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.
