Garrett Wilson could be an excellent addition for us, but I’m not convinced we will be able to get him for a price that makes sense for us. I think we’d be talking a first rounder or a second and some extra picks. With our team not being a receiver away from contention, we’d be better off building through the draft. There’ll be good receivers in the draft class and we can continue to build the trenches and upgrade the defense.

No way I'm trading away a decent LT for a WR

We’d be better off for the future if we had taken Wilson instead of Iky. Based on where we will draft, one of two stud LTs will very likely be available to us. With the two QBs, two CBs, Graham and maybe Carter, we might be better at LT with Wilson also. Iky is always going to be a liability pass blocking.

We also could have gone CB or C instead of XL. Team wise, I think we’d be better overall. I’m worried we may miss out on the clear defensive studs in this draft and reach because we don’t want a LT.

You can get a Garrett Wilson by prioritizing actual WR skills instead of RAS scores when drafting.

You can still prioritize ras, just make sure they do agility drills too.  Lol.  All the high ras guys we draft don't do any agility drills.  Their high ras comes entirely from height, weight, and 40 lol

Just go with film over measurables.  Take the best player.  Maybe his ceiling isn't the greatest receiver of all time, but he'll be more likely to contribute to the team.

This...is...stupid.

I don't understand why some are quick to trade Ickey. Only fans that don't understand our history at the position for the last decade, or just don't understand positional value due to availability (or simply luck) would be pushing a trade like that.

LTs are prime scapegoats, I would say second to only QB on the offensive side of the ball. So when the offense laid an egg versus Dallas, Ickey was right in the crosshairs.  Granted, it was his worst game all season, but having one bad game 14 games in shouldn't necessitate a mob of angry villagers with their pitch forks on the Huddle like last week.  The "trade Ickey" thread was over the top.

Why?

Diontae Johnson is a different type of malcontent. He was well known for not practicing at all if he had the slightest injury in Pittsburgh. And that’s from an organization with a strong culture, contrast that with Wilson who has been saddled with an organization that literally makes decisions based on the owners teenage sons and madden rankings. I’m not saying we need to trade the farm for him, just saying that he is not Diontae Johnson.

If you think we need to draft a WR at the top of the draft, you will want Wilson. I am a partial Jets fan now through my wife. This kid can ball, he runs great routes and can make insane catches. He is a true #1. He went through years of Jets BS with Zach Wilson, coaching changes, Rodgers and all that. He didn't complain and hasn't quit on the field. He just might want out of the circus. If you can get him for a 2nd round pick, you jump. 

 

Personally play style reminds me of Chad Johnson.

Well duh he's a #1 WR of course he wants to get paid. Why do you guys always bring up contracts when discussing good players.

 

If you want talent you have to pay for it. Who exactly are we even paying big money on this roster? It's time to splurge on someone for a change.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
