What's the deal Hawks?
Re: What's the deal Hawks?
Very difficult times in Seattle and the announcement of a Clowney signing would give millions of Hawks fans a nice little emotional boost and the Hawks are F-ing around quibbling over a couple mil and risking losing him.
According to Forbes, the Seahawks generated $413 million in revenue last year and had an operating income of $71 million.

I believe it's more than "quibbling over a couple mil" . It's the guaranteed money.D-train wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 3:58 pmVery difficult times in Seattle and the announcement of a Clowney signing would give millions of Hawks fans a nice little emotional boost and the Hawks are F-ing around quibbling over a couple mil and risking losing him.

Re: What's the deal Hawks?
but what if those couple mill are the difference between being able to add a slot corner or not? and dont forget how much they value the flexibility of saving some cap dollars for roster upgrades after final preseason cuts or midseason acquisitions (Quandry Diggs - Exhibit A). That's worth waiting for imho. i have to assume at this point that they are very confident in their chances of retaining Clowney, that the competing market just isnt there, and thus they can afford to milk it for maximum value rather than secure a good deal right now. If wrong and they blow this, then yes they deserve the criticism.D-train wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 3:58 pmVery difficult times in Seattle and the announcement of a Clowney signing would give millions of Hawks fans a nice little emotional boost and the Hawks are F-ing around quibbling over a couple mil and risking losing him.

If they cut Britt, Dickson and Thompson they will have plenty of space for JC, another pass rusher and the nickel. Zero chance their is a better way to spend the 2 mil than lock down JC.57reasons wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 4:12 pmbut what if those couple mill are the difference between being able to add a slot corner or not? and dont forget how much they value the flexibility of saving some cap dollars for roster upgrades after final preseason cuts or midseason acquisitions (Quandry Diggs - Exhibit A).

Quarterback Russell Wilson can't make magic outside the pocket forever. At some point, he'll need a stout offensive line in front of him, but the Seahawks had the opposite of that in 2019 and actually ranked 30th in pass-blocking grade. Instead of replacing their subpar tackles with at least somewhat reliable ones, they replaced them with other subpar tackles.
In his three seasons starting at right tackle for the Jets, Brandon Shell has never cracked the top 50 in PFF pass-block grade. Cedric Ogbuehi, on the other hand, has logged only 957 pass-blocking snaps in his five-year career and produced a pass-blocking grade that ranks 83rd of 87 qualifying tackles.
B.J. Finney could end up a solid add on the interior of the line, though. He has a very limited sample size as a pass protector (he has recorded just 591 pass-block snaps in his four seasons), but he still owns a pass-blocking grade that would rank among the 15 best interior offensive linemen.
FREE AGENCY GRADE: BELOW AVERAGE

Re: What's the deal Hawks?
so i guess free agency is over then? somebody should have told Schneider that if he signs Clowney after the PFF grades it doesnt count and he wont get to play. asleep at the wheel again missing that new rule change.
Re: What's the deal Hawks?
They didn't give them a below average rating for not signing Clowney. They gave it to them for signing the crap Olinemen.
Re: What's the deal Hawks?
but i believe it was you yourself that admitted in other posts that the recent "crap OL" contracts were all low risk no dead-money guaranteed, so perhaps not particularly positive, but not a negative either. Also you have to factor in the trade for Dunbar - no reason to parse that out separately if you ask me.
