Gerald McCoy?

[MontanaHawk05]

This one I really think we do get outbid on, but it'd be amazing if it happened.

 

[King Dog]

I always felt like we were gonna get Ansah, and always felt like we were gonna get McCoy if he got cut. I'm not right often though :irishdrinkers:

He would fit Carroll's defense perfectly. Seattle also has a ton of cap room.

It makes too much sense, so that means it probably won't happen.

I mean, I get it. But the team does have $25 million in cap space. There is some flexibility here.

We still have our first three draft picks to sign. Plus try to get a deal done with Wagner and Reed.

With draft pick slotting, the draft pool $$$ is much less of an impact. They can still extend either one of Wagner or Reed, and tag the other next off-season -- when they will have a lot of cap space to work with.

They also can make moves with Mingo or Brown to free up space, if necessary.

McCoy is totally doable, cap wise - but I think another team outbids. It will take an over-sell of culture and success to snag him.

 

[Maelstrom787]

The cap space is there. Give him what he wants and bring him in. More defensive line depth is needed for a championship run, and McCoy is a true leader. Him and Woods together would really make for a high-character, high-effort positional group.

He won't get too much considering no team was even willing to give a conditional 7th for his contract worth $12M-$13M per season for the next three years with ZERO dead money.

He'll get 1 year $10M tops.

From what I've read the last few weeks Bucs fans think he's done and obviously so do the Bucs. Someone else's trash is not always someone else's treasure.

Huh? What have you been reading? Link? Guy had 6+ sacks the last two years from the DT position. I will take that all day long. Missed 2 games last year and only 8 in 5.

I am not sure what he is done at, but it isn't football.

Though his falling-out in Tampa Bay might suggest otherwise, McCoy hasn't been unproductive in recent years. The defensive tackle has amassed at least five sacks in each of the last seven seasons, the league's longest active streak among DTs. Since 2010, McCoy has 50.5 sacks, the third-most among all defensive tackles. His six Pro Bowl selections since 2012 are tied with Cincinnati's Geno Atkins for the most among defensive lineman.

Regarding the extensions. I think they get Wagner done in the next few weeks and they will wait on Reed to see if his production from last year continues.

Getting McCoy would really bolster that line, I would love to see it happen.

 

[Seahwkgal]

Remember the what happened the last time we signed defensive line FAs from Detroit and Tampa ? :stirthepot: :0190l:

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Would LOVE to see McCoy w/the Hawks. I think he still not only has something left, but he has plenty to prove.

 

[jammerhawk]

I’m sure he’s got something to prove, but is he ready to platoon here?

Somehow I doubt the team will pay what he wants and somehow if he isn’t ‘the guy’ I wonder if he will be prepared to compete for a job. All that said he’d sure be a nice addition.

 

[Largent80]

He isn't going to be "the guy" here. He would simply be another cog in the wheel. A chance for a ring should influence wherever he signs unless his ego is so big it requires being "the guy".

At his age, he had better think about that.

 

[HawkFan72]

This is an NFL Topic until he is actually linked to the Seahawks.

I believe if McCoy signs with Seattle it will be a one year deal worth around 6-8 million or a 3 year deal worth around 24 million. He said he wants to sign with a playoff contender etc...it could happen only time will tell.
