2024 Season Thread

[Anointed One]

In Season Trades:

• Amari Cooper was traded to the Bills along with 6th round draft pick in return for a 3rd and 7th... Meh...
• DeVonte Adams was traded to the Jets for a conditional 3rd round pick... Meh
• Today, Z White, DE for the Browns was traded to the Lions along w/ a 7th in return for (2) 6th rounders... Meh...

The value in return during the season isn't as good as it can be in the off season... Teams aren't going to give up high draft picks for players that may only play 8 games for them this year vs a full season... You're willing to give up DK for a conditional 3rd rounder, 2nd rounder at best? We would not get a 1st rounder for him if we trade him mid season... Off season trade? I would be surprised if we didn't get a 1st rounder...

Trading him in the off season would more than likely land us a 1st rounder for him...

Off season Trades:

• Chiefs trade T. Hill to the Dolphins in return for a 2022 first-round pick (No. 29), second-round pick (No. 50) and fourth-round pick, plus fourth- and sixth-round picks...
• Bills gave up a 4th & 5th along w/ Diggs to the Texans in exchange for high 2nd rounder (33rd overall)...

I personally don't feel there is an urgency to trade DK at this time... I would rather wait til the off season in hopes that we can get more value for him...

Id only do it for two firsts, may have to wait for draft day after the top 5 Wrs have already been taken

 

[JMR]

I am definitely not expecting anything close to 2 first rounders, but I do think it makes more sense to trade DK than to give him another contract. We have other things to spend those limited resources on, like O line. DK is an impressive talent, but high priced WRs is not the path to winning in the NFL. They are not fundamental building blocks of a winning team.

 

[MrS]

Maybe two firsts wont happen but on the right team he could be the difference between an nfcc loss and a SB appearance. Thats worth two firsts especially when theyll be late

The trade deadline is in 3 hours so its moot anyways

Don't see any team willing to give up a lot for him right now

Why does this not surprise me?

Looks like it's a tank season this year, people. Get ready for mass disappointment.

Already settling in very snuggly into the disappointment

I have only felt this way a couple times in my ~45 years of being a Seahawks fan, but I'm glad there's no game this week and relieved I don't have to watch this team play. Hopefully the break will do us both some good.

100% agreed, this team has been making me sick. 1-5 after a 3-0 start. Macdonald also seems afraid to play the young guys. Get Haynes more playing time, Have Olu play a little guard also as he cant be worse than Tomlinson and it gets him on the field. These young guys NEED to play to get better. Murphy should play 60%+, Knight should be one of your starting Linebackers. Stop fucking around get these young guys on the field NOW so later they are up to speed. We have all seen Knight p[lay well at Linebacker, yes he made some "Rookie" Mistakes but he looks the part so WTF is he not getting shit for snaps? He has been in for 20% of the total plays on Defense and most of that came in 1 game. He has 4 games where he never saw the field on Defense ( not counting week 5 )! WTF! After week 4 he has seen a total of 7 Defensive snaps!

100%. Why are we spending 3rd round picks on guards to not even activate them for a game? Charbs seems useless, Olu is whatever, wtf? I get Bradford's athleticism is amazing but how the fuck are you still starting him at right guard? He's cooked... put in Haynes and at least TRY...

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Could it be that there is a disconnect between the coaching staff and JS and his scouting staff? JS gave a strong stiff arm to keep the entire coaching staff away from the entire draft process. So the coaches aren't vested in rookies and are focus in who gives them the best chance to win this week. Always though when Pete was involved with the draft it made him more vested in the rookies success.

Holy cow! The off season additions to replace Wagner and Brooks turn out be bums and there was hardy any depth behind them. Those who want to see more of Knight might get there wish. Guess the Seahawks couldn't find any team to take Dodson off their hands even for a future 7th.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

Oh fuck yeah. Signed N'Keal Harry.

Dude is basically the same as DK so we're stacked now.

That is such a weird release at this point in the season.

They dont save any money by doing it. And now they dont have him for depth if one of the new LB's get hurt.

Must be something behind the scenes going on I would assume.

Oh, I get it...

Macdonald is to the Seahawks what Dave Hakstol was to the Kraken...no belief in bringing the kids out to play, just the veterans.

We saw what happened to the Hak when he did this, and far be it for me to say we're in a hot seat situation now for the Hawks...well, actually, that happened here once before. Jim Mora, Jr., 2009, just to make way for Carroll.

Macdonald, you are about to be "one and done."

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Dodson has been useless.... I'm sure Jones would've been on the list too but we're kind of stuck with him through 2024 because of that contract.

We knew ILB was going to be a major hole this season. Nobody else wanted Baker/Dodson and they were reaches, and I applaud the team for trying... but it just didn't work out.

The thing that pissed me off with Dodson was a game (think it was Lions?) where he ran up to the receiver, the pass was thrown, he STOPPED... waited for the guy to catch it, and THEN tackled him. Like WTF? Just make a play on the ball? You probably could've had a pick 6 at that point... it was the goofiest shit I've seen in some time, like a Madden glitch or something. I mean Woolen not making a play on the ball and waiting it to come for him is one thing, but for Dodson to be running up to a guy, STOPPING, waiting for him to catch it, crazy...

 

[Screamin12th]

Oh but "Linebacker" wasnt a big need some here said. Our linebackers have been DOG SHIT all season even Jones has only been back-up quality since ariving and no better than the man he replaced ( and costed a 4th round pick! ). Sure he needs time to learn the Hawks defense but it is what it is. This defense needs Linebackers in the WORST way and it's the reason i want Knight playing NOW! Is he viable? is he depth piece? You sure as hell cant tell when he ISNT FUCKING PLAYING! The Linebackers need to be fixed but its NOT HAPPENING this season unless some "Rookies" step up. This next offseason is going to be all about Linebackers because a good group of starting linebackers can take a piss poor defense and make then very good. Yes LINEBACKERS have that much effect on a Defense. They are comparable to how much of an effect a QB has on offense.

I mean, screamin' you know I was mocking Colson in the mock drafts I posted here. And I know he's on IR, just saying, ILB was a huge need... so was IOL, etc. What is fucking maddening to me is we spent a 3rd round pick on a right guard, Bradford (who basically lost us a playoff spot last year by going peewee football blocking against the Steelers) is STILL STARTING.

Like WTF? I get Dodson/Baker were last minute resorts, and we did draft Knight... but why didn't we pursue someone like Queen? And then we keep kickin' the can down the fuckin' road with HORRIBLE restructures... whatever. I think Schneider is on the way out if this team wins only 2 more games. I also heard as a rumor MacDonald in reference to Bradford said "It is what it is." LOL... nice. I understand you don't need to be spending every 1st round pick on IOL, but Seattle has been horrible about addressing it.

I have said it for a couple years now that this feels like TR moves that JS keeps making. We all remember what that did! It set the franchise back YEARS! Band-aid moves do NOTHING but hurt your team and i am tired of seeing them each and every year.
