SCHOOLED WITH THE PROFESSOR
Bill Barnwell on NFL QB contracts
The Russell Wilson contract extension was not only one of the biggest stories in Seattle this year, it was one of the biggest stories in the league.
This week on Schooled with the Professor, we talked to Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com. The two of us went in depth discussing the impact of having to pay quarterbacks and how it works in this cap era.
Bill recently wrote a story for ESPN.com about the next 11 quarterbacks who will get mega-deals. He accurately predicted that Wilson would get a four-year, $140 million contract. We spent plenty of time talking about how teams manage their caps with high-priced quarterbacks and how those teams make improvements. Plenty of in depth football talk on Schooled with the Professor.

Seahawks & The Draft with Ourlads' Dan Shonka
The NFL draft is two weeks away, so it’s time to start figuring out what’s going to happen. For the Seahawks.
John Schneider is likely to trade down from the 21st pick to get more draft picks, since they have only four. So, on Schooled with the Professor, we check in with Dan Shonka from Ourlads to study how far the Seahawks can move down and still get a quality defensive player.
Dan talks about how deep the draft is for edge pass-rushers, which is one of the team’s primary needs. Shonka breaks down how good some of the rushers will be at the end of the first round and into the second round. We talk about it being a bad year for cornerbacks. Even though two wide receivers could go in the first round, there may not be a receiver within the first-round of the draft.
Shonka puts in perspective how good this draft is for front seven defensive players. The draft is big in this edition of Schooled with the Professor.

David Tepper and Shawn Springs
It’s double-header time on Schooled with the Professor!
First, we had a chance to talk to new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper. David grew up in Pittsburgh. In fact, he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh two years after I graduated from Duquesne University. Both of us grew up in tough towns on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Both of us were fortunate to learn and have great instincts growing up in that environment. Tepper became a billionaire. He bought a minority share of the Pittsburgh Steelers and then purchased the Panthers from Jerry Richardson. Many believe he’s going to be a dynamic owner.
At the NFL owners meetings, we caught up with former Seahawk Shawn Springs. Springs was a great cornerback for the Seahawks. He’s also become a great businessman. Springs won an award from the NFL for a company that is trying to make helmets safer in football. On Schooled, we talk player safety, Seahawks and Dwayne Haskins. Springs has worked closely with Haskins in the past few years because of his close relationship with the family. Haskins is expected to be a first-round selection at quarterback.
