I said a straight up Michael Bennett for Duane Brown trade but that went down the toilet due to Bennetts Planter Fascia injury.

 

[ludakrishna]

"He was one of only two offensive tackles in 2016 with more than 400 pass-blocking snaps and only 1 sack allowed (Donald Penn was the other)."

Sign me up. Russell's blindspot will be protected.

How the heck could we make it work from a cap perspective?

 

[ivotuk]

Didn't he hold out too?

By who they trade for him.

I think Jimmy Graham for him would be enough. With a young QB, they're going to want to help him out. They need D-Line help obviously, but I think Graham would be enough to pry him away from Houston. I'd be content with Willson, Vannett, and calling up Swoopes from the practice squad.

Make it happen somehow please

Even if we got him, I have a feeling his career would turn to ship here in Seattle, under Tom Cable and his worthless schemes.

This is a good point. Does Duane Brown have experience playing in ZBS? Just because he's an all-pro doesn't mean much. That didn't help Jahri Evans. Is he a fit for the system that Cable runs is the important factor.

 

[BC-Hawk]

Trading Lane and keeping Jimmy is probably wishful thinking on my part.

Bennet is a pure 4-3 DE Houston uns a 3-4 scheme.

 

[ImTheScientist]

We would trade for him and he would get injured.

Absolutely. He's spent most (if not all) of his career in a zone blocking scheme.

Even if we traded for him your still gonna have to give him a new contract for more money. I doubt he would end his hold out for a new team he has no ties to. Jimmy Grahamn is the only name that would make sense to me.

 

[Cyrus12]

I guarantee it would be Jimmy going the other way. They need a te badly. Watson and Graham would be a deadly combo. He is no way in he'll resigning here anyway.

 

[QuahHawk]

Brown and Houstons 3rd rounder for Graham
or
Brown for Lane and a 4th

 

[RussB]

Pretty much what everyone said. If it happens, jimmy will be involved.

IT's easy, Texas just lost JJ Watt.. hmmmm.. give them Sheldon.. both are 1 year deals anyway.

Sheldon is far more likely to be a centerpiece for this defense for years to come, not a piece we trade away after 5 games - of which the 5th game was his most impressive of the season.

Not gonna happen. If we had McDowell and a healthy Bennett I'd say it's in the realm of "possibly," but we likely wouldn't have Richardson at all if McDowell was healthy and had showed some promise during preseason.
