"if any other player was on the board besides connor williams, they would've made the trade for earl thomas." - broaddus

interesting he noted that schneider called dallas first and offered earl thomas for pick 50.

Wasn't it posted yesterday that the Cowboys called but the hawks did not return the call? Shenanigans on someone's part!!!!

Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Connor Williams was a gift.

 

[Beats_By_Zeke]

Better not let us down Conner!

if that's the case, then why don't we just offer our 2nd next year and get it over with?

Well I'm absolutely thrilled to have Connor Williams.

But I really want Earl Thomas as well. Either way would've been a win, but I like the end result better for us.

That said, I'm in the minority who still absolutely wants to make a deal for Thomas. Maybe both teams kind of agreeing on the second rounder this year makes the possibility of trading him for next year's #2 possible. That's my hope.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! You're so right. I am slow!!!

 

[dallasdave]

Glad we kept the pick.

Glad to have Williams.

Why don't we stop trying to be Seattle's sucker?

If they had anywhere else to trade him they would've by now. They have to decide whether to pay him, release him, or watch him leave.

But yeah, let's rescue them. Because OMG, Earl Thomas!

 

[EMMITTnROY]

This also means that Pete Carroll's whole "we never thought about trading him, he's a Seahawk" stuff was BS. Which is promising in light of the prospect of trading him instead of extending him.

My condolence about your father.

I am, and always have been, for the youth movement.

Way too many vets came here and stunk up the joint.

Thank God they kept the Johnny Walker Blue flowin'.

The way it always works is a pick next year is generally up a level from this year, although it isn't written down anywhere. So, we probably would have had to offer next year's one to get Seattle's attention during the 2nd Round for Thomas.

I'm for the year ouch movement too but we are incredibly young. Not against adding a 29 year old to that. That being said....if Seattle wanted a 2nd I'd give them a 3. They didn't want it...we moved on. I didn't think this team would do it but I'm glad they did.

Yeah it seems you lose a round when you wait s year. I'd give them a 3rd and 5.
