The 2022 Seattle Seahawks Thread

This THREAD is for general, perhaps smaller news about a divisional rival. A place to keep tabs with news about The Seahawks. And, for general trash talking when you feel like it.

Major topics, such as Russell Wilson Traded should be stand-alone topics.

Well I’m curious how Pete Carroll will do with all the changes. Would have thought he he was going to retire..
When he didn’t I thought he was going to make one last run with Russell.
Walden has brought in Blythe & last season Gerald Everett. Seem to keep some what interested in exRams.
Like Olgtree & the OLB from NC. that was The Rams all time single season sack leader with the Bears as well.
Cleveland? Hill & Johnson.

The Seahawks have 8 picks in the draft with 5 in the first four rounds. They obviously think they can rebuild their team via the draft. The problem is they don't draft particularly well. They hit on the obvious picks, but are barely average on the rest. This firesale should have included their HC as well. He's an old guy stuck with old ideas. (Not progressive like me! LOL)

They have been reduced to signing guys like Blythe for their interior OL starters. This franchise is angling for a poor season and a high draft pick in 2023 where the potential QBs are better than this year. They have needs all over the place. They are clearly going to be the #4 team in the division. From contender to doormat just like that. This is a surprising intentional tank. IMO they could end up with a top 5 pick next year.

How bad is it? They are projected to have over $73M in cap space next year if they don't spend any more money. The Rams killed the division in one year. Niners are starting a raw 2nd year QB. Cards still have crybaby Kyler. Seahawks angling for a high draft pick.

Speaking of Kyler he should note the fate of Baker who can't read defenses any better than he can. With Stafford signed for 5 years it makes Perkins expendable trade bait. IMO they should keep Perkins over Wolford. Wolford look like a real JAG last year. Perkins is a better fit than Wolford for this offense. If he has a strong pre-season again the Rams probably will get calls. If he hits the waiver wire he won't last long.

If they put a leash on Pete they might be able to do it via the draft. He's had too much say in personnel and the draft operations over the last 4-5 years.

Even with one good draft they're still set up to suck with Luck or Mayfield at QB.

Den,
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. That "song" is absolutely hilarious!
I can't wait to have my friend from Seattle and die hard Seahawks fan, suffer through this thing.
I'm going to tell him I made it through so I expect him to do the same.
Geez, if ever there was an all time list of Grate on your nerves songs this one is definitely on it.....

METCALF TRADE ALWAYS SEEMED POSSIBLE; NOW IT LOOKS LIKELY​

We’ve been talking about a possible DK Metcalf trade since December, and now everyone else is catching on to the idea that this could indeed happen — especially as the explosive wide receiver market has surprised John Schneider and the Seahawks.

In the first week of free agency, three receivers got deals worth at least $20 million. Then Davante Adams, who annually is among the three best receivers in the league, topped the market at $22 million per year after he was traded from Green Bay to the Raiders.

Then Tyreek Hill trumped that, getting $25 million a year from Miami as part of a trade from Kansas City.

Metcalf has not earned that much, especially after a disappointing 2021, but he certainly can argue that he should be paid more than the Bucs’ Chris Godwin ($20 million), the Chargers’ Mike Williams ($20 million) or Christian Kirk, whose deal with Jacksonville could be worth $21 million a year.

So, yeah, Metcalf may seek $25 million. And the Seahawks probably don’t want to pay it.

Pete Carroll said he wants to re-sign Metcalf, but Schneider told Seattle Sports 710 AM that “there’s a sense of shock” at the receiver market. Schneider often will flat out say when he wants to keep a guy, but he did not say that about Metcalf.

All he said was: “Everybody loves DK. He’s a great player. People have to game plan for him and he influences every single game that he’s a part of, whether it’s people shifting coverages his way or him just running straight through the coverage or having guys play man (coverage) where he’s just tossing people off him, right? He influences games, there’s no question about it. And we love him. Everybody in the building loves him.

“Specifically with extensions and contract situations, we don’t get into that. He’s an unbelievable player. It is a great question because when you look at it around the league, now you’re looking at Davante and his deal and Mike Williams’ deal and obviously what happened with Tyreek.”

It’s similar to 2019, when the pass rusher market hit $20 million and the Seahawks chose to trade Frank Clark rather than pay him. (He won a Super Bowl with Kansas City, but he has just 18 sacks in three seasons and just had to redo his deal to stay.)

With 2022 looking like it probably will be a ramp-up season, it would not be a surprise — or a mistake — if the Hawks decided to add to their two-year stock of picks by trading Metcalf. He’s the most valuable asset they have (now that Russell Wilson is gone), and he’s a luxury for a team that needs to quickly power up some other positions and still can win without him anyway (assuming a quarterback is found).

Adams yielded Green Bay a first-rounder and second-rounder, while Hill returned five picks to KC — a 1, a 2 and three Day 3 picks.

Metcalf, five years younger than Adams, certainly would net at least a 1 and 2 as well. That could give the Seahawks two 1s and three 2s in this draft — some great ammo to address left tackle, corner, pass rusher/linebacker, quarterback and running back.

The Seahawks still would have a number of good receiving options in Tyler Lockett, Dee Eskridge, Freddie Swain, Noah Fant and Will Dissly. And the draft is now annually loaded with lots of good receivers. It’s a position you don’t have to overpay.

Some have mentioned dealing Lockett, but he just got a planned $13 million option bonus and the Hawks would take a big cap hit (an extra $21 million) if they traded him before June. Even a trade after June 1 would mean $21 million in dead money in 2023, so Lockett is essentially “locked” in through 2023.

The big question is whether the Hawks want to pay Metcalf, too, or use his value to fill other positions. As we suspected months ago, it’s looking more and more like it might end up being the latter.

Adams>Hill>>>>>Metcalf. Metcalf is talented but not a game changer yet. He is emotional and immature so I see the Hags trading him as he will want $22m+ to feed his insecurities.

DK looks like the NFLs version of Dennis Rodman. His hair, his clothing, and his behaviors.

Your a fast decent WR, but you’re not worth 25 mil a year. Plus, you benefitted from having a top tier QB.

I’ve never been against a player getting paid, although they should be realistic about it (IMO).
