he still is a monster at ILB, he only had 170 tackles last year. I’d definitely kick the tires and see what he’s looking for. Price has got to be right no doubt. His veteran presence for 2 years would be amazing as they bring up the youngsters. Might be able to really help out with K9.

There’s an idea. Try something, anything.

$12 mil per year and some nice jewelry to go with it!

So now we have to deal with Russel Wilson - there are really good QBs in the AFC except for the Raiders with Choker Carr. Lol The Superbowl could come through the AFC west this year the Chargers need to be prepared its not going to be easy.

[Leslie Grossman]

Lol. Not in a million years would the Bowlen family or the league do that to Denver.

Tuesday’s news that the Seahawks will trade quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos was a long time coming. The seeds were planted longer than a year ago, when public signs of frustration from Wilson first surfaced.

I’ve studied this one carefully for years. The Seahawks, after three wage-scale seasons with their 2012 third-round pick, had to pay market-value contracts to Wilson twice, in 2015 and 2019. Three years ago, with agent Mark Rodgers playing hardball and insisting on a new deal before the start of the offseason program, the Seahawks gave Wilson a then-record deal worth $35 million per year.

Rodgers, a one-player agent who can drive a hard bargain without worrying about the impact of such stances on his other clients, has twice insisted on four-year extensions. That approach gets Wilson back to the table more quickly. And when the Seahawks gave Wilson his latest deal, they knew that a very difficult decision was four years away. Would they give their 34-year-old quarterback a market-value deal, or would they say, “Enough”?

It’s the core dilemma of the Let Russ Cook narrative. If the Seahawks don’t regard Wilson as a quarterback through whom the offense should run, they will eventually tire of paying him market value. Likewise, if they don’t want to pay him market value, they should trade him to someone who will. Now, they have.

Next year, the Seahawks were staring at another effort by the Tom Hagen of football agents to force Seattle to pay huge money. If the team decided not to do it in 2023, it would have been harder to get the package they finagled now, since the new team would have to both compensate the Seahawks and give Wilson a gigantic new deal.

Considering those factors, now was the right time to do it. Could they have gotten more last year? Maybe. But they weren’t ready to move on. Now, the Seahawks were willing to close the book on the team that went to consecutive Super Bowls and start over.

It was inevitable. They decided not to delay it, and they probably did better in the trade than they would have, if they had waited.

Pro Football talk.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Denver is trading its 2022 first-round pick (No. 9 overall), its 2023 first-round pick, its 2022 second-rounder (No. 40 overall), another second-round pick in 2023 and a 2022 fifth to acquire Wilson. The Broncos will also receive a 2022 fourth-round pick in return.

The Donks are taking a bit of a gamble here. Wilson is certainly still producing at a high level, but can he keep it up? Maybe. But all those draft picks they gave up, PLUS shelling out megabucks for Wilson's new deal, could set them back financially. They may not be able to sign quality FA's in the future due to bumping up against the cap. Currently the Donks have $26 mil in cap space. A lot of that will get eaten up by Wilson's new deal. Short term gains, but long term, I think the loss of all those high draft picks and the megabucks spent will hurt them.

If it hasn't already been posted, it appears as if Carson Wentz will be/has been traded to the Washington Commanders.

Pretty much a loss for the Colts (the trade for Wentz, that is), as they lost a 1st rounder this year. They are getting two 3rd-round picks (one of which can elevate to a 2nd in 2023), so I guess that softens the blow a bit.

Is Garoppolo next?

Pretty much a loss for the Colts (the trade for Wentz, that is), as they lost a 1st rounder this year and will only get, potentially, a 2nd-rounder - next year - from Washington.

Is Garoppolo next?

Colts just got better.
