Free agency is always such a bore for us. A friend texted me this morning..."Why nothing out of Seahawks camp?" It's true. JS/PC are rarely big players in free agency. Apparently that paradigm remains for 2019.

It is interesting to note which teams during the silly season have been active and with only a few rare exceptions very few are even playoff teams. Besides at the early 'silly season' stage there are contracts that are what appear to be huge overpay situations based upon pure need and little cap consideration.

It might hurt in the short term, but long term you're freeing up cap space for Wagner, Reed, and Wilson, and recouping valuable draft capital in a very deep class. The alternative is likely seeing one of your best players walk away next offseason while they again get nothing in return.

I'd rather concentrate on our own guys that we want to keep and prepare for round 2 of free agency when the frenzy has calmed and contracts tend to be a little more balanced.

I tend to agree but boy that offer would have to be too good to turn down. What does that look like? Two firsts? Nope. A first and third? :snack:

Oh David, you and your common sense. Doesn't it get old for you after a while? :lol:
Funny how that works out. Some folks still haven't resigned themselves to the fact that we are not getting top 10 picks every year. Now that Clark has come up, I would bet a dollar against a donut that if we pulled the trigger and got a Top 10 pick, we'd probably trade it away anyhow. :twisted:HawkGA":3lk7ehdc said:I used to love the offseason.
