I have trotted out all the different ways this Wilson deal could work out on the Seahawks board. At the end the only thing that makes sense is signing him, but yeah keep hoping for the worse for the Seahawks. That what makes this fun.
I think the team will figure out a way to keep both. It is not impossible especially if the cap increases again next year which is expected.
That link seems a bit misleading -- doesnt really match what the dude on the video is saying. Was more about use of the franchise tag next year (and then by default which one gets a deal done this year if only 1) than it was Seattle having to choose to keep 1 or the other.
Well thought out proposal IMO.
Guys have been leaving. We heard about how much we lost last off-season after SB48 (Clint McDonald, Chris Clemons, Walter Thurmond, Brandon Browner, Breno Giacomini, Chris Maragos). This off-season Maxwell, James Carpenter, Malcolm Smith, and Jerron Johnson left via free agency; Unger traded away and Zach Miller cut. So the team is already settled into "can't keep everyone" territory, though the list of "everyone" to keep is getting shorter because between this off-season and last, we've already re-signed or extended Lynch, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Cliff Avril, KJ Wright, and Michael Bennett. Wagner and the team are negotiating now; the only "star" player really left is Russell Wilson, and that's going to get done by hook or by crook. Maybe some of those contacts will collide down the line unless the cap doesnt increase enough, but there really arent any more big names that aren't with long term deals.
Yes, thank you. Duh.
