Trades?

[Rat]

Or trade a box of Rice Chex for mehDEUR Scamders

Only if they'll take Milroe off our hands.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Would rather have Milroe than 13-12, get a statue. 7 TD's and 10 picks "pro bowl" boy

They are not letting Milroe go for a 5th round pick. That would be a colossal misuse of draft capital. They got him in the 3rd round last year as a developmental guy. You don’t just trade a guy a year later for a pick two rounds lower than you drafted him. JS is much smarter than that.

Milroe could be traded for something higher than the pick used on him. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this happened. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he stays a Seahawk and they continue to develop him as is the plan.

“Milroe is sent to a team that is better set up to see if he develops”? WTAF?! I can’t imagine a better scenario to develop a QB that behind a bona fide starter, and a functional backup. From top to bottom 1-3, I doubt any team has a healthier QB room.

No it wouldn't be a colossal misuse of draft capital. Drafting someone with a 3rd and then trading him for a 5th a year later when he no longer makes sense to keep would be pragmatic.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but:
1. We absolutely aren't keeping 3 QBs
2. Milroe is behind Lock

Those 2 points negate everything in your post. There is no need to waste a roster spot keeping 3 QBs just to see if Milroe can develop into Darnold's backup. We aren't sitting on a future star. He is a developmental QB on a team that no longer has a spot for a 3rd QB. It's a numbers game on a super bowl contender, with Milroe being the odd man out. The player we get with the 5th for Milroe will contribute more than Milroe will, so it's a value-added move. I'm looking forward to seeing who we get.

Predictions are only just spitballing, Soulfish don't deeply disagree with your predictions, teams pay what they pay to get what they want often they significantly overpay. Hopefully the Seahawks won't.

This is silly season and there is a lot of present negativity around some of the fandom of the team. Not entirely sure why when nothing is done yet. Just a lot jive turkey gobble gobble negativity.

These a just a few of the laments:

"Woe is us, K-9 is a FA and is likely gone, as is Shaheed, as is Wollen, as is Jobe, as is Bryant, as is Mafe. We only have 4 picks in the draft. There is no way the team can pay these guys with only the 4th most available cap. There is no chance of the Seahawks repeating as Super Bowl Champion."

What freaking nonsense, I'm not buying this early negativity. It's early days let's see what happens in FA, the draft, or with trades.

JS is a talented GM and can create picks with careful draft trades and has picked well in the draft recently. There are only a few areas of the team that will need to be firmed up, the team has plenty of available cap and can be creative in making contracts. We need to believe in Mission Over BS.

Think there will be deals done with both JSN and MM improving the team.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well said, brother. Very

 

[chris98251]

Are you suggesting that trading for Crosby will cost all of those players and some draft picks as well?

No, that it will cost some depending on Kubiacks needs and evaluation, he knows us better then anyone at the moment and what can boost his team.

Packers looking to trade Rashan Gary and theres been talks with teams. Decent pass rusher who's high school was our our line backer coach and has Michigan connections tied to MM. Due 19.5 million with no guaranteed money.

That guy has serious motivation issues. For all his talent, he probably isn't a fit here.

How do you know he isn't a future star? He was drafted with the intention of not playing much if at all for 1-2 years and develops. Dude has the physical talent to be the best athlete on the field. I just don't think you trade that away unless you are blown away by an offer. If they do trade him, I would expect it to happen during the draft when someone they really like is available. They obviously saw something in him when they drafted him and to cut bait on a developmental QB after 1 year doesn't make sense unless the coaching staff and scouts determined he wasn't going to improve after having him for a year.

Good post, someone finally said it.

I think Philly is trying to make a splashy move that may or may not involve AJ Brown. Their GM is annoyingly aggressive and I could see them trading for Crosby. You heard it here first.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Ryan Kelly retired at the Vikings. Suddenly center is a glaring need in the league. Could we trade Olu and take advantage?

There's talk that Jalen Carter was offered as part of the Crosby trade. That would be nuts.

The 2026 offseason is underway. Free agency starts officially in a few days. We have already seen a couple of trades between yesterday and today in the league. We know who the Seahawk free agents are that might leave or might be back. That’s really all we know right now.

The Rams traded for a CB because JSN gives McVag night sweats. The Bills traded for a WR because Allen needs targets.

Does JS trade someone we weren’t expecting to leave because of a lack of draft picks? Does he make a trade of player(s) for player(s)?

Is there a positional group that team management deems strong enough that they could use a guy as trade bait?

Lots of things can happen between now and the actual start of the season. Any bold predictions? Any lame predictions?

A couple things I will add:

Now its the Rams and Niners that are forced to build a roster to better counter our strengths…not the other way around. That is a good thing.

If a gift falls in our laps…pull the trigger

I think Geno will have a market when he is cut. Some teams will think he was just in a bad situation in Vegas.

Geno was in a bad situation he had IMO the worst OC in the NFL

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No, he just sucks.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

No, he just sucks.

There's some terrible QB's out there though. He's better than Brossmer and JJ McCarthy especially if he had those weapons and coach. Probably better than Sanders, definitely better than whoever was the Jets QB, Kyler Murray, Tua, geriatric Rivers.

 

[oldhawkfan]

No, he just sucks.

Gesucks?

 

[Trackhawk]

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but:
1. We absolutely aren't keeping 3 QBs

Repeating it doesn’t make it any more true.

Roughly half the teams in the league carry three QBs through the season. There is little reason to think the Hawks didn’t plan for two to three years of the same.

His only real cost is the roster spot. The 2026 cap hit for all three QBs is about 11 million less than Purdy’s, and is below the top ten QB individual cap hits. (Eyeballing it)

Schneider has never yet been connected to a QB that turned out to not be a star in the league.

They didn’t just throw a dart at the board and take Milroe. They had a very good idea of what they were getting, and they had a plan that was more than, “let’s try for a year and cut/trade him if we can’t turn him into something worthwhile.”

There's talk that Jalen Carter was offered as part of the Crosby trade. That would be nuts.

Carter is in a similar contract situation to Witherspoon and Smith-Njigba. He's not going to want to play out his 4th season and there's no dead money to accelerate in to the 2026 cap. The Eagles are looking to upgrade overall talent. I'm not sure how make much sense another expensive player will make to a Raiders franchise wanting a complete re-build.
