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.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
