Seahawks re-sign Rubin

[TDOTSEAHAWK]

Good signing as we are thin at that position this off-season.

 

[Marlin Man]

Outstanding!,

Rubin is good but not great. For a 3T, he didn't provide much push or pass rush up the middle. Seahawks need to find a guy that provides a consistent interior pressure - Rubin isn't that. Nonetheless, he's a good guy to have in rotation.

They don't need him to generate a pass rush. He plugs a gap and stops the run which allows the other guys to be more creative. It's a cheaper way to generate pressure. Clark and Hill will need to step up and I think the staff is confident they will.

Good move, now let's see if Mebane gets the type of money he thinks he can get or if he comes back on the cheap.

Yer missing the horse radish!

Biggest no-brainer move of this FA period. I doubt it'll be more than 4 million APY though otherwise it'd be a bit of an overpay.

Rubin was one of the guys that you don't typically notice because he is the anchor allowing other guys to make the flashy play. Without that anchor at the 3 tech it can throw off the entire DL scheme and affect the LB ability to play free and close the windows that open.

GREAT signing. Blue collar work horse. Gotta have it. I would love to see Mebane but in a more rotational role. Keep that man fresh and ready to bring the inside pressure.

1 down and ?? to go. :thirishdrinkers:

Great move!

I'm happy with this re-signing 'Tuba' Rubin is a solid ,hustling interior DLineman. The Hawks will have offered hm a fair deal.

This is a good thing and the F.O. gets that.

I hope they get Bane and Lane done somehow too.

Nice, I like this move. Front-loading kind of points towards a relatively quiet FA period, which I'm cool with.

3 year $12 million is great value for Rubin. Although his $6 million cap hit in 2016 pretty much confirms we're not going after a lot of outside FAs. It seems like the tactic will be to keep as many of our FAs as we can, spend some money on key positions if things don't work out with our own FAs (for example if Mebane doesn't sign we'll probably get an outside vet FA for a few million) and load up the rest through the draft.

Saying he gets $6 mill doesn't mean that is his cap hit.

Guessing the bonus is around 3 million, and the first year hit is around 3 million.

I'm thinking $3-4 mill at most. Sounds like a good deal.

For a Reuben? No.

Who puts Horseradish on a Reuben? If it was roast beef though....

Good news, but I'm just gonna hold off on celebrating too hard. Rubin is good for us, but he isn't really a difference maker.
