Fingers crossed, I hope Lewis is the Best Olineman we have drafted in 10 years ... that's not saying much. lol
I’m going to make a prediction, we are gonna either sign Griffen or trade for pass rush. We are out on Clowney, calling it now.
either way, we are about to get better on the d-line.
12 mil in cap space cleared. Hoping for Clowney or Griffen and gut feeling we'll know this week.
Whats up, 8? Are you still in Arizona or back up here in this CoVid clusterfuck?my dude!!

Go check the 1st and second page of the clowney thread, you and others got up in arms when i said britt wasnt that good.
Both Seahawks general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll were bullish about the prospect of Lewis starting in 2020 when asked following his selection in the draft on Friday night. Schneider noted that Lewis already experience in 22 games of “big-time football” playing for 2019 national champion LSU, and Carroll said Lewis “won’t take a back seat to anybody.”
With Lewis more than likely going to start, I wonder if Finney will be our new center since Lewis and Finney play the same position... I don't want Joey Hunt to be our Center again...
Tomorrow at 1:00 PST is the deadline for signing players that will count towards draft pick compensation. Can't imagine this matters to the Seahawks since we have brought in several more players than have left, even if Clowney leaves. But they seem to want to have available cash for tomorrow.
Obviously Clowney would be great, but I like the idea of Griffin. We have a LOT of young edge rushers in Green, Collier, Taylor, and Alton Robinson... also Jordyn Brooks had the most QB pressures of all linebackers so would not be surprised if we blitz with him (not traditionally what Seattle does but who knows).
Griffin would definitely add a veteran presence in the locker room to coach those guys up. I think we could get Griffin for $10-12M per whereas it sounds like Clowney wants $18M+ per, and with his injury history plus at times lazy attitude I'm not sure how I feel by giving him a HUGE contract for 5+ years. I wonder if he'll just get fat/happy and lazy. ZERO shock he was one of the best EDGE rushers last year... in a contract year -_-
Point being, we give Clowney around $18-20M and he cashes out and mails it in... ouch, that's going to hurt our team for 3-4 years. If you give Griffen a 2 year $25M (or 3/$35 let's say) with maybe 40% guaranteed, and he doesn't pan out, you're fine.
Both are high risks though. Clowney because of past work ethic and injury issues. Griffen because he checked into a sober house in 2018 and was generally batshit crazy. Seems Griffen has turned his life around but always possibility of a re-lapse if he gets a new contract and he's kind of at the point in his career where he may scoff at a '1 year prove it deal'.
I most definitely worry about signing Clowney to anything more then a 2 year contract, one year would be best. I don't believe he is going to produce beyond that and hate to see the amount of dead money involved in cutting him if he signs long term.Obviously Clowney would be great, but I like the idea of Griffin.

That's just a quick runthrough from the first page of threads. It also doesn't include any post that didn't mention Britt by name, or anyone who agreed with said posts and thus didn't post themselves. The idea Seattle would/could/should and any other ould out there, cut Britt has been a popular opinion since he got hurt.
BTW, your conversation you were pointing to was in the Clowney thread
