draft at a 80% starter clip dynasty’s are a thing of the past. After spoon and Darnold this team will be fielding rookie contracts and vets on league in going forward. Next two years is it. After that Seattle is back to 10-7 maybe in a playoff game team.

This deal is crap. According to OTC if they have to cut him before June 1st they take an additional $60 million in dead money. If they can wait until after June 1st it reduces the dead money to $32 million, but that is basically all the cap they have remaining for this year. What a bind Schneider has put the team in.

Seattle resigned JSN


Resigning Puka is going to cost us a lot more and we may have to cut some weapons to do it, no 5th year option.......

Dubious analysis. Teams can sign whatever length of contract suits them and the player. Mahomes signed a 10-year contract.

In light of the relatively team friendly deal that JSN signed, what do you think the Rams will do with Puka?

I know you already mentioned what you thought before the JSN contract was signed.

It really seems like flv2 exists just to be a debbie-downer or something.

Can't we just enjoy ourselves? haha

Along with Puka that cheap young D the Rams have had success with the last 2 years allowing them to spend on O will all come due in the next couple of years. Turner, Fiske, Verse will all be coming due.

I expect the Rams to extend Nacua before the preseason games. Normally the Rams get their extensions done around July. From the outside it appears as though the Rams get a ballpark agreement with the player earlier in the year. They then tweak the minor details to increase or decrease the current cap numbers depending on current needs. The Rams don't like to have lots of excess cap space as fans complain about the team not trying to get better.

I expect Nacua to get more money overall with more in years 3, 4, & 5. I also expect 2-year rolling guarantees through the 1st 4 years, as they've done with McDuffie . Hopefully Smith-Njigba's deal will persuade them not to give rolling guarantees, but unfortunately it has become the norm for NFL stars. It leads to teams cutting players with the approaching season already paid for Wilson, Murray, etc.

Those 3 will want sizeable deals. Young is the other name that gets missed, but for some reason I still have doubts about him. Just a hunch but I think McClendon might be the priority of the 5.

I love the fact that there is no drama with JSN. He doesn't have any crazy off field issues or interview weirdness. He is always very even keeled, doesn't treat every catch he makes like it was some game breaking moment and acts like he's been there before when he scores a touchdown. I started wondering what was going on with Puka about 1/2 way through last year. He started giving me some AB vibes with his interviews/off field issues. He is a game changing WR for sure but could be a ticking timebomb.

I also don't expect Darnold to play with a $10M base salary cut this season. The Seahawks can, and will, lower Darnold's 2026 cap number, but he is going to get paid.

You’re going to have to explain that one to me. His base salary went from 5.3 million to 12.3 million.

Schneider doesn’t extend players with more than 1 year left on their contract, unless he adds in a 5th year extension to the mix.

Granted, if anyone is eligible, it would be Darnold, but I don’t see them renegotiating this year.

I think they renegotiate NEXT offseason, imo.

I believe Darnold is on about $33 mill/year now (3yr - $100 mill). Not sure what his cap hit is, but there isn't really a need to reneg his deal until next off season, when he's gonna wanna pull $50-60 mill if he has another 12+ win season and some playoffs to ride on. Good luck JS.

Last year his pay was $37.5M. (Additionally he earned $4M in performance/achievement bonuses). This year he's due $27.5M. The contract was intended to be a 1-year, try-out, placeholder contract, with the 2nd year effectively nothing more than an injury guarantee.

...At least that was my understanding of it. If you can get him to play for $10M less, ($14M if he doesn't hit the same targets), then good luck and hats off to you.

 

[sutz]

I'm pretty sure Sam already cashed that $15 mill roster bonus for 2026 back in February. If the team was gonna cut him, they surely would have done it before they paid that.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Who's more accurate? These guys or over the cap? The numbers were slightly different but not much. If Sam has another good year an establishes himself as our guy going forward, I can see a re-worked deal with more guarantees but lowering his hit for when Nick E and Zabel get closer to extensions.
