Possibly, but if your Seattle and you trade Wilson you are obviously rebuilding. If I can get 40 million over in my first season of the rebuild, thats not a bad option. I actually dont know why teams dont use that strategy more often.

I hear your point. I would too (take the hit in one year) if they're going full blown rebuild. Maybe the foundational pieces would have to be moved also is what I was imagining wo really knowing that roster all that well admittedly. I would definitely take it and try move up for one of the QBs this year.

He's 32 and what are you going to put around him.

I know you Dak guys forget the goal of football sometimes but the goal is to win a Superbowl.

You aren't giving up 3 1sts, a 3rd, and 2 vets and recovering from that soon. He'll make them a wildcard team at best. But if all you care about is relevancy then yeah it's a great move.

That trade is more moronic then signing Dak and that's saying something.

LOL..........right, and your idea of being relevant is Dalton at QB.

Most people on this board are mystified by your posts.

And the funny part is that Chicago could have Dalton for 10 million or trade for Wilson and give up ALL THAT!! And they would have gladly given up all that for Wilson over Dalton.

Chicago is an INSTANT contender with Wilson for the next 4 years.

Yah, Seattle is primed for a rebuild. Wilson has 3 or 4 good years left?

I would have taken that deal, not many players are worth that haul.

Mahomes maybe but probably not.

To me it's just a way to market your team and the Russel Wilson brand.

He'd be in a situation like he is in now.

The 2 starters is what put it over the top for me. thats a lot with 3 firsts. In a normal world that should equal 5 starters.

I think it's the 40M in dead cap more than anything. It has to be worth cutting other valuable players to get rid of him. Next year they will trade him. So those 3 1sts and 2 starters weren't enough to take on the 40M in dead cap and cut some of their better players.

I don’t think it’s that at all. It really is only a $7 million additional cap hit this year to trade him. The problem with the Chicago offer is that it doesn’t include a satisfactory option to replace Wilson. The 1st this year is in the 20s. If you’re Seattle, any deal for Wilson has to include a way for them to acquire his replacement for this year and the future.

If I am Seattle, I do it. If I am Chicago I probably do it. Would have to depend on what Chicago really thinks their chances are. And those starters would have to be low end.

I’d have taken it. Heard that everything goes thru Pete, and he said no.

ESPN is just reporting that Chicago offered Seattle that package for Wilson and Seattle turned it down.

Would you have taken the deal or kept Wilson?

Partly depends on what years the 1st rounders were in.
Makes a massive difference, draft-trade value-wise.

I wonder if Wilson vetoed that deal. Windy city is a tough place to excel

I saw this and then they speculated that Watson would get at least 4 1st maybe 5, a couple of other draft picks, and some starters.

Huh dude was way off. I watched this the other day and was kind of using his number for the 40M dead cap yada

I think I see more now, dead cap is different than necessarily taking that hit just this year, etc.

I heard Jerry called Chicago Bears and they laughed hysterically before hanging up as soon as they heard we wanted more than 1 First rd pick for Dak
