Who dat?

 

[Seahawker]

STer/gunner. Conditional 7th rd pick in 28'.

 

[Ruminator]

Emphasis on ST continues... and/or another WR option.

 

[Jville]

Looks like another candidate to replace Dareke Young.

"The Seattle Seahawks are trading a 2028 conditional seventh-round draft pick to acquire special teams standout Irvin Charles from the New York Jets, according to a report from The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt on Wednesday morning."

Didn't play at all in 2025 recovering from a ACL.

 

[8-bit]

Definitely a potential Dareke replacement.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

For only a 7th? Worth a shot.

For only a 7th? Worth a shot.

Yeah, lots of picks next year to spend. This time of year it's like signing a UDFA.

 

[Jville]

It's reported to be a conditional 7th round pick in 2028.

 

[MORGULON]

Better than what we gave up for that safety

 

[SoulfishHawk]

........who could turn out to be a great contributor

 

[Jac]

I like how Schneider is GMing that roster construction.

 

[rjdriver]

When you have big Dick punting the ball at an elite level like we do, having an elite gunner can give us a huge advantage. Hell, Dick was one of the MVP’S of the playoffs last season IMHO so the perpetual investment in special teams is always welcome.

 

[CouchLogic]

ST is going to be pinning teams down with no room to breathe on returns. An absolute hoss of a punter and two monster gunners on the field is just nasty work.

I reckon we see a lot of highlights from that group this year.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Special Teams matter a LOT. I love how much they make it a priority.
Unlike The Clams and McSpikeyhair McCrybaby. He ignored it. He also watched the Hawks WIN THE SUPER BOWL.

 

[LeveeBreak]

We plan to punt?

 

[Hawknight]

We plan to punt?

I think they meant hunt

 

[jammerhawk]

Interesting addition, if he shows up healthy this player will make the team's ST group even stronger. Certainly if nothing else the cost is minimal and the upside could be special for the team.

The player is purely a ST player , but a darn good one when he is healthy.

 

[Appyhawk]

If these guys werent good enough to stick with the JETS...?
