We may be higher on the talent than others.

Schneider's previous contract, which he signed in Jan. 2021, ran through the 2027 draft. Schneider explained Wednesday that contract contained a trigger that led to the two sides beginning to talk about a new deal following the 2025 draft.

The TALKED about it due to the trigger. Talking means they have to give him an extension prior to the season he is already under contract? OK Donn, if you say so.

Why doesn't everyone just put a trigger in their contract that requires their employer to extend them then?

no, she didn't have to extend him, but there was something about how his contract was written that made it expedient for Jody to try and extend him at that time, he agreed.

Again, why doesn't every athlete, coach and GM just put a trigger in their contract then? I have a hard time believing the organizations hand was forced. That doesn't happen. They extended him because they wanted to, and it was a bad idea.

you said there was zero reason to extend him. She extended him because she felt it was the right thing to do, the reason for why do it now was the wording of his contract.

A contract trigger, also known as a trigger event or trigger clause, is a specific condition or occurrence that activates a particular clause or the entire contract, initiating certain actions, obligations, or consequences. These triggers are crucial for defining when specific terms of a contract come into effect.

You kill me. Thank you for telling me that the organization did what they thought they should do. I am disagreeing with their decision. You know, having an opinion and stating it? You should try it. Pointing out that the reason to extend him was because they wanted to is the dumbest shit ever, but you do it over and over again, and then wonder why it annoys the shit out of people.

Do YOU think they should have extended him? Don't tell me "well, Jody wanted to", or "take it up with....", I fucking know that she wanted to. That's why she extended him. I think she made a mistake. I thought I was pretty clear on that. Not sure why you want to go round and round telling me the organization is going to do what they want to do. The organization wanted to trade back in the draft over and over again and got stuck with shit players and the team got weaker. The organization does what it wants to do, no one debates that. Sometimes? What they want to do was the wrong thing to do.

I don't give a shit what wording was in his contract. He has proven for about five or six years that his way may not be the right way. She chose John over Pete....THAT, is probably the biggest reason they extended him. Doubling down to try and be right.

[Donn Beach]

I don't have a problem with them extending him. I said before the timing seemed odd, so that's been answered

Isn't that exactly what YOU'RE doing?
You've been banging the same drum for sooooooo long now - and virtually no one agrees with you - so YOU are the one doubling down, it would appear. Pot - meet kettle. If only Schneider was able to draft in hindsight... then he'd be you.
I love the relentless outrage - about the best GM we have had in decades - who has assembled what looks to be a very formidable roster and coaching staff. Yeah, should probably let him go. That makes so much sense.

[Donn Beach]

I think they are lucky to have JS as their GM, he's been a good GM as well as being a great guy, both him and Pete, greatest stretch of football in Seahawks history. And yeah, i was complaining about JS and his Oline back when Pete was getting all the abuse

No one agrees that our O Lines have been mediocre to bad? Ok.

Ignorance is so fucking bliss with you. Reading comprehension isn't great either. I never said "let him go".

No one is saying he didn't do a good job here. But stop talking about the past fifteen years like the Mariners celebrating 1995 and 2001 for two decades, and start looking at why we haven't done much of anything since second and goal. You keep posting this bullshit about fifteen years. Mike Holmgren was pretty good for awhile too, until he wasn't. Should he have received an extension based on the past, or did he get the axe based on what was going on then? There is no valid reason to extend a guy who has lead his team to one playoff appearance in the past four years and the team is a combined 35 and 33 over that span. The last playoff win was in 2019, and that was against a team playing their 4th string QB and we later learned basically had a broken back.

No one said fire him, but extending him knowing all of that? There is ZERO reason to extend him. Just more acceptance of mediocrity and fear of success, IMO. He and his wife wanted to be here. I remember Jim Mora Jr loving the area as well. I guess we should have kept him here? Fucking puff pieces. If JS had sucked for four years, and had one good year? All the local fan base and media would want to talk about is the recent success. But? When the success isn't so recent? Let's focus on the fifteen years in total and ignore the fact that we are a mediocre team, and have been for some time.

There was no reason to extend him. Funny, they have a hard fast rule about negotiating with players too soon, but JS needed to talk about his contract now! When he has lead us to 0 and 1 in the playoffs over the last four years and a little over .500 regular season record. Yet, better extend him five more fucking years right now even though he is still under contract.

Chuck Knox was the best Head Coach we had ever had....until Mike Holmgren, and then Pete Carroll. But I guess based on your assessment "best GM in Decades"...this guy deserves a life time contract? He was under contract, his performance has been mediocre at best....no need for an extension. Everyone loves this roster, and we had zero position players in the top 5 of the ranking I posted and only two in the top 10. But yeah, how could we ever live without the guy that built that? Better lock him up before we even need to.

Bullshit. Acting as if this can't even be discussed, and then making up bullshit? Fucking stupid.

But continue to put words in my mouth.

[Michael K.]

If your point is he might walk? Fine. You don't think there are young executives in the Eagles Front Office with some very interesting ideas about how to run an organization? You know, the team that has 39 and 12 in the regular season and and 6 and 2 in the playoffs over the past three years with two trips to the Super Bowl and one ring?

John Schneider wasn't a GM when we hired him away from Green Bay, there are organizations, not just the Eagles, that most likely have bright young minds ready to take the next step. If he needed an extension or he was going to walk? Fine. Why would he need that? He doesn't feel like he can prove he is worth it?

Pretending that because he took us to two Super Bowls a decade ago means that he gets to simply be here until he is ready to leave is absurd. Five extra years as a reward for a ten year regression?
