There was an article on one of the Hawks sites recently that posited that we should trade Milroe, and I've been saying all along that there's no spot on the team for him unless he can play another position.
There is simply no way the Hawks are carrying 3 QBs next year. The only reason they even allowed it this year was because they didn't know how Darnold would turn out, and they weren't expecting to seriously compete for the Super Bowl yet. Now that we are *defending* our championship, that extra roster spot makes a huge difference. The Hawks won't have to do nearly as much weekly shuffling, and we can have an overall stronger roster.

Milroe offered nothing to this team, and it was a disaster when they tried to force him into the game. If we can get a 5th for him I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I did not vote. I dont need to vote as I have the green beard. But I think we keep him as the intelligent teams of the past had to have someone to get ready for the game instead of putting them in the fryer day one. The ones that can do the job are very few...and far between. If you want the first pick to be the best in the world, Go McCarthy in minnyland. Take care of the ball and take care of the defense. Offense wins games, Defence keeps the neighbors off your lawn.

A lot of you are so impatient, it's literally only been a year since Milroe was drafted. The QB room is really great right now, with Darnold as Qb1, Lock as backup, and Milroe as number 3 learning the ropes until next offseason. Wait for 2027 preseason Milroe to avoid jumping the gun and giving up on him.

He was a third round pick, not a first round.

Considering that Milroe was only drafted last year, using a 3rd round pick on him, anything less than a 3rd on return is a horrible use of draft capital. The second highest graded QB in the upcoming draft is Ty Simpson out of Alabama. Simpson could not beat out Milroe at Alabama. I have seen lots of mocks with Simpson in the first round. Those that don’t have him in the first round have him in the second round.

So if a guy who couldn’t beat our 3rd round pick to start in college is this high on most draft charts, wouldn’t that make Milroe a more sought after commodity? If Milroe was in the 2026 draft would he be the second QB drafted behind Mendoza.

If I was the Raiders GM and my newly hired head coach had inside info on Milroe, I might be seeing what I could get him for in trade. I could then trade that overall number one pick for a slew of picks and possibly players. Milroe is a known commodity to KK. What do they really know about Mendoza?

I’m thankful to have 12 people vote for the final option: SeahawkSteve80 is a troll and this pole sucks.

I do wish the NFL would use the UFL as a developmental league. Financially support the league, each UFL team is tied to an NFL team. Put those teams in market starved cities. Just a thought
The problem is that as things currently stand the NFL can't support minor league operations as the CBA specifically prohibits it. The CBA says NFL owners can't use NFL revenue, (to which the current players are entitled to 49%, or thereabouts), to develop players that would replace the current players. The owners could set up their own 2nd tier league with their own money. However, that league would need to be earning money as a going concern AND not cutting into the NFL's revenue for there to be no conflict of interest.

The NFL can work with other leagues and outside owners. It can influence minor leagues to adopt rules that the NFL might want to adopt as a trial measure to save the NFL from trying them. The NFL can open doors for tv and sponsorship.

I did not know that! Thank you for bringing that up.

While I'm firmly in the keep him camp, I would absolutely trade him for any pick before 50. I'd be very torn if it was a second rounder between 50 and 64. I wouldn't do it for any pick in round 3 or below.

I want to change my vote from need more to Steve is a troll 🤣.

On a serious note, It's way to early to trade him. Just look at Willis who is about to get paid $30 mil a year for having played what 5 games overall. He was a 3rd or 4th round pick. Plus you then you have to replace him with either another rookie or sign Drew back for another year.

No. You draft a guy to develop, and you stick with the plan to develop him. Cutting bait early is what makes it a wasted pick. In a similar manner, the Vikings cut bait with Sam before McCarthy was ready.

We knew was raw coming in, and Kubiak did him no favors. I think we can’t make a call on his potential until his third preseason.
You can’t develop a guy is doesn’t have the talent to develop. He was a waste of a 3rd round pick.

I think Locke should be released. We don't need three qbs. Milroe should get his work as primary back up.

I voted for keeping Milroe. We have him through 2028 season and we need a backup to Darnold. He will get better with time, and before the 2028 season ends we will have his future with Seattle figured out. Lock will need to be cut, as our roster costs go up.
