Seahawks asking for a 1st from the Cowboys for Earl

[IndyHawk]

I want them to keep Earl because his instincts are incredibly rare. We saw how the team played 2 seasons ago with him out. I would want something more than just a first round pick from Dallas for him. But screw all of that, keep him and have him retire as a hawk. He's Polamalu level.

Which means he's got about two more good seasons left in him and with all the holes on the roster atm, doesn't seem they'll be legit SB contenders again till at least 2019 or 2020.

Trade that man ASAP.

I agree...Unload before his value drops

Not a big fan of this move.. unless it comes with Zeke and a 2nd rounder.

Um, hell to the NO! Zeke might be playing in the Texas Penal league in less than 2 seasons at the rate he is going as he is dumber than a bag of hammers!

Zach Martin and a second.

Maybe we need a RB with a chip on their shoulder. Who knows... he could be the next OJ.

I’d even consider Buffalo’s two 2nd rounders and their late 3rd. I think he’d fit well in that secondary with Micah Hyde.
Though I guess he’d “fit well” virtually anywhere, wouldn’t he?

I'm really torn. On one hand he isn't going to just fall off in the next year or two, Earl will be in the top 5 FS's for the foreseeable future and has been the key piece for defensive dominance. He also gives 110% every single snap, might be the fastest sideline to sideline defender in the NFL, and his football knowledge is amazing. Whatever team he plays for will likely be in the top half of the league defensively regardless of supporting cast.

On the other hand, I'm wondering how much he agrees with Sherman on Pete's style not reaching the veterans anymore as well as being fed up with carrying the offense. He's made comments about how they always have had to bail them, nothing new, etc. If he isn't fully in behind the scenes regardless of how well he plays on the field, that may add to the rifts in the locker room environment. Guys like Russ, Kam, Bobby all buy into Pete's approach and preach it, if Earl doesn't I wonder if getting most value for him makes most sense.

I think a first and a third would be appropriate for a guy of his quality. Ultimately it's up to Pete/JS if he's a part of their core future.

Polamalu didn't go to another teams coach and say come and get me on live tv....and he was playing with a high risk sex offender at that time.

Oh, get over it already. Honestly.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Asset wise wouldnt it make sense to trade Earl for the best possible offer. Then use the money you save on his deal to sign mathieu .

Hiney Badger was asked to take a pay cut from his $10M salary and he choose to walk. Very good player, but on this team I don't see value in that personally.

I read that he was actually not bad it’s just that Budda baker played great and made him redundant and they saved money by cutting him and also spent 20 mill on Bradford so I dunno how much cap space they have but he wasn’t a necessity there it sounds like.

Baker was younger cheaper and as talented. It made no sense to keep him. He still can be very good for some other team and could be had for a more reasonable price potentially.

 

[vonstout]

I read that they are asking for a first and a third rounder and several teams are interested and we may get more than that.

He is more concerned about going to a contender than the contract. We aren't a contender any more.

Doesn't every player say they're looking to play for a contender, right up until they get a good offer. Its a good talking point but hes not in the twilight of his career, hes still looking to get paid.... and we're not elite but we're a bubble playoff team, and maybe with the right pick ups we're in the thick of things again. Im sure if he had an offer here he'd consider it. Assuming the team has any interest.

I think you have to pull the trigger if you get a package like that. We've already jettisoned Sherman and Bennett and Kam/Avril are likely done, so may as well go all the way and start over. Only thing that makes me hesitant is with how poorly we draft those picks may lead to nothing.
