This week’s Answers & Questions open forum contains a lot of great advice and insights from Seahawks fans — read it for Seattle’s hidden gems and best restaurant experiences that I didn’t post here — so I had to share some of your favorite highlights from the franchise’s past.
I saw an interview with John Schneider about funny conversations he'd had with players over the years. He had some doozies. One was about an undrafted guy who was invited to camp and he was giving him the details about $10,000 to appear in try outs and so forth. The player told him that he only had about $900 but could get the rest from his family. John had to explain, "No, no; we pay YOU!"
Nfc championship - Seahawks vs Bears. Afc championship Broncos vs Texans. Superbowl rematch Seahawks vs Broncos with Seattle getting a second Lombardi in a row. Fingers crossed!
Lions won't stay down, especially if the Bears get tough. When Campbell finds a Jalen Milroe, watch out. He will have them back to explosive knee-cappers this year, Goff or no Goff.
6'5"? Runs a 4.30 40? I will do all I can to encourage our Ty Broden to do what hasn't been done! Convert to Defense! Get tight with Sherman! Learn to River Dance! Your ankles can be a challenge to keep in healthy shape, but then you aren't a heavy Big Man. MacDonald is looking for ways to shut down Nakua. Shut him down and you can name your ticket!
4.37 at a pro day, so maybe 4.43ish. At 194 lbs, about as rail thin as gets in the NFL, could be 15-20 lbs ligther than Puka Nacua. Per RAS, his short shuttle time was extremely slow and vertical wasn't very good. This is a tall, skinny man with good straight line speed who can't catch or jump. They might have to convert him to safety next.
Yes, I believe that if a player gets called up from practice squad to the game day roster, his compensation goes up to $40k that week. Jared Ivey and Connor O'Toole are typically practice squad players who would make roughly $230k for four months work (plus playoffs), but instead they made $855k for four months work plus playoffs.

NFL practice squad may not be a bad living, but Ready Squad is better!
