Would Trading Shaq to Seahawks Be An Option?

'Hawks are in win-now mode and have a window to get a ring or two. Irvin and Blair just went down for the year with injuries this past weekend. After trading for Adams and the style of defense that is run, would Shaq be a move that we could capitalize on?

Shaq played at UW as well, so it's kinda like bringing home a local kid....even though he's actually from Sacramento. 

For us, we can take a mulligan on Hurney's overpaying and probably maximize Shaq's return due to the situation Seattle is in. 

I would hate to see a young talented player go somewhere else and be the player we thought he would be here.

The elephant in the room for me is figuring out if Shaq can be "the man" like we envisioned, or is he better as a complimentary player that looked good in a unit with Luke and TD. 

It would also deplete the hell out of our already struggling linebacking corps and we would have to double-dip in '21 to make up for it. Our LBs have looked god awful outside of Chinn. Now, I do think if we would've added a LB like Littleton or we draft Parsons or Moses in 2021, Shaq could be back to who we think he is. 

This move would be more about remedying a Hurney overpay and maybe getting a shiny asset and open up cap space moving forward.

Seahawks don't have a 1st round picks in the 2021 or 2022 draft or a 3rd rounder in 2021. So your best bet is they would maybe give up a 2nd rounder which would be very late in the round since they're likely a playoff team. With who we have drafting, do you trust that we would be able to patch up another hole this would leave with a late 2nd rounder?

A 2nd? For an overpaid LB. when they just drafted a similar player(Brooks) and still have Wagner and Wright. That’s delusional.

I didn't say I think they'd get it, I said at best....for this hypothetical scenario the OP brought forth that doesn't make sense for either side

      It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit

      T-Mac or Nalo

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
