I agree with that... or our 2nd this year and next year...Bears giving up a 2nd for montez sweat, which will be almost a first.
Im going out on a limb and guessing it would have cost us our 1st rounder to get him.

Well point being, the trade made sense for both teams. I get 'who won' is kind of pointless, but just saying I'd give a SLIGHT nod to the Giants. That said, Seattle also had to give up a bit more draft capital because we couldn't take on his salary hit. I know a lot of people were like, "CHRIS JONES SEAHAWKS!" That would've not only cost more (in capital) but Seattle simply didn't have the cap room to afford him lol. I hate to say it but we need to keep some money around to sign guys in the event of injury (just like Frank Clark). Seattle can roll over that salary cap as well if (and hopefully) everyone stays healthy.
I think people that hate the trade (and there are people who do) are forgetting a lot about the financial implications of it. If we gave up a 2nd and 5th and absorbed the full salary I'd mark this down to a D or C range for Seattle.
I also agree 100% with your last few sentences... there's not a lot of depth on Seattle's DL and while I think our younger guys have done a great job, if Jones or Reed go out this defense is likely done. Williams not only ensures that's not the case but a combo of Reed/Williams/Jones on the field is going to make things quite difficult for offenses, coupled with Brooks/Wagner/Mafe and Witherspoon/Adams doing their thing. On paper that sounds like a nightmare.
Sweat didn't come for $650K (he came for $6M) and is going to command a MASSIVE contract next year which the Bears can afford. Williams plays a different position at DT/DE (which we need) but is basically free at this point and will likely come cheaper if Seattle resigns him. Seattle cannot afford a massive contract next year for Sweat and with Nwosu back and Hall progressing (hopefully) there's just zero need. Imagine if we had Nwosu right now with Williams coming over? That'd be fucking insane, now you're approaching SBOWL bound defense.
Both are very similar trades, there's just different needs at the moment from Chicago/Seattle. It's an interesting trade by Chicago... this will probably help them win a few more games and take their own pick out of the top 5 or top 3 which probably could've been sold for a King's ransom if Maye was there.
I like Williams for us more than Sweat anyway. Williams can step right in and make a difference in more ways than the pass rush. He fits our team to a T, imo.Sweat would not have been worth it for the Seahawks even if he is the better player, which is far from certain.

Good move for the Vikes. Too much talent there to just tank. Dobbs isn't great but he's a gamer who will still keep them competitive and better than anything else on their current roster.Just traded for Dobbs
Good comp Shark. Bennett's ability with more bulk and strength.He's an all over the line player. VERY similar to Michael Bennett which Carroll has despite trying, never found a replacement for.
As weak as the NFCS and the rest of the conference is beyond the top 5 teams, the Vikings would be a likely candidate for the 7 seed with Mullens or virtually anybody back there so I don't think it matters Shark. Hell, they could get a WC with Christian Ponder 2.0.I think it's an excellent trade for the Vikes. I don't like it because the Cards suck anyway and this just makes the Vikes more competitive and we want them to lose so they don't sniff a wild card spot... but I can't deny it's a solid move by both teams. Obviously the midget is back for the Cards and they should be in 100% tank mode at the moment given they have the #1 overall pick (although I think Williams would be like "Fuck that shit" if the season ended today) but Dobbs should be far better off in Minny given better receivers.

9ers trade for chase young son of a biiiiiiitch
For a 3rd round pick wtf thats highway robbery
Thought you'd appreciate that one buddy, cheers.Christian Ponder...
Strange, you've just gone too far with the comedy.
Williams is the missing cog in the wheel for the scheme we run. We want to run predominantly nickel. We need more size and talent in the front three to do so. Williams will perfectly compliment Reed and Jones. He is exactly what we needed.
Yikes. 49ers are trade sharks, though Young stock has dropped a ton.9ers trade for chase young son of a biiiiiiitch
