Regarding value. 1 - nice find and maybe an other former Lion for us. Well done. He’s 30 and no I don’t know all players but never heard of him (did know Avril thought). 2 - thanks for bringing up White. I mentioned him in a reply recently. Maybe I got some SJ thinking skills over these few years of reading. 3 - SJ you mentioned this one before. And while gone, was mentioned, Falcons Mooney is likely going to be available and with a “poor” year, another “cheap” possible.
I was high on Humphrey as a CB pickup right after the Super Bowl. I believe he was in Seattle when we were having the Super Bowl parade. He played for MM and I think he’s hungry for a Super Bowl ring. Jobe, Humphrey and a rookie CB in round 1 or 2 and we are just fine next season.
Does D Law have enough leverage that he could push for even more money to play one more year? And, more importantly, would the Seahawks be willing to pay more? 🤔 Seems kinda legit that he might actually retire.
Read just now that the Rams are negotiating a “top of the market” deal with McDuffie.
Do you think they know this is the last year of Matthew Stafford and also that 2026 is the last year of Puka on a rookie contract, and that Devonta Adams is also prob on his last legs? Is the McDuffie bigtime grab (not only all those draft picks but also a big new contract) a “now” move to try to push them over the top against Seattle and Niners?
Guess we don’t want to be too over-inflated about ourselves but are they close to acts of desperation, mortgaging their future, and could Seattle be the reason?
And there you have it: 4/$124m. I’m sure that’s not the cap number but the AAV is $31m. On the other hand if you assume they’ll be picking at 27-28 and take the salaries of those positions it’s $7.8m total, so cap wise it’s closer to $23m/yr net.
Guess they better hope they can continue to fill out the roster with low costers like Nacua
I would love to see anything remotely as sweet as picking up Avril and Bennett. Avril was one of those guys I always liked from afar...like Shaheed was for me too. Hated playing against them...kinda like Juan Jennings. Johnny Value gonna spend wisely and prep for the future. Not one hundred on Spoon...could be interesting to see what happens there. JSN seems obvious but crazy things happen. I'm just going to enjoy the time while they last...it goes so fast.
A hard no on Jennings. Attitude issue. Also, all I’m reading he’s looking at a $20 per year contract. Might happen but I prefer a Rashid type not ball hawk type.
Maybe but Spotrac has a $22.6 per year estimate on him. Absolutely no way this makes sense. JSN light years ahead. Horton showed well before getting hurt. Rather a short term experienced guy than $23 mil for a guy who’s only had over 700 yards in a season once. But he has size that we lack. Grant that. But, one positive in your thinking here with him, our new OC knows him. Never say never. :-))
* He won’t turn 30 until Dec 28–this is a 29-year old veteran
* Boye Mafe will almost certainly go elsewhere. Given this and the likely losses in the defensive backfield, the Seahawks should not be in the business of deliberately subtracting an important EDGE
* There’s no pressing financial need to release him. Seattle has $56M in effective cap space and as per Spotrac is 31st in the league in dead cap money
I don’t know how salary distribution works. Nwosu has a base 2026 salary of $11M. Various prorations for signing bonuses, restructuring, and team option come to another $8M. Does he get the latter amount even if released?
According to Spotrac, at minimum the prorated signing bonus (3.75M) is guaranteed. FWIW, all things considered I’d be equally surprised by Nwosu being cut or renegotiated. There’s no such thing as having enough pass rushers and Mafe is not coming back. I don’t see why Schneider would put himself in the position of having to replace a second pass rusher when there is no financial imperative to cut Nwosu.
BTW, when the Hawks signed Cliff Avril in 2013, he was 26 and had 29 sacks from 2010-2012. No one in the list cited comps to that. The closest are Gary and Greenard:
* Both are 28
* Greenard makes more than Leonard Williams and reportedly wants a raise
* Gary’s production fell off a cliff in the second half of last season
Exactly. Saw a Seahawkers post saying Mafe would leave a giant hole and I had to question the writers research skills. Ucheena still producing. No we don’t have the “big time” sacker but we don’t need it. Our SB winning season, when we obliterated the loser Elways Broncos, no one had more than 8.5 sacks. MB 8.5. Cliff 8. BWagz 5.5. Team had 43. Cliff had 11.5 in 2016 but its team not individual to me. Ucheena and DLaw team guys.
I wonder if the poster thought Mafe was a RB or CB?🙂
I like Cam Jordan as a signing by the Hawks. He is old in football years, so would be a short term signing and is a bit of a risk. He fits well because he plays the run well and can get after the QB as well. He is projected for roughly 7 mil/year, so is a reasonably priced pick up.
I didn’t see the projection. If $7 mil and have him and DLaw continue Hall and whoever we draft “training” I would love that kind of deal. That be even better.
If Nwosu is cut the Hawks would free up about $11.4 million in cap room. They are already on the hook for $8.5 million. So, to me, the closer you come to that $11.4 million for a free agent signing, the less sense it makes to release him.
I think D Law stays at least one more season just to neener, neener genuis Jerry Jones by going to another SB.
Walker’s price may become more affordable when some GMs realize that a 14 mil long term deal for a RB , a position with the most injuries, is cap suicide. Horton can replace Shaheed and cost 90% less . Jobe and Bryant stay. JS will figure all this out, saving enough money to extend Witherspoon and JSN !

He’s under contract for 2 more years. Doubt it’s a money thing. Age and desire to compete for a back to back.

I bet that signing takes them out of the running for Woolen.
Yep signed that now it’s Spoons turn!

I agree with the attitude...but he does a lot of things well on the football field

The case for keeping Nwosu:
* Nwosu was healthy and productive last season
* He won’t turn 30 until Dec 28–this is a 29-year old veteran
* Boye Mafe will almost certainly go elsewhere. Given this and the likely losses in the defensive backfield, the Seahawks should not be in the business of deliberately subtracting an important EDGE
