The Seattle Seahawks are finally fugging up their cap. Marshawn is getting a pretty large sum to play as a running back in his thirties. Plus they have several other contracts coming up, including Wilson.

 

They know their offense would be even more squat, and Wilson would be quite ordinary if they get rid of Lynch!! :sick:

It's hard to spin it as mismanagement when you make two superb owls in a row and win at least one of them. Every contender has a limited window, it's what happens with a salary cap. If you can draft consistently well over a long period of time you can extend it, but that's difficult and requires a lot of luck. Let's focus on opening our window to begin with before we start bashing far more successful franchises.

But you don't pay for what someone had done, but what someone will do. Lynch's career isn't going to be productive much longer.

Agreed.

 

But think how much worse that offense would be, if you took away the threat of Lynch, which is what the entire offense rest upon anyway?

 

They kinda had no choice, and they know it. That's why they paid him.

 

At least Gettleballs, had the courage to know he could get away with jettisoning Steve Smith. Obviously, the equally as smart Seattle front office, doesn't feel that way regarding Lynch.  I would really hate to see what their offense looked like if he wasn't there, and Wilson became the focal point of opposing defenses. :phew:

Then again, maybe I would like to see that. LOL. Unfortunately, Seattle's not that stupid.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
