Seahawks sign LB Devin Bush according to Condotta

[bsuhawk]

Bush had a pretty good first year, then the injury early in his second season. Could be he needed a couple of years to fully recover from a bad ACL tear. Anyway, I doubt they're done adding LBs to the team.

From what I’ve read the majority of Steelers fans wanted him gone just like the majority of us weren’t sad when Barton left. Considering what I’ve read on their forum about him I think this is a 1 year rebuild your value deal. I would be shocked if this was for more than 3 mill

Bush also had a nagging foot injury after his ACL which caused him to miss a few games and might have affected his play. I'm willing to wait and see. Tomlin wasn't completely down on Bush:

'He's Been Solid:' Mike Tomlin Evaluates Devin Bush - Steelers Depot

If the Pittsburgh Steelers comes to an end sometime before Week 18, there will be less for the Steelers to play for. But there will still be several things on the line. The pride of competing, of wanting to win, and trying to play spoiler in the final weeks against AFC North teams Baltimore and […]

But the Steelers big FA acquisition this year was Cole Holcomb, who is a pretty good middle linebacker. They clearly felt that Bush wasn't going to be as good.

So it ended up be a complete triangle: Barton now the MIKE for the Commnders, Holcomb going to the Steelers, and Bush going to the Seahawks. Crazy. Poor Commanders, I think they might have gotten the worst of it.

If he is worse than Barton then we don't need him because Barton was trash.

No, he wasn't, but good luck convincing anyone on .net of that.

It's probably a good time to revisit the fact that Barton only played like 60% of snaps after week 4.

We might be in for some bandit sets with three safeties. I would love that.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. Change of scenery, the culture of the locker room, people want to play in Seattle. Pete is clearly a players coach etc.

Side note, I can't imagine anyone not being pretty stoked about what this front office has done so far. Not only am I happy about the moves, I'm a little surprised. Much more aggressive than in past seasons. Addressing legit needs.

It's a nice switch for us to have this as a outlier, head scratcher, pick of free agency, rather than having a free agency full of head scratchers.

It's really not that big of a head scratcher. At the very least we need some depth and camp bodies. Hawks have taken these type of risks quite a bit. Think about how many former first round picks/busts we've seen come through the locker room over the years? Low risk, high reward. If he sucks, cut him.

Eh, he pretty much was. That's going to take a lot of convincing.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Yeah, its a pretty low risk move. Maybe he's finally healed up and his play is an improvement. I doubt the FO is putting all their eggs on Devin Bush. I'm sure there will be more LB's signed. There has to be,,,,,right?

60% of the snaps is still way too much for Barton. I expect the run defense to be much improved now that Barton's gone. He wasn't the only problem though.

LOL! Good line bigskydoc. although for me this one is something of a head scratcher.

Bobby isn’t the same bobby that we know. Even his last year here showed he’s slowed down a bit. If he’s wanting market value or a bag I dunno if bringing him back is worth it, however if he’s giving us a hometown discount then we can definitely use him
