News: DAL said no to trading Aldon to SEA

NorthwestDallas40 · Oct 31, 2020

Just saw in on Good Morning Football that SEA wanted to trade for him but we said no. Wondering if they are thinking about a long term contract with him.

I wonder what Seattle offered, but it doesn't surprise me that the front office is absolutely blind about the state of this franchise

Yeah, I'm wondering why they didn't too... seems like a good flip. But, maybe the compensation wasn't proper for them to bite.

I would have to know what the offer was. If it was as cheap as the 7th round pick that Seattle paid for Dunlap, I would have said no too.

I’d say nothing more than a 6

If it was a 4th it’d be hard to say no

How in the heck is this even being criticized by anyone before knowing what the offer was? So they are just supposed to accept any offer no matter what just for the sake of making a trade? Some of you fans......sheesh.

Lol the one FA they hit on to help the defense.

Probably wouldn't trade him either for peanuts. I'd want a fifth.

JohnsKey19 · Oct 31, 2020

I would have taken a 5th that may turn into a 4th based on performance. The likelihood is Aldon signs with a different team in 2021.

Tough call..

He’s 31 though and we are a mess.

Does Seattle have any draft picks left? I wonder what they offered.

The guy hasn't made a play in weeks. If we are being honest, Aldon Smith of late has been as bad as anyone in the front seven. He hasn't gotten much pressure, and is a no show against the run.

Please list below all of the successful trades with SEA.

It's exactly what it tells me.......and rightfully so. Sure he's slowed down a bit but that more the long lay off and conditioning catching up with him IMO.

What interesting about the Seahawks is they've every team looking help on DLine but for some reason won't play Snack Harrison who was signed to PS a few weeks ago. Even more interesting is he's turned down offers from the Dolphins and Bucs to join their roster.

Aldon's play has fallen off a cliff IMO. He is also slow as molasses. He is powerful as hell but his lack of explosion hampers our defense, imo.

I would have traded him. He is a progress stopper...

Right, as they keep Smith, and he plays very well. They can try to sign him, or can get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick, instead of that 6th or 7th round in a trade.
Too bad our couch GM's don't think of this before the post. :laugh:

And who's progress is he stopping?
There is enough snaps in the rotation to get players like Anae on the field. Armstrong gets his snaps also.

Dorace, Gregory, Anae, and Dlaw should be the rotation at both DE spots, IMO.
