Seahawks' Free Agent Tracker

[auroraave]

Who are all these top shelf aka EXPENSIVE olineman that Seattle has missed out on? Are we still pouting that Schneider didn't over pay to appease this forum - the dude from Indy who had ONE good season - and it was for five games? Minnesota over paid that guy. SO, who are all these stellar olineman Schneider whiffed on that would make this forum happy? Can someone pls post a list? When all the handwringing is done, can someone name all the teams that have these incredible offensive lines? According to the think tank on here, everyone but Seattle does - so who are all these teams? What, maybe five tops? The whining and bitching about every single transaction is just brutal. Has anyone actually scouted ANY offensive linemen besides my favorite expert "....according to PFF....". Anyone? How many a listers were avail that would've changed this franchise's trajectory? Really curious who has been scouting.

We are bitching out of end-of-winter geezer annoyance, impatience with our stagnant team and the fact you don't make horse jokes anymore on this forum and then get banned by Joan Deutsch, nazi lesbian pony girl.

they all play for the Bears now. Seriously, first day Bears sign Drew Dalman - the top center and someone everyone was saying should be Seattle's first target as a great fit for Kubiak, sign Jonah Jackson, and the day before that they trade for the great Joe Thuney (a 4th freakin rounder!!!!$%*&?L<@#E$#${!!!!). Ironically, the best FA bet remaining for the Hawks is the Bears' own FA guard Tevin Jenkins - think he's a better fit than Becton although Becton is the bigger name. But other guys? could have signed Ryan Kelly - all world center of the past who didn't break the bank on his new deal. Neither did Kevin Zeitler for 1 year at $9M - would have loved to slot him in for Laken. Josh Myers was another affordable center option, signed by the Jets.

Thanks for providing the second essential piece to this tale of Seahawk deja vu.
They quit making effective O-lineman in what, 1977 or something? There just aren't any. You fans that want
a better O-line are just stupid and don't "know ball". Just ignore what other teams do and have, they don't know ball.

Yeah, there were guys out there, and there were CERTAINLY guys out there that are better than 3.5 of our lineman. I count Abe as .5 since he only plays about half the time.

It boils down to a few things.

1. Arrogance. JS doesn't want to admit he was wrong. The joke on KIRO yesterday was how many times he says things about other team's FAs like "that's a lot of $ for him." He has his way, and changint now would be admitting it was wrong. The problem is? HIS WAY has resulted in some terrible O Lines for over a decade. Might be time to admit you are smart enough to admit you are wrong?
2. They don't care right now. Building in the draft will make them better down the road, if they do it right. The problem is, besides some guys drafted in the top ten? Name the last stud O Lineman we drafted? It's a gamble. Seeing that they can actually play at the NFL level and then paying a little more isn't the worst thing in the world. I mean, if we scouted as well as the Eagles and Lions at that position? I might have more faith.
3. They simply aren't that focused on the Offense. You don't get rid of your QB and supposed Franchise WR and have all your major signing on the Defensive side of the ball if you are really all that worried if you can play offense. Again, defensive minded HC.
4. There are better players at the QB position next year. They aren't worried about now. Let Darnold hold the hands of this offense and punt to next draft. If they pay O Lineman multi year deals? That gets tougher. Again, word is Fries wanted to come here, but he wanted two more years. That was a deal breaker for this Organization. It would have been a major violation of rule one....don't spend big in FA, draft and develop. We've done a real good to great job of that at many positions. O Line is NOT one of those positions.

Bottom line? I think if they were going for it next year? They'd have signed at least one of the big name FA O Lineman. They aren't going for it this year.

Pretending like they have never passed on someone that would help is ignorant. Sorry AA, but if you Google FA O Lineman over the past decade, you are telling me you can't find ANYONE that would have made us better? Sometimes you surprise the shit out of me. Blame them for the QB position when they had a Pro Bowler there and really only missed on Lamar. But somehow? They did everything right at the O Line position and it was just bad luck? Come on man.

Great point. Again, it's there fault they didn't find a QB to replace Russ in the draft, but not their fault they never found an O Lineman besides Cross and Okung in nearly 15 years.

Just noticed Tre Brown signed a one year contract with SF. Not re-signing him might be JS' best move so far this off-season.

[maoling]

They are making some clever signings.

It's hard to hate what they are doing after cleaning house with me-no-happy DK and Geno. We could find 11 wins next year, nobody knows. I'll still make shitty casino bets on them.
