Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
I really don't think Wilson is going anywhere, but...
Dallas: Forget it. It ain't never gonna happen.
Chicago: The Bears are only 3 million under the cap and they have zero draft capital. They would have to sell the farm. I just don't see it.
Raiders: The only team on the list that makes any sense (and could send a QB back to Seattle). They only have 14 million in cap space but could restructure a few contracts and cut a couple of vets. Sending Derek Carr to Seattle would give them 20 million towards Wilson.
Saints: The Saints are in a level of salary cap Hell never seen before. They are 63 million over the cap (no, that's not a typo). Even if Brees retires it's not going to save them. The Saints can't even think about going after Wilson.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
So now even the "play extending" QBs are crying about their Pass Protection? The only thing that separates the good QBs at this level is dealing with pressure.
As he gets older and slower, maybe he should work more on the mental part of the game...reading defenses, audibles at the line, getting rid of ball quick...you know the things slower QBs have to do to play in the NFL.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
The words "pass protection" and "Seattle Seahawks" should never be used in the same sentence. There's a reason Russell Wilson spends most of his time running around.Burn1dwn wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 3:51 pm So now even the "play extending" QBs are crying about their Pass Protection?

Short QBs pretty much have to be mobile, they can't see the receivers over their OL otherwise.

He most likely plays one more year in Seattle, moving him puts dead cap money on Seattle of like 39 mil, it just makes no sense.

Take Dallas off the list. Dak got 4 year $160 million contract.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
It is really crazy. He is just right behind Patrick Mahomes. And Dak really hasn't done much. He was a third round draft pick. And he has only won 1 playoff game. He's only been in 3 playoff games, which means he only made the playoffs twice out of 5 years. And when you are in the division that Dallas is in, that's not saying much at all. That is an average performance at the very best. Not 2nd to Patrick Mahomes.

the $160 million that Jerry Jones is going to pay Dak over the next 4 years is more $$$ than he paid to buy the Dallas Cowboys in 1989.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
what little bit of shiney Dak and Zeke and then Amari had when they first signed, seems to have worn off.
I heard that Texas Tech mailed Patrick Mahomes and his wife a scholarship offer for their daughter to play soccer in college.
I think their daughter is less than week old.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
There's no way in Hell the Seahawks would trade Wilson to a division rival and then have to play against him twice a year. That would be madness.

Re: Where will Russell Wilson land?
I can see why they did it. They need a QB but they have a shitty draft spot and no draft capital to move up. Plus, they got him cheap.Smok44 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 10:17 amGood luck on the Fitz train. Sky high one week, in the shitter the next
At least they didn't go out and get Dalton.
