Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
How would you spend it, vis-a-vis our pending free agents, our extensions, and external free agents? For obvious reasons we've barely talked about this FA class.

Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
-Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson would be the play. We ain't going anywhere without a QB and Kyle Trask ain't it.
-Tristian Wirfs would be locked up long term. He's earned it. 3 years, 2 All-Pros & Pro-Bowls.
-Devin White would be locked up (He actually probably will be). Sorry, he's earned it. Is he perfect? No. But he also gets more blame than he deserves for plays that aren't his responsibility. He's an easy target but I think OBP loves him.
-Tag Jamel Dean, shop him and trade him if you can to the highest bidder. I think he’s a bit overhyped and we should capitalize on it by getting value for him.

Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
Seattle has never had a great OL or great OL talent. Well not true, the Hutchinson years were pretty good. But lately.
Yet they can run well and their offense have been explosive. This "system", does seem to do a good job delivering more with less. If a reshuffled line can be even just a bit better, and we still have our weapons like Evans and Godwin... then yes, you gotta try to reBrady things up with a guy like Lamar or Rodgers. Similar to say the jets right now. Or heck, us of 3 years ago.

Ummmm Walter Jones anybody?? He's only one of the greatest Olinemen of all time. Held down Seattle's LT spot for 13 years and was 1st ballot, something even Hutchinson didn't do.

Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
I’d be aggressive going after Lamar Jackson. If we can’t swing a trade for him, throw $$$ at Jimmy G.
Aaron Rodgers would be a no since GB won’t trade him to NFC team.
Focus on re-signing our top guys like Dean, David, and Gabbert
(Joking on that last one).
Spend on a top TE available like Dalton Schultz or Hayden Hurst.
Spend the rest on upgrading our OL.
But….we don’t have that luxury.

Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
If we weren't cash strapped:
* Lock up Wirfs and Winfield
* Re-sign LVD
* Sign Orlando Brown Jr.
From there, I prioritize Dean and D. White's replacements in this year's draft.
My focus would be building the team for a future QB on their rookie deal.

Throw money at an oft injured, mediocre qb? No thanks.
Pay a middling TE huge $? No thanks!
Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
Somewhat agree, but again, I am talking about a perfect world where we don’t have to worry about cap situation and we can go after the best that’s out there.acmillis wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 3:07 pmNothing personal, but this is the antithesis of what I think is a good idea.Navybuc wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:45 am I’d be aggressive going after Lamar Jackson.

Jimmy G may be injury prone, but given the options out there this offseason, I’d still take him over any of the others.
Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
I didn't exaggerate anything. Devin White is not a good football player. He is fast, but he misses tackles, gets blocked out of most plays and is terrible at coverage.
Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
Yet somehow racked up more tackles than every other player on this defense and finished 2nd in sacks. Tells me everyone else is a bum too, right?

Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
I think it’s time for a reload no matter what.
Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
A good reload or a bad reload?

Trask and all the new people.
Re: Hypothetical: If We Were In Great Cap Shape...
Anyone who thinks it’s time to reload can only be talking about a “bad” reload as in a year or 2 or suffering for high draft picks.
