Here is what we know:  Morgan was not looking to sign a bunch of JAGs.  He was going for a top Safety and a top Defensive Lineman.  Signing a top CB (Horn), a top S, and he whiffed on a DT (calling DE a DT to avoid confusion). 

S: I think Moehrig will be the qb of the secondary and since S is deep in this draft, the other S may come on day 2 of the draft. 

CB: I think they will slow play the second CB, hoping maybe to get Jackson back on the cheap.

I wish maybe we had focused on a bit more affordable option than Williams. I think maybe we really put all our eggs in that basket.

I like how even by addressing the secondary Morgan also improved the run defense. Moehrig was one of the better run defenders at the safety position last season, so even if we lost out on Williams there was still an effect.

With the Patrick Jones II signing, the depth gets a little better in the EDGE room while still allowing a draft pick. There's also some good DTs still out there to kick the tires on.

I'm hoping we double dip at safety... Get Evero a free safety so that we can let Jaycee cancel out opposing WR1s again.

7 sacks last year.  "up to" is a key phrase in this contract.  I'd like to see the details.

He is strong vs the run, and at 265, probably will take Wonnum's spot (if they cut Wonnum) basically, he could rotate with Wonnum (another former Viking).  26 years of age--they are pretty much the same player, but Jones has more sacks, Wonnum has more hurries.

Patrick jones is good vs the run too.

      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
