"In on every deal"

[Mr. Scot]

It's a phrase Scott Fitterer used in his presser. Basically it means that they're going to explore every opportunity.

Ian Rapoport mentioned that pretty much anytime there's a player coming available or something like that happening, when Insiders go to check on who might be interested, Seattle is just about always on the list. And once they identify someone they want, they go after them aggressively.

Sounds like that's gonna be us from here on out, so if you've been frustrated in the past, asking yourself questions like "Why aren't the Panthers checking into this?", you should probably be pretty happy now.

Finally.  This is good.  Really good.

[Mr. Scot]

From the article...

"But before we do anything outside, I need to figure out who's here. I need to figure out this roster. I need to figure out who's on our offensive line, who's on our defensive line. I know them from a 30,000-foot view, but I need to know them from a coaching standpoint, and a personal standpoint, and meet these guys and see what they're made of.

Confirming again that the trenches are central to his team building philosophy...

A refreshing change for sure.

Don’t get me wrong - I don’t want adapt the Saints’ approach of signing whoever and damn the salary cap but it would be nice to know we’re going to be as proactive and aggressive as we fiscally can be competitive.

The better the draft goes and the better the cap gets the more aggressive we can be.

I know this is what Fit is saying now, and I'm genuinely excited about the hire, but I'm curious who was making the majority of the decisions in Seattle?  Because their offensive line had long been regarded as one of the worst even after they drafted Wilson.  Their defensive line has always kind of been a potluck of "ok" vets and young guys that never really pan out to their full potential.  It seemed their scheme was heavily based on the secondary, defensively.  So, I'm wondering how much input he had there if that has always been his philosophy?

I've really liked everything he has said thus far, but I'm just curious as to why it seems Seattle's setup wasn't representative of his philosophy.

From what I've read, I think that comes from Pete Carroll.

And for sure, he'll be working with Matt Rhule so whatever Rhule prioritizes, he will too.

I don’t think I’m reading too much into this here but it seems like we are a lock to sign Dak.

His statement about draft capital makes me think otherwise.

Why not?  Seems to work pretty well for them.

We won't have the opportunity. He is 100% not hitting the free market. Either back in Dallas on an extension, the tag or he's tagged and traded. They're not letting him walk without anything in return.

Signing a Top 7 QB and keeping the #8 pick? I'm all for it. He has some serious heart and we certainly could use some of that.

Expect the bottom of our roster to be churned like butter. They'll want to keep cycling and shirting through trash until they find someone overlooked. 

The only free agent deal I want done is you know who.
