Now Russell Wilson needs an offensive line more than ever.

This kinda sucks.

This kinda sucks.

Yep. Why weren't we involved?

Honestly, I'm not sure I wanted the Hawks to spend 23.5 million dollars on a guy clearly on the downside of his career. I just didn't want him going to a division rival.

Yeah pretty much my feelings considering how injured Watt is and I have always said this about him. Even in his prime days the Texans defense as a whole was never that great. I wouldnt want the Seahawks spending what small cap they had in signing him but with that being said having to deal with Chandler Jones and JJ Watt isnt a positive thing.

Ditto... Rumors are that were going to release Dunlap and let him test FA... If we can't afford him at the current price, we definitely weren't going to make a run at Watt...

Cardinals have money to spend with the cheap-o contract for Murray at the moment. It's a fair signing... $23M guaranteed is a little stiff for a guy that constantly has injury problems but $31M overall is fair and wont break the bank to release him after this year. And if Watt stays healthy he is a force on the field. Knowing our luck Watt will play every game next 2 seasons and annihilate our offensive line.

Watt isn't who he use to be. Still he is a good player just not a top 10 DE.

 

[Janus]

Arizona being aggressive. They needed defensive help and it will show. Russell Wilson is still a better on-field general. QB quality means so much, look at Brady

Problem is, the guy on the opposite end of him... Chandler Jones... They definitely upgraded their DL/Bookends with the acquisition of Watt...

 

[Anointed One]

Wow... 49ers reach out to Carolina about a potential Teddy Bridgewater trade... Why on earth would they want him as their starting QB?

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

It's an over pay for an injury prone player. So much for wanting to win a SB.

It's a splash move and may help them some, but it's a short term benefit ,when the team roster isn't set up yet to win now IMO, so probably not the kind of move they need.

If Murray doesn't take that next step it's a waste of money.

Cardinals offense went flat latter part of the season. After the bye week they went 3-6 and lost back to back games at season end, where a win means they make the playoffs. Those two games they scored 12 points and 7 points and the only way they moved the ball was Murray running it. Was it the OL? IDK, but man they looked bad on offense as the season progressed after the bye. Especially the last two weeks.

If the defense was bad I could see this signing but with the offensive struggles I'd rather have used the money to upgrade the O.

Upgrade our LG, C, and RT. Either the starter or the backups.

Need to get one starter from FA, than get the other two through the draft but considering the FO is low on draft picks may need to go get 2 starters from FA.
