Yeah I’d go with that. I wonder if we’ll get a jump at all from Fields this year

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Another top NFC QB (I guess) to the AFC.

The NFC is now Rodgers and then everybody else.

I wouldn't sleep on the 49ers.

 

[Avery]

That's... a lot of capital to trade.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Now you have Mahomes, Wilson and Herbert in the same division.

Carr is doing his own thing.

What if Carr gets traded to the Cardinals? He'd be a better option than Kyler Murray.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Oh ok, that explains his downtrend over the last 3 seasons. Dak’s had a few good games in a row as well.

Im not even defending Dak right now.

Not against elite teams

 

[tyke1doe]

Good to know what Dak might yield in a trade.

This guy gets it

I'm sure the Seahawks got a boatload of picks and I'm also sure they'll be lucky to find another Russell Wilson with whatever they got.

We should pull up your old Russell Wilson takes.

You never trade a real franchise QB unless you think he's done.

I started looking at top QB's over the years to see if there were examples of franchise QB's being traded by teams that didn't think they were done, or at least nearing done, and I found your comment is pretty accurate. I guess we will see with Wilson. He had a damn fine 2020 season. Maybe his best ever. But 2021 wasn't so good to him.

 

[Captain-Crash]

good that should move the baby dak up to #16 in the nfc.

 

[Tussinman]

Good haul from Seattle. 4 top 60 picks, 2 starters, and 19 million saved on the cap.

 

[MarcusRock]

Wow. Never expected that. Thought for sure Wilson was staying in Seattle. The biggest smiles out there are by Jeudy, Sutton, and Tim Patrick right now.

 

[NeathBlue]

AFC just got a whole lot tougher!!!

Maybe, only time will tell…
But they’ve given up a hell of a lot in draft picks and players… and as they were at best an average team playing in arguably the toughest division in the league, I’m not sure Wilson is going to automatically turn them into a contender.
Seattle are the bigger winners imo, they looked like they’re playing for 3rd at best over the next couple of years, so Wilson was just going to be wasted anyway.
At least now they have some draft picks back after sending theirs to the Jets and should have a chance of rebuilding somewhat quicker.

Watch them resign Miller and sign Demarcus after we cut him and boom Deja Vu...SuperBowl

 

[Cowpolk]

good that should move the baby dak up to #16 in the nfc.

Will that change his status as number 7 in the entire NFL?

Carson Palmer comes to mind. Traded to the Raiders due to conflicts, was so-so, then traded to the Cardinals and dominated; had his best seasons there.

Favre is another trade, he got pushed out by Rodgers, had the Jets at 8-3 before he got injured, then brought the Vikings to 12-4 the next year.

Montana traded to Chiefs, they had 2 strong years and made the AFCCG.

It’s not something that should be done unless in very unique circumstances though.
