I'm guessing this also will help the cap problem this year.
I'm reading that his cap hit goes from just over $14 million down to right around $7 million for 2021. That's a very crafty way to get space by locking up someone you had planned on locking up anyways, way to go Hawks!
We are playing a little catch up with the Dunlap and Hyder signings, though the Gabe Jackson deal may have cleared a few bucks as well.Great....
Let's use it for our benefit!!!!!
14mil of cap space has been opened up with the last 2 re-signings.I'm guessing this also will help the cap problem this year.
I can't grade this high...
Metcalf is going to command a massive contract (probably higher than Lockett), Lockett is nearly 30, and Schuster/Fuller just took massive discounts. I'd argue Fuller is comparable to Lockett if he could stay healthy (and while Fuller has been injured mind yourself Lockett basically was in the same situation earlier in his career)... Wilson could've probably done a comparable job with him.
I'm assuming this is a Russell Wilson motivated signing because this is not a value contract at all and hamstrings us when Metcalf becomes a free agent (who is going to be a MASSIVE attraction even if he at a minimum duplicates what he did last year). Lockett has two seasons over 1,000 yards... BARELY. He hauls in a number of receptions but isn't putting any defense on notice.
C- (I'd likely go D to F if I didn't think this was solely to keep Wilson happy and a Seahawk)
That said, I love the Gabe Jackson trade... lol
Fuller is a injury waiting to happen lets just forget about him when talking about Lockett who been a rock of health wise in comparison. It doesn't hinder signing Metcalf in the least , since his contract isn't up until the 2023 season and the Seahawks have 159 million in cap space in 2023. They can extend Metcalf next off season with no problem what so ever...none what so ever.I can't grade this high...
