PFT: Seahawks want three #1 as starting point for Wilson trade.

(3) 1st for Watson, sign me up!

(3) 1st for Wilson, no Thanks!

Wilson is already 32, is not the biggest QB, and has taken a crazy amount of hits throughout his career. To be honest, last year he started off like an MVP candidate, then fell off in the 2nd half of the season. I have concerns that he want play at top level much longer.

I can't do that for a 32 year old. Sure, some QBs play very well into their late 30s and a rare few play well into their early 40s, but eh...

 

I see no reason why that can't be Russ though.  He's never missed a game and doesn't rely on his mobility to the point where his game will have to change much in the next 3-4 years.  

Honestly, if ALL we had to do was give up 3 1st round picks?  And not give up any other players? I'm easily taking that deal.  Easily.  That gives us a strong 3-year window at minimum to compete for a championship.  Even if you don't think Wilson puts us in that talk this year, in 2022 we'll have so much cap space to make splash moves.

Of course I think the Seahawks would want players in return.  But the 3 1st round picks themselves don't bother me.  Wilson is elite and he'd immediately make us a strong contender for the next 3-5 years.

I’d give them the 8 and teddy.   That’s it

You apparently think along the same line as I do. But I could see doing two #1, and Teddy if I really thought we could put together an offense to suit his strong points and keep him upright. 

My problem with Wilson is his insistence on getting every penny that he can. He seems to have no problems taking up a huge percentage of the cap but then complains about not having enough pieces around him. You'd have to at consider the fact that you might not be able to resign or extend him without killing your cap space.

    • Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic
    • I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
