When Pete Carroll spoke to John Clayton at the combine he mentioned they’d narrowed their search for free agent pass rushers to ‘half a dozen’ targets.

So who are they likely to be? This is my guess…

1. Jadeveon Clowney
Carroll stated it was a ‘huge priority’ to retain Clowney.

2. Yannick Ngakoue
Tony Pauline reported last week they were interested in trading for him.

3. Everson Griffen
He was linked to a Carroll reunion as soon as he opted to void his Vikings contract.

4. Arik Armstead
He’s an ideal fit for the five technique and can play inside or out.

5. Dante Fowler
He has the speed they look for off the edge and he was productive in 2019.

6. Robert Quinn
He’s an injury risk but led the league in pass rush win percentage in 2019.

Their willingness to narrow the options also hints at a very focused and determined approach to land both the ‘premier pass rusher’ Carroll wants for the LEO and the run defender who can also rush at the five technique.

Sorry, I was under the impression that copying whole posts like that, without even so much as an attempt to quote, was against site rules.

I would have been more likely to give that site a view if less info was given away in the post.

Or maybe someone could post one damn thread w/out it turning in to some smart ass comment at the person. Or in to some argument and/or pissing match?
Just once??
I mean, come on Largent, the nerve you have posting something Seahawks related.

Gimme two of those guys and I'll be happy.

Or some version of one of those guys and trading for someone who might not even be on the radar that's a significant upgrade.

Clowney and Quinn or Ngakoue and Quinn.
That would make a huge impact on this team imo. Depends on what Quinn is asking for of course.
But I couldn't agree more, any of the 2 listed would be a nice start to Free Agency.

Largent credited the source. Technically that's the requirement, even if not the intent of the rule. We're just friendly fans scribbling back and forth for the most part, instead of trying to actually write with professional ramifications.
The omitted link is in the pinned FA thread, and now here: https://www.seahawks.com/news/a-look-at ... eague-year

I love this shopping list, however, Robert Quinn has been healthy. He has played 14 or more games every season since 2017 and only turns 30 this May.

I say let Clowney bounce, and try to get Griffin and trade that 1st to the Jags for Ngakoue.

Probably not realistic, but that would be awesome

If that was the whole blog post- so few characters, I think its OK. I've seen tweets that long ;)

Also, you may want to just relax in life a bit; not a big deal.

Is it cool to accuse someone of copying a whole blog post without even checking the blog post where you would clearly have seen that he only copied a very small portion of it?

He quoted part of a larger post, and provided a link to the larger blog post. What more do you want?

Largent's post was legit. Cut him some slack.

Millennial or an idiot, hard to tell sometimes, however Browns just released Christian Kirksey also, could be a nice pickup, is a producer and could be a cheaper option coming off injury. Fits a few roles and is flexible.
