Nobody should blame either of them specifically, but at the same time injury risk factors into the conversation and is one of the reasons why bringing in veterans at high cost often backfires down the road.

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 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:

Loook at the top free agents from the 2016 class. It's kind of crazy seeing how much of them got cut and some were signed again this free agency to some other team throwing money in the wrong place (see Malik JAckson, Weddle, Osmele)
Aw come on. Those guys are so elite that we could play 4 on 11, both sides of the ball, and still dominate!!!jammerhawk":2vsmqbpw said:James in PA":2vsmqbpw said:What we *should have* done is signed Nick Foles to be our backup, traded multiple future 1st round picks for Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr., and signed Le’veon Bell.

I know you are kidding b/c the whole cap would be taken up by the 4 players, besides there wouldn’t be enough balls to go around.

They were not cut due to performance but due to injuries, make sure you add the details, it sounds like your calling them busts when they were very good contributors till injured.

A big reason Rice was let go by Minnesota were their injury concerns. He played only six games the years before we signed him.
Miller was a solid player and signing but he didn't perform to his contract. We made him like the 2nd or 3rd highest paid TE at the time for a guy who was a great blocker but so-so receiver for us.We overpaid because we wanted to make a splash and had cap space.
True dat. :laugh:HawkGA":1mnt76ws said:I used to love the offseason. Then the Seahawks got good and I realized only fans of bad teams liked the offseason.
