Carroll want’s inside pass-rush from the 3-tech which is manned by Alan Branch. Branch can also play the 5-tech that Red plays. If they can find a 3 that gets to the QB you move Branch to 5 and say good-bye to Red and his 10 mil. pay-check. I like Big Red but I just do not see the hawks giving him more than they paid Mebain. That was around 4.5 mil. I think. So Red hits FA somebody will pay him to play DE in a 3-4 system. Yep. I think Red’s going away.

It is a volume business. Football agents do not have an indefinite supply of big clients they need to run off to.

We need to draft a pass rusher and hope our 3 injured o linemen come Bach healthy.

Doesn’t matter if it’s real estate or football. Their allegiance is to their own pocketbooks first. Just like everyone else.

Can anyone blame them? If Seahawks have a contract offered Lynch should take it

The FT for a DE is $10M+, while the FT for a RB is $7.7M. The basis around Lynch’s contract would be around the $5-7M/yr.

I know there were problems in Buffalo but his time in Seattle has been marked by a high level of commitment, no off-field problems, and eventually a high level of production (as the line improved). Hopefully this deal gets done, or else the Seahawks should slap the tag on him.

Bryant is very valuable in this defensive scheme but he is not a typical defensive end and might have limited value to other teams. He is critical in Seattle’s scheme.

However, lets remember the Marshawn from the Buffalo years, where he was basically given away for a 7th round pick.
We all know what he can do, but the question is will he do it. Franchise tags and long term high dollar contracts are very risky with running backs whom may or may not choose to perform.

The deal sounds fair, please sign. Management will obviously tag you, but I think they want to save the tag for red bryant. The team cannot lose red and hawthorne to free agency

This is good free advice.
Use it.
Yea.. I know… I can do better. What if you break a stick in your franchise year? SEE YA ! No more soup for you.
Use your head.

He hasn’t shown he deserves guaranteed money, and Schneider needs to stick to his guns and be willing to let someone else pay a lot for the running back equivalent of Albert Haynesworth.

Not worth the long term commitment.

If the hawks walk away, do you think any team is giving this guy more than 2 years?
