The #Seahawks have agreed to terms with one of their: Safety Quandre Diggs gets a 3-year deal worth $40M, source said. Seattle retains a key defender.

Good players choosing to stay!!!!!!! Woot!!!!!! LEADER

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That is the EXACT word to describe Diggs. Leader.

I'm stoked, but I'm sure someone will come poo poo it very soon........so be it :mrgreen:
Great job by the front office, they were due, to say the least. Still a ton of work to do.

 

[Rat]

Excellent: great player, reasonable contract! Not exactly the kind of deal you make in a "rebuild", which I find encouraging.

Thank goodness, I was afraid of a mass exit with the departure of Russ. I hope this is a continuation of good things to come this season. Ecstatic to be a Seahawks fan!!!!!

About $30M APY for Adams and Diggs

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Oh well, salary cap had a massive jump and will continue to. This is a positive thing. Diggs and Adams make plays, that's what they get paid to do, and that's what they will do in the future. Teams paying good contracts to two safeties isn't something new. It's an extremely important position.

Side note: Al Woods just re-signed too.

Good. Safeties are important. I'm sure some Rob Shaton acolytes will be incensed at the idea, though.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Excellent news!

Quandre Diggs is probably the best Free Safety in the NFC, maybe the league.

Wilson trade opened up the checkbook for players that actually want to be here.

Adams and Diggs will be a better Safety Duo than Kam and Earl were. Jamal is smaller than Kam but is a superior athlete. Quandre isn't as far as Earl, but it's much smarter and more disciplined, which makes the difference in speed negligible.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I think a LOT of people forget how good Adams is. Much of that is just not liking the guy and/or what they gave up to get for him. I'm looking forward to him proving people wrong.
Maybe they'll actually use him correctly in 2022.

 

[massari]

So no rebuild, hopefully Deshaun Watson is next. Would feel pretty spoiled going from Russ to Watson.

 

[Elemas]

Oh man this makes me happy.

Sorry but you are high. Kam and Earl are HOF type safety’s and we’re on a different level. Digs does not shut down and cover like Earl. And Kam was Kam enough said. Will never be another like him. Adams and diggs are a good combo.

 

[QuahHawk]

This is good news, with Wagner gone, I was thinking Adams would be the D captain but now I think Diggs could be the guy.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Def. my next jersey.

That feels like a lot, but Adams being a disappointment so far doesn't mean we shouldn't have signed a great safety who has been fantastic for us.

 

[Chawker]

Like a cold night, we pull a warm blanket over our feet. Back end is set, and at a good price to boot. :2thumbs:

 

[sutz]

I called this a "must do" deal a few months back. Some folks disagreed. I'm stoked for the back end of our D.

Just an FYI, but Pete likes to build his defenses from back to front, unlike most coaches, for better or worse. :mrgreen:
