You should also probably note that the Cardinals had one of the best lines in the NFL last year, as opposed to us having one of the worst lines in the NFL last year. Taking a young athletic guy that's most comfortable at LT with some good film on him against the NFC West defenses of 2013 isn't exactly taking the trash in the NFL, especially when the guy got stuck behind Veldheer. Then also consider that he's been practicing against AZ's defense for the last three years. He physically fits the mold and meets all the requirements for what we want in an OT, he's young and he has a little NFL experience. This is a good move by the FO. Not to mention, Arians runs almost the exact same offense we do.. A variation of the spread WCO with zone blocking.

Yeah, I don't see Sowell as a long term solution by any means. I think he's a better fit than Bailey, and he'sa good depth option and swing tackle. He's got some potential to be a long term solution somewhere, but reality is he's probably more like Floyd Womack than Walter Jones.

I'd be all for adding him to the pile, but not paying him like, or relying on him as, the starter.

Bailey said there was 31 other places he'd rather be last year. Regardless of what that was about, it probably plays a part in his not being signed here.

I see us bringing him in as competition on a little higher experience young upside kind of contract. 3 year - 3 Mil. APY. Might structure it to get him down to a 2 - 2.5 mil cap hit this year. I also don't think we're going to give Okung a starter contract. Probably offering him a 1-2 year deal at around 5 mil. APY, which is why I think nothing is getting done on Okung. I think our FO and staff want to go into preseason with all positions on the line being challenged and open. Nobody's penciled in and nobody's safe... Earn your spot.JSeahawks":3qo3p9d3 said:

I'm not sure if I want the third string RT of the Cards to become our starting LT. I wouldn't mind bringing him in as competition but relying on him to start would be a huge gamble.

Not really seeing any overriding reason to get excited. Mostly just qualifiers about "Well, he'll just be competition" and "He lost to a great left tackle" in order to justify one poster's scouting report over the fact that this guy has zero radar presence.
Guess it couldn't hurt, and we've had our share of surprises. But I wouldn't be surprised if Okung beat him out either.

I think Sowell was the starting LT when Seattle played AZ in the Desert on Thurs Night, and he was owned repeatedly. The next offseason the Cards went and got Jared Veldheer.
The game where Wilson made one of the most impressive plays I have ever seen a QB make.
So no. I wouldn't touch Sowell with a 10 foot pole.
