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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
