2025 season thread

Some dork on YouTube is rumoring Watt to Seattle for our 1st and 92nd overall (and he needs a new contract at 30 years old). I'm not putting any stock in that but IF we did that trade, I might just officially be done with Schneider...

We have the lowest cap hit on the O of all teams this year. And have invested money (DJAX/Reed/Love/Nwosu), a 2nd+money (Williams), a top 20 (Murphy) a top 5 (Witherspoon), two 2nd rounders (Hall/Mafe)... and then 4th rounders in Jones/Knight - not to mention money before both came in, and are eating MORE dead cap because of Jones. Enough is enough, if you can't make that D work with a defensive minded coach (the best one available in recent memory) + the draft capital we have this year, get f'd.

Take the 2nd and 1st and move up to take Membou if he's there at 10 or just secure Booker. Something that will literally help the team win games. We lost prob. 2 games alone last year because we couldn't move the ball one fuckin' yard (Rams being one where we were denied TWICE).

I have not seen the numbers, but yesterday on 710 they described Lock's contract as a 2 year deal. I'm assuming it's for more than $1m/yr, so I have to think Howell is in jeopardy of losing a roster spot. You're not keeping both of those guys.

Lock is 2 years $5M... and with Howell only costing $1.1M this year, it's hardly worth the rollover to let him go.

They may keep just Lock or Howell, but Lock gives Howell some competition. A little under 50% of teams kept 3 QBs on the roster last year, so it's possible they keep all 3 given how low the cap hit is... but Seattle has a lot of draft picks (unless we trade up). There's only so much room.

Wondet if howell for a 6th rounder for steelers..in case Aaron says no.. I just fe like Howell is gone now.

Seems weird to cut Howell if he's only $1.1M this year. Might as well just keep him around, unless we just flat out run out of roster space. He's still only 24.

I think if its between Sam Howell and 3rd year player Jaren Hall they keep Hall.

Hall from the very limited tape i have seen is a fun QB, thats athletic, yes he is older than Sam though. If you are down to your 3rd option at QB in the season you are not going anywhere so at least make it fun to watch. Sam Howell made me want to puke.
