Trade: [DEN/SEA] Russell Wilson and 4th for Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant, 2 1sts, 2 2nds, 5th

[Blitzkrug]

Denver won 7 games with Teddy two yards per pass and the rest of the trash they started when he was out. Underrated defense, playmakers on offense between Jeudy, Sutton and Fant?

They might not be a favorite but this definitely vaults them right into the playoffs. Kansas City isn't some unbeatable titan so the division isn't off the table either.

This is exactly the sort of distraction I didn't need at work today.

Elway going all in, again.

Cannot fault him for trying.

Honestly, I think all 4 teams are in play for the division.

It is going to be a bloodbath.

Curious to what Denver offered. Apparently Seattle turned down multiple first rounders from Washington?

Damn, kind of makes the Broncos contenders off the bat. Good defense, solid receivers and now Russ. That division is loaded

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I don't know about rebuilding. Carroll is 70.

Didn't think they'd deal him or have the patience for a rebuild...

They don't have a choice. If they can't compete with Wilson the chances of them competing without him are basically nil, there's no one available that will move the needle for them with how they're currently constructed.

They have to turn the page.

Stoically awaiting a full list of the pieces.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Much prefer dealing a haul for 33YR old Wilson than 38YR old Rogers

 

[Blitzkrug]

Boy that Jamal Adams trade looks even worse now doesn't it?

"I don't want to be on a rebuilder." Gets traded from the Jets to Seattle who...ends up rebuilding a couple years later.

Ouch.

Absolutely all 4 teams are in play for the division.

Was terrible from the beginning.

You can't give up multiple 1sts for a safety that doesn't cover well. Period.

 

[Terry Yake]

surprised carroll decided he wanted to stick around for a rebuild at his age. unless they flip that haul for a good starting QB, they're going to be terrible with lock starting

I know this must be difficult for you guys, but it needed to happen.

If I were you, I'd try to focus on the times Seattle did have with Wilson, and that the return from this trade should significantly help them going forward. But it would be wrong for me to tell you how to feel, so I'll pour one out for you later on.

 

[Apex Predator]

Wow what a haul.

That division is going to be tight. Wouldn’t be too crazy if Broncos just miss the playoffs. That’s probably best case scenario for Seahawks.

I'd be surprised if being terrible weren't at least indirectly the goal this coming season. No way they stand even a slight chance in that division as it stands today.

Is it just me or does it seem like that return is underwhelming?

Lock sucks and is only thrown in there so Seattle doesn't have to start Geno Smith for 17 games, Harris is a 30 year old DE with okay stats. Fant admittedly looked very promising as he continues to acclimate to life in the NFL and could be a great TE going forward.

The rest just seems blah especially with how valuable QBs are in this league..

[EpochLink]

With the now cap space Seattle has, they can get a stop gap QB or draft one.

It was time to move on from Wilson, he had a good 10 years there and got them a Super Bowl.

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah that is quite an underwhelming return

This is not an underwhleming return, don't know where you guys are getting that. Lock does suck, but it at least gives Seattle a look while they tank and get a top 5 pick next year.
