Probably means no Peters as well.

I wouldn't assume that.

Breer and Rapoport had named Fitterer as someone that we were interested in before the process ever started but his name never showed up on the interview list...till now.

Guessing he wasn't able (or wasn't willing) to interview till after Seattle was out.

I was just watching First Take and they were discussing how Seattle hasn't hit on their first round picks.  

It's has me worried that they are not happy with any of the 400 interviews we've already conducted. 

I agree that they must not love any of the candidates interviewed so far. 
 

I briefly started to look at the Seahawks draft history and they haven’t drafted earlier than 27 in the last 8 drafts.

One thing I find a little odd...

For the last several years, Fitterer has worked alongside Trent Kirchner. Kirchner has Panther connections. He worked here for a while in the scouting department before moving on to Seattle. pretty much every time we've had a job opening, Kirchner has been connected to it.

But we're interviewing Fitterer and not Kirchner. Haven't seen any indication that we're set to interview Ryan Cowden either.

Connections to the old regime don't seem to mean much.

It is in many ways the exact opposite of our coach search. It does lead me to believe that no candidate has really "hit a homerun" in their interview like Rhule did. Alternatively, it does take to "two to tango" and perhaps the hesitancy is from the candidate rather than the team.

I think I would rather have a little too much information than too little information and more options rather than less options.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
