Michael Lombardi “The GM Shuffle” podcast said this week all of the Free Agents Contracts are reported 20% larger than they actually are because the agents are reporting the details. That 20% is huge if it’s a factor in the Seahawk contracts. I was dosing off during the podcast so I might have missed other important details.
The SF trade to number #3 and Philly collecting another round 1 in 2022 while sitting at #12 in the 2021 draft is interesting.
The Watson fiasco is interesting because it could increase RW’s trade demand.
Seattle could pull the trigger for Darnold or Mariota add a 1st talent plus a Future QB prospect, add 1st round picks in 2022 & 2023. If things go sour in 2021 they could trade for Aaron Rogers in 2022.
The situation is probably fluid in Seattle with a loaded Philly at pick #12 in the draft. Setting Lawrence aside none of these QB’s are worth early round 1 money, SF is nuts and so was the Trent Williams contract, thank you SF!
Getting back to Seattle we want to draft our QB at the earliest round #2 if he fails the cap hit is minimal the round 1 pick could be used on LB or CB. They could trade back in round 1 and fill the roster but we don’t know how much COVID has hampered Schneider’s team.
Cap Flexibility keeps your options open and puts you in winning Situations vs chasing terrible situations like Rams & SF. Those teams out drafted us last few years but the choked in the final hour!
Rams & SF are suppose to be the ideal coaches to replace Carroll, their moves in 2021 will prove to be fatal leaving the Carroll doubters nothing to stand on!
