Taylor, Jackson and Rhattigan resigned.

[WmHBonney]

Couple more moves

Fant? Really?

 

[seabowl]

Please tell me you're joking. That would be our biggest overpay since Dissly and he had at least done something to earn it. Taylor is ass.

I wish I was kidding. Hopefully this is fake.

 

[scutterhawk]

We've all been called worse

Yep, ya can't insult me, because I goin' to take it as a compliment.

 

[irfuben32]

Wow, only thing I can think is, MM thinks Taylor will thrive in his system and Hurtt wasn't putting him a position to succeed.

 

[hgwellz12]

I'm just gonna have to trust the process, I see.

Ironic Twitter handle

 

[DeSeahawk]

Ummm Taylor instead of Jodyn Brooks

Yeah that's pretty silly. I'd take Brooks first

 

[12forlife]

I'm ok with us taking it slow in FA, and getting our guys resigned. I just don't get what anyone sees in Taylor??? I don't care how good MM is, I don't see making a solid DE outta Taylor? OMG since the lack of LB on this team, you don't think they will try and convert him to a ILB?? God please no!

Darryl Taylor is trash… his best play for the Hawks was blocking for Diggs INT! He was one of the guys I was hoping would be outta here with Diggs n Adams…

If you don’t remember the play, it was when he came running off the sideline to block for Diggs INT!

3/24 is a such a head-scratcher for a one trick pony pass-rusher who hasn’t shown any coverage, run defense, and edge setting abilities.

Sacks or not, this feels rather underwhelming use of cap space for a Mac defense that priortizes players to excel in coverage to produce sacks and turnovers.

The only thing I can think of hopefully is he wouldn’t sign his tender and the Seahawks are trying to trade him for something or someone.

To be a one-trick pony, I think you have to be good at that trick.

Taylor has not been tendered he's been signed.

Move Dickson to linebacker!

Seahawks Extend LB Darrell Taylor, Fortify Pass Rush Group

Despite struggling against the run once again last season, a new coaching staff led by Mike Macdonald appears to be optimistic about bringing Darrell Taylor's game to the next level.

Only financial terms I've been able to discover were from some rando with 1,500 followers and another one of those cut-and-paste "ironic ego trip, please give me followers" Twitter shticks. Which will no doubt succeed, because that's just how Twitter rolls. Remains to be seen whether the 3 yr $24m part is true.

He was ahead of the Macdonald hiring, but that could have an educated guess. He also predicted Waldron, and before that believed Jamal Adams was a good safety.

 

[bileever]

Unbelievable about Taylor. A lot of money to pay for a guy ranked 103 out of 112 edge rushers. Is that just the going rate?

 

[nwHawk]

What the hell. Total waste of a roster spot. Pathetic!!!!!!!!!

MM got JClowney to be productive after he was pretty below-average for the last 4 or 5 years. Maybe he sees the same thing in DTaylor. I think Taylor flashes, but he also disappears, not unlike I remember Clowney. Hope MM has a way to re-do whatever it was that he did with Clowney ('23: 9.5 sacks, 43 tackles). I go back to the LB discussion: I know I know some things and I know I don't know some things. I have to believe that MM knows more about NFL LBs and Edge rushers than me. I wouldn't have taken a chance on Clowney nor would I have on Taylor. So let's hope I'm wrong on Taylor and right on MM. To me, he gets a pass until he doesn't deserve it anymore.

One thing to consider: McDonald had 3 beefy down lineman on the field much of the time. 300+ to a man. They might see Taylor as a third down specialist. Baltimore has been good at using those for what seems like forever.

Not asking Taylor to contain would be a good idea. He absolutely sucks at it. It jumps off of the screen.

Third-down specialists telegraph defensive intentions and are generally only valuable if they're really good at what they do. Which Taylor hasn't been, for years.
