Skipping Early Free Agency

[JayhawkMike]

This is the time of year I have hated in years past as all the other teams made splash signings while the Seahawks waited until the leftovers of the leftovers were picked over And we signed the injured and the projects.

i hope this year is different.

We do have a lot of needs and holes to fill. We do have a lot of cap space but that money adds up quick. I’m not surprised but like you I would like some splash signing

 

[Germanhawk7]

No, its the same as last years…
Rly hope Wiliams and Queen are coming otherwise my hype is gone

 

[Mizak]

Looks like this is a John Schneider thing. To cheapen out and not risk big money for the big signings.

 

[James in PA]

See "crickets" thread. It's just what we do.

I mean I’m looking at the FA tracker here

And I’m not seeing a bunch of “Super Bowl” bound teams making the signing. I’m “meh” teams making these signings

I sure am tired of the Jaguars winning the Super Bowl every year with all of these signings

Mostly a bunch of crap teams exercising terrible impulse control and buying high during a market bubble.

Yep. It's OFTEN the crap teams that overpay early. Good luck with that.

Did the two La teams overpay for Dissly and Parkinson, IYO?

I think most of us realize the early spending frenzy results in over paying some times by a lot. Still it's kind of painful to watch all the glitz get signed before the Seahawks make a move. So painful but smart in theory at least.

If you do research on big free agency signings very few if any lead to team success

I do hope they sign Fant.. because as of right now we don’t have any TEs do we?

This is a sad but true story.

And brooks?

for Parkinson, absolutely. Fair deal for Uncle Will, imo.

Same JPat. Wonder if we’re looking at Bowers?
I wouldn’t be disappointed if we are.

Lost 3, signed 2 of our own...so far/by my count. Maybe there's some comp picks coming .... Seahawks have definitely not been competitive in that area. Perhaps new coach brought some Ravens FO perspective with him too.

I have been envious of the Ravens draft picks for the past ~5 years.
