Between the salary he wants (and wants guaranteed) plus having to give up picks for him, can't get on board with that.

Tepper isn't on board either.

There has been a consistent.. tone lets say of not letting players call the shots. 

Reiterated in Reich’s response to players wanting artificial turf removed in his intro presser. “The players are important and we love them but leadership is driving the bus” (or something like that)

We couldn’t even tolerate Chosen Anderson’s ego - not sure how well Lamar would be received.

Gotta think that SEA is gonna go after AR right?

I actually don't hate that deal for them, opens up a LOT of doors, and they are kinda used to overpaying for QB play.

1 year expensive bridge deal it looks like...but very little dead money after it.  Setting the team up for the next 4/5 years I'm guessing.

Pro Football Network's Adam Beasley believes Geno Smith's new contract with the Seahawks makes QB Anthony Richardson an "ideal" first-round pick for Seattle. 

The Seahawks on Monday locked up Smith, 32, with a three-year extension after his stellar 2022 campaign, when he led the league in completion rate and threw 30 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. Beasley said short-term security at quarterback would make Seattle a leading candidate to take Richardson with the fifth pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. "That security at the most important position in pro sports allows the Seahawks to draft the guy they think will be the best quarterback in five years, not five months," Beasley said. "And given Richardson is both the most gifted and the rawest of this year’s class, the stage is set for the Seahawks to secure both their present and their future." Richardson told ESPN he had a good interview with the Seahawks at the NFL Combine, complimenting head coach Pete Carroll's energy. "We are totally connected to the quarterbacks that are coming out," Carroll said during the Combine. "This is a really huge opportunity for us. It’s a rare opportunity." How long Richardson would sit behind Smith is anyone's guess. Rotoworld's Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter talked about Richardon's potential landing spots in a recent episode of the Rotoworld Football Show.

This. We signed Teddy to a three year deal and he was cut after one season.

The structure will tell you everything. This could very well be a "bridge" deal.

 

 

It’s actually a good move, they probably plan on trading down with a team wanting a QB. They’ll use that capital (and it’s going to be a lot) and trade up next year in a loaded QB class.

Trading up to three is pretty much mandatory now imo 

We’re going all the way to one. Book that poo.
