How are the seahawks not doing this trade

Its probably a mixture of a lack of cap space (i think they're at 7m left?) And not much draft capital. I doubt they want to skip both the first and second rounds of the draft.

More likely they thought Bryant wasn't worth cutting into a cheap promising player like Boykin's snaps. Then they saw Boykin play the last 6 weeks.

Thats what I am thinking--though I don't see Bryant being much better. I guess Julio Jones would be too expensive.

Word on the internet street is that its a combo of both. Dez looked "awful" in august and Boykin also sucks.

Schefter is so very wrong, not even close to getting most back

1. Vikings had to pay him some amount
2. Difference between a Vikings second and a Ravens third will be almost two full rounds
3. Whoever lets him walk will get a comp pick

Yeah, that's like pick 40 (Vikes 2nd) and 100 (3rd round comp) in exchange for pick 90 (Ravens 3rd).

re: ngakoue

quote:

Ngakoue made it abundantly clear he wasn't going to continue playing for the Jaguars after being designated as franchise player for $17.788 million. He wanted out Jacksonville so badly he put his money where his mouth is. In order to facilitate a trade to Minnesota, Ngakoue took over a 30 percent pay cut from his unsigned $17.788 million franchise tender. He is making $12 million to play this season for the Vikings.

Ngakoue borrowed the franchise player pay cut concept from edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, who took approximately $1 million less when traded from the Texans to Seahawks shortly before the start of last season. Clowney was able to finagle a clause preventing the Seahawks from designating him as a franchise or transition player once his one-year contract expired.

Given how big of a haircut Ngakoue has taken financially, it's shocking that he didn't get a clause like Clowney preventing a franchise or transition designation during the offseason. The absence of this type of clause should have been a deal breaker for Ngakoue with such a sizable pay cut.

The financial hit Ngakoue is taking gets compounded because of the franchise tag calculations. In most cases a second franchise tag is a 20 percent raise over the initial designation. In Ngakoue's case, he stands to make roughly $27.5 million on two franchise tags instead of $39,123,600 if designated twice without the pay cut.

Ngakoue should regret that he didn't get a tag prohibition clause similar to Clowney's. He is currently tied for fourth in the NFL with five sacks and on pace for a career high of 13. Although the 2021 salary cap is expected to take a steep drop because of the coronavirus pandemic, Ngakoue likely would have been a hot commodity if assured of hitting the open market in the offseason. That's because players in their prime who can get consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks and take them down are typically paid a premium in free agency.

Equally troubling is the long lasting ramifications for other franchise players Ngakoue's decisions may have. Ngakoue may have set a new precedent where a franchise player who is unhappy with his situation may have to take a steep pay cut where the acquiring team can still restrict him once his one year contract expires in order to get a change of scenery.
