Micah Parsons *possible* trade incoming?

[Boycie]

You greatly overvalue the Seahawks players.

If Parsons gets traded for less than the equivalent of two firsts, there is something we don't know about him right now. He's been a damned all pro in 3 of his first 4 seasons. He's 26, and one of the three most disruptive players in the league.

Those guys, at that position, don't become available. If he gets traded, a bidding war will have ensued and a majority of teams in the league will have called about him.

Top 3 defensive player and not even 26 yet. 2 firsts barely gets Jerry to answer the phone though.

I'm old enough to remember Nate Odomes...

Let's pretend we land Parsons for something south of a fleecing between the trade capital and then the monstrous contract his agent will Russell Wilson for him.

Then he blows out his knee.

F that. Hard pass. Develop though the draft and SUPPLEMENT via trades and free agency when the price is right. This veteran trap, regardless of the talent level, is fools gold most of the time. Don't fall for this crap, only the players and their agents win.

Goes along with what I posted a few days ago. Odones in my recollection though was a FA acquisition.

“Jamal Adams to Seattle
Russell Wilson to Denver
Joey Galloway to Dallas
Etc…

These are just a few examples of star players obtained by, or traded from, the Seahawks where the team acquiring these players not only had to pay high draft capital but also having to pay their huge salaries and it didn’t work out. Trying to trade for a guy like Parsons is going to take a tremendous amount of capital and he’s going to demand a tremendous amount of money. In my opinion, especially if the players and picks needed to trade for him is too high, it is not worth the risk because Parsons is one player, and if he gets hurt, the trade would be a disaster. Just look at Adam’s and Galloway for examples.”

Watt is getting a fully guaranteed $108M over 3 years, ($36M average per year). His 4th year is a non-guaranteed $36M.

Garrett is getting $125.6M over 4 years which is "effectively" guaranteed*, ($31.4M average per year). Technically there are expensive 'outs' after each of the 1st 3 years, (1@$59.3M, 2@$98M, and 3@$122.8M). Year 5 would be $40M, (of which $800K is included in the $125.6M figure).

* I say "effectively" guaranteed because if Garrett looks like a 'less than $19M per year player' after 2025 then the smart move is to cut him rather than commit another $39M. Then again, it's the Browns. Suffice to say I don't like the structure of this contract.

Parsons is expecting a higher average than Watt.

Jerry will take calls from Schneider, no doubt about it.

 

[RehireMora]

You guys are getting me pumped up for this trade! When was the last time the Hawks had a DE of this caliber? Never?

What? 3 out of 4 years of being an All Pro? I love the draft as much as anyone but I could live without a 1st round pick for the next 3 years if we had an All-Pro DE during those years!

Throw the cash on the table and get this this guy signed!

 

[warden]

I mean this is Jerry we’re dealing with. He gave the 69ers a third rounder for Trey Lance lol

Well the Niners gave up three first rounders to move up to the spot to draft Lance

 

[warden]

it is going to take a lot. And I mean a lot.

Is it worth it??

I still worry that our OL is still bad. One Rookie is not enough to fix the mess we had the last couple of years. Maybe we get lucky on developing our younger OL. Maybe not. If we are not substantially better on the OL we will struggle this season. But if we are substantially better we are going to be good

Put so much resources into Parsons and the line bombs then it would be a mediocre team for an extended time.

What about Milroe ??? The last thing I want to do is start him this year but what if it makes all the sense in the world to have him become our starter next year. If so, all of a sudden you d free up money by dropping trading Darnold and it makes sense to go for Parsons. Mind you this defense with Parsons would definitely mean the offense would have to do a lot less but will they be able to do it in crunch timr

We are going to need a DE next year anyhow. If Mafe has a good season he will want a butt load of money.

K9. Lots of flash but I doubt he will ever be that good inside runner. Third and two, is this the guy you want to hand the rock to. He is a free agent next off season.

If we could package K9 and Mafe to keep some of the draft capital to get Parsons, you have to give it some thought.

if we get Parsons, we would have a fantastic DL to go with a very Good secondary. Both would feed off each other. We would have one of the best defenses if not the best in the league.

So much goes into this type of deal. Basically comes down to money and does the team feel that they are strong enough everywhere else to accommodate giving up so much for one player.

If it doesn’t work out, can we rebound? Denver had after a bad trade for Wilson, but many end up in purgatory for years.

One last thing, John Schneider sure likes players who he feels that can tilt the field. His words. Well Parsons can definitely tilt the field.

K9, Wollen, both Pete Players, 2026 1st, 2027 second.

It won't because he won't be ready yet.

His contract, or desire for a mega contract is what I think limits his value a bit.

I don’t value our players as high as some here do. I would not trade for him unless there was a guarantee to win the Lombardi this year. Mega contracts really hamper team’s future. This team already has a bright future with Parsons.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

I doubt Parsons will be traded to Seattle.

I think Schneider is not keen on building through trades. As we’ve seen that attempted before and it severely hampering Seattle for a decade.

No, no, and no.

Seattle is FINE without Micah Parsons.

 

[nwHawk]

Top 3 defensive player and not even 26 yet. 2 firsts barely gets Jerry to answer the phone though.

2024 stats - guess the players:

Tackles….Assisted Tkl…….Sacks
37…………….17………………...8
43…………….13………………..12
40…………….15…………………6

Is one of these players worth two more 1st, plus one of the other players on this list? Steep!

I get your point, but it's too limited to answer your question.

 

[James in PA]

The Eagles will probably get him for a 2nd round pick. Other teams just love handing over their best players to Philly on a silver platter.

If the Cowboys want to trade their main asset to divisional rivals, more power to Jerry Jones.

As long as Jerry Jones is the “know all, be all” power in Dallas, that is one less NFC threat to Seattle! Hahahaah!

Sure, Jerry, go for it!

 

[CPHawk]

Can you imagine the cowboys trading their best player to a division rival? I doubt they pull that trigger. If we had him, and he wanted traded, and the 9er were the only ones offering for him. I’d let him sit out the year rather than making that trade

 

[FrodosFinger]

Well the Niners gave up three first rounders to move up to the spot to draft Lance

It would be funny if the Niners gave up like 4 first rounders for Parsons and still came in last lol

I'm not sure where I sit with it. I think there is a strong argument either way. I think the time limit you put on a super bowl is short sighted, I'd say 3 years, but you're right, it'll be a lot of dough.

A lot, I imagine, depends on whether or not the Hawks believe their long term answer at qb is on the roster.

In today’s NFL, three years is along time.

 

[Jerhawk]

I don’t believe the Seahawks should make this trade at this time.

Parsons is obviously a great player, but I’d rather they continue to build through the draft. They’re not in a “go for it” spot at the moment; they’re still trying to build the foundation.
