3 first rounders, 1 third rounder, 2 starters for Wilson

[Direwolf63]

Seattle is stupid for not taking that.

Pete Carroll vetoed the deal because he's 70 years old and has no interest in rebuilding.

 

[CouchCoach]

SEA is nuts for not taking that deal. Worst case turn the deal to HOU for Watson.

Wilson unhappy with getting hit, try December in CHI with that wind.

Carroll has no interest in rebuilding at his age. So the deal was nixed

 

[Denim Chicken]

What were they supposed to do? Trubisky a free agent and I couldn't name another QB they have other than Foles

I guess you have a point, but maybe not put all your eggs in the Wilson trade basket.

 

[Denim Chicken]

100% Chicago would have paid Dak $40M in FA.

 

[Cowboyfanforlife]

Jimmy J. would have taken it in a heartbeat......trade back, pick up a couple of hundred more picks and build a dynasty within 3 years...

 

[Avery]

Yeah, Seattle is stupid to turn that down.

I heard today that watson has a say in where he wants to go and the only places he wants to go are Denver and San Fran. Pair that with if your getting Chicago's picks they are likely in the 20s. You are going to have to package some things together to go up and get your QB.

Would depend on who your 2 players were but I think If Im seattle you look at doing this. I think they over value Russ. I mean hes good darn good but his best years were when the defense was stellar

So would have WFT and maybe CAR. NE needs a QB but he's not paying any QB 40M, including Mahomes.

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?

I'd probably have taken the deal if I was Seattle. I could use a couple of those picks to trade up for a QB and really rebuilt the team if I were in Seattle's shoes.

 

[CowboyRoy]

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

The next 3 years. Not sure about the 3rd rounder.

 

[Jake]

The Bears are a QB-starved franchise so it's not a surprise they'd make a play for Wilson. When your second greatest is Jay Cutler and third is Erik Kramer...

Agreed.

I would take that deal in a heartbeat.

 

[Beaker42]

Depends on how far I think my team is away from competing for the championship this season, and who the 2 starters were.

So NOW we know why Dalton went to Chicago. We could’ve traded him to them for a 1st and 3rd and Roquan.

 

[mardwin]

We could have had a King's ransom.

I like how you think.

 

[Cowboys22]

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.

He counts $32 now and $39 if traded so yes it’s a big hit for a qb not on your team but it’s only $7 million more than where they stand right now. It’s not an additional $39 from where they are at right now. I still think it’s goes to whatever deal they may agree to has to have a path to get their next qb.

I'd need insight into where Wilson's mind is at regarding his contract. If I truly believe he's that unhappy AND I have no intention of giving him what he wants, I 100% take that deal to the bank. If I am just playing hardball but have every intention of eventually paying him, I wouldn't accept anything for Wilson.

 

[Flamma]

I seriously don't know what these teams think they are going to accomplish with a trade like that because it's a terrible football decision.

Patrick Mahomes is probably the only QB you could get away with doing a trade like that for because of his youth because that is going to set your team back bigtime.

I think the Bears mindset is to be an instant contender, picks be damned. Look at their defense. Add Wilson at 19 mil against the cap for the next 2 years and who knows?
