News: Sometimes it's the moves that you don't make

[Stash]

I remember when a lot of fans were campaigning for the Cowboys to trade for Jamal Adams. The Seahawks ultimately did, giving up two 1st round picks-plus for him. They've since had to make him the league's highest-paid safety, and both he and their entire defense are now a mess.

Sometimes, it's as much about what you don't do as what you do.

The irony behind it is. The people here who wanted Adams and ridiculed Jerry for not getting him, would be the exact same people hating on Jerry now for making the trade.

+1 and just read a tweet where one league personnel said there's a million percent chance of Wilson asking for a trade after the season.

You mean an in the box safety in this era wasn’t worth all the compensation and cap space? I’m so surprised.

If that isn’t the truest statement idk what is. The fact we have Micah and ceedee is astonishing. Likely two all pros in their careers.

I wanted Adams but not for 2 firsts. And, not for the price tag

It's shocking to see the defense for a Pete Carroll team play and rank so poorly. If Wilson moves on, they're quickly in total rebuild mode. Would Carroll want to stick around for that?

They're a lot less vocal about their position now. A lot like the Garrett defenders.

Worst part is that they're hardly even playing him in the box!

Better question....would they want him to???? Maybe it's time for a change Carroll AND Seahawks

The reason we wanted Adams was because our defemse was soft with no attitude. Just look at Jaylon and LVE and his weak reaction to people clowning Jaylon. Those were the 2 guys manning the middle of the d. So yea, people wanted some dogs in the middle. Its jerrys fault that we wanted Adams. Donovan Wilson and Kearse have plenty of dawg and if we had them at their current form instead of Woods and Heath nobody would've asked for Adams.

Lets tell the full story

Seahawks GM is Jerry circa 2000. Still trying to live off of the Super Bowl years while having horrible drafts, making bad trades, etc. If you look at their drafts in the past 5 years, they are one of the worst in the league.

That sounds like the story that you want to tell.

They really are. The misses are pretty amazing. Including 1st round picks that never played a down for them.

If I'm the Seahawks I may move on from Carroll. He's been trading away picks left and right and the team has gotten worse. Trading Wilson would bring a lot of draft capital to rebuild the team under a newer, younger coach.

No one likes the R word but that team isn't competing for anything as it stands now.

It's wild to me how quickly things can change. I was looking at them and admiring them for seemingly handling the transition from the Legion of Boom era without having to go full rebuild. They stayed competitive and didn't have to hit bottom. But now it looks like that was a mirage.

Hopefully he doesn’t go to Washington or Philadelphia.

 

[fivetwos]

I wanted him badly....but never for the absurd price Seattle paid.

Nonetheless I'm glad it didn't happen.

We did need some sort of change and/or leadership. Quinn and Parsons will suffice!
