Lane Failed Physical, More Draft Picks for Duane Brown now!

https://www.seattletimes.com/sports...l-on-as-teams-add-draft-picks-to-mix-instead/

Looks like we are keeping Lane!

...

They can take the extra picks. Just take lane also please.

At this point I am guessing lane gets cut

I'm ok with it tbh. If you would have asked me yesterday if I would trade our 3rd round pick next year and receive Houston's 5th as well as our 2nd in 2019 for Brown I would have taken it. Elite LT's aren't growing on tree's anymore. Teams aren't trading them at all these days. Only thing that made this happen was the beef between Brown and Texan's owner.

No way his money is guaranteed. Keep him as depth.

He is like a bad penny. Wonder what the added pick(s) are?

How long do the Seahawks have to get under the cap?

Lane was in the game this past Sunday, was he not?

They can't close the deal if they are not under the cap. With the deadline past, I'm not sure how long we have to sign this deal. We also have to fit Brown on the roster. Not sure who they cut/move.

From a 5th to a 3rd. 2nd in 2019 stays the same.

They will need to dig up more $$ to keep Lane as Houston would have paid the remainder of this season. I wonder where that $$ would come from?

Looking at Spotrac and it shows us at around $4 million in cap space adding Brown and figuring Wilson's restructure. That's enough to fit lane's money. No matter who we cut their base salary is guaranteed if they were on the roster week 1 and that's most of them. We are basically going to have to eat someone's contract. For chemistry it might have to be Lane, but I don't know what his attitude is after this trade. Someone will also have to go when Shead comes back.

Since we also get their 5th next year, we basically fall 50 spots in the draft, surrender a '19 second and of course get a time-tested Pro Bowl LT. Still a sweet deal.

Wilson is funding this right? He’ll make it happen. How did Lane pass our physical but fail theirs?

That hurts. Can Lane do anything right these days?

ukeface: Lane is one of the least Seahawky players we have. He has a really weird vibe about him. Was glad when he was gone for that reason, in addition to his garbage play. This is bad for everyone involved. What a bum.

This is true, but we're talking about giving up a 3rd instead of Lane+5th

I meant the Lane side of it.

And yes, I think in the end the Texans will be much happier with a 3rd vs a 5th and Lane. So maybe not bad for everyone, haha, just the Hawks and Lane.
