The best team that the Seahawks can field in 2022 has Russell Wilson at QB, most of the FA starters returning, and Bobby Wagner retained despite his big cap number.
And, with that lineup, if they're lucky, they'll finish 3rd in the NFC West.
The alternative: start over now.
Trade Wilson. Get value before its too late.
Resist the temptation (in the name of continuity) of bringing back OL who produced mediocre results.
Get some value for Wagner before its too late.
Don't waste money on Rashaad Penny, despite the "promise" he demonstrated.
The result in 2022 will be a worse record than in 2021. And, depending on how the QB issue is addressed, 2023 might not be too much better.
But, make no mistake... this is the quickest path to returning to contention.
That's what happens when an era ends.
