They can still swoop up a solid vet who is a cap casualty from another team. Real good players get cut all the time right before the season.

Correct. It isn't like he is bad, he's at least league average, he just isn't worth 1st round money. Neither is Okung and the OL market for FA went north and stupid quickly this year. At least he costs nothing given the market or the fact it doesn't affect the team beyond this year.MontanaHawk05":1bufmw8b said:Tical21":1bufmw8b said:More likely, it prevents this team from being a legit contender again.
The deal the Seahawks signed Luke Joeckel to is pretty much the opposite of what you're saying.
And YOU get an E for being an ARMCHAIR talent evaluator.....See, it's either I buy into your take on player acquisitions OR,,,,,, Believe in the PROFFESIONALS that have fielded a Super Bowl WINNING Offense, and getting to another in the following Year, and kept the Seahawks in the hunt without Marshawn Lynch to help for the last two Seasons,nash72":80aap549 said:How can anybody give them an A for cripes sake? Oday and Jokel both stink and we paid Jokel 7 million guaranteed. Thats an epic failure. They deserve an E for effort at the most.

That's generally true of any player that signs with any team. The reason they sign with them is because that team is offering more money than everybody else. Or to put it in your words, NOBODY else was lining up to pay that much.

We didn't sign Russell Okung for 15M a year long term. Seriously? Screw that insanity. Just one example why you're right and Tical is wrong and why I'm fed up with the negativity with no proof by the same 5 or so posters. So, my advice? Ignore them and ask the moderators to do the job they signed up for. (Tical is not among the Negative 5).

hawk45":2yn5oj3s said:The point,which you deliberately missed, was that they could have had Joeckel for half as much because 7 mil for an awful LT coming off a knee injury was dumb-dumb money. As in what-the-f dumb, negotiating against yourself money.
They paid 7 for a guy who couldn't crack the Jacksonville starting LT spot and who was injured. That isn't market, that is
a beyond F move.
If they had doubled their offer to Lang or lit the money on fire for warmth they'd be less laughable.

A any way you slice it, unless you are using your Knife Of Negativity.
Everything Seahawk sucks to you.
You are a Seahawk Tornado.
