Very detailed, very thoughtful, and quite bold. It’s a deep dive and I am usually in the shallow end of the pool. I’m glad you want to keep Tyler. I love that guy. Surprised about Everett over Dissly but I get it. So many challenges and tough choices. Doc, you gotta give your boy Kenneth a free pass here. He earned it!

I like the trades.

I'm on the fence with Lockett. I get your argument though and I think I'm on-board with keeping him. The team must have a QB in mind and I think the Lockett thing will make sense once we know who the QB will be.

I agree with Ronald. Well written and REASONABLE. By trading Gabe, you also open the door to move Lewis to his natural RG position. I believe Damien could thrive at RG. Put Haynes at LG????

Keeping Tyler is a good idea. I just hope we sign a QB who can acurrately throw the ball to him. I am MUCH harder on Meyers. He has to GO, PERIOD. While the Seahawks were not realistically going to be a playoff team last year, the frustration from the fans and I am sure teamates with Meyers poor effort at kicking points after and FG's simply was unacceptable. A kicker has ONE job, if he cannot perform his job at a high level, gonzo. Just don't bring in some new re-tread please. I agree with Mayowa, Hyder and Collier. Just don't waffle at the draft or FA thinking these guys will fill Seahawk needs. I am ok with Penny's 2022 salary etc. but he damn well better prove himself in 2022 (which includes avoiding the big injury bug) in order to pay him a base of $6M in 2023. Diggs, gotta sign him. Jones, yes, sign him. We should have a hard negotiation with Reid. I feel we need to sign him too but at a fair to him and Seahawks price. If this cannot be done, let him go. Brown, Shell, Pocic, all wave good bye in my opinion. Draft or trade for a C, give Stone a chance, draft Neil. Let a new O line gel while waiting for a franchise QB draft in 2023. Agree with Dissly (sadly), Collins, Nkemdiche (wish he had of panned out, damn), Jones and Smith. Smith walks since we know what he is about and let Lock be our backup.

Great work, Kenneth! I like the focus here, even if some stalwarts and fan favorites will move on - and really, after last week is there anyone more stalwart or fan favorite-y than who the team has already moved on from? But I agree that the time is right to get the ship in order, keep who you think can contribute for the next three seasons, and kick the tires on anyone with the potential to help for the next three seasons with some development - and at least the team will have answered any questions they have on their in-house talent, so they are only a few key contributors away from competing again in 2023 - hopefully in a younger and more sustainable way…

Dang, Kenneth, believe you need to find another Doctor. Also more than happy to keep Tyler who can take the sting out of a loss. At first i wondered about Reed leaving but it might be better for him and he can cash in along with the Hawks getting a compensatory. Might still keep Alex Collins to dance his way through the line.

Well thought out. I have not been much of a detail oriented fan but I love Tyler Lockett and hop the Seahawks keep him. I believe Dunlap was not used to the best of his ability by the previous DC. He will be a stud under the new Defensive regime, I believe. Now, in my view, the team needs a new and better strength and conditioning coach. There are just too many injuries year in and year out. I know it's a violent game but Seattle seems to have more injuries ever year than most other teams

I'd make some small changes, but there's nothing here I really dislike. (I do luv Dunlap, though). I say go for it!
