I’m a little surprised at how people have turned on jimmy graham. He never lived up to expectations, but I’d argue that was mostly due to him suffering one of the worst injuries for and nfl player and even with that he had a pretty good year last season. Maybe he’s not worth the money he will earn but it’s not like he’s a bum who only drops passes.

I feel it has to do with people disliking the trade to get him. They, in turn, can't allow themselves to like graham. I think, that if RW had been able to sit in the pocket and throw with protection like a normal qb, Graham would have had a lot more yards.

Bye Bennett :(

Man given the rumors swirling yesterday of the motive re: Bennett these moves have an undercurrent that is not a good look for the Hawks

I just read where we're still going to carry a $5.2M cap hit for Bennett after the trade. Wtf? But I'm not sure I put much stock in the rumors from yesterday, fake news! The only people upset by Bennett were the likes of my old, racist grandfather.

Looks like they aren't re-signing Paul Richardson.

Good. We already spend too much money on the offense.

Bennett traded, Sherman and Lane cut, Kam and Avril rumored to retire, Thomas on the trade block.

Seattle Seahawks and their Legion of Doom.

All of them over the hill, in football years, and eating up not an insignificant amount of cap space. This is the reality of an NFL with limited rosters and a tight salary cap.

Aging veterans on big money contracts with injury issues not being resigned by the team they've spent most of their career with is not exactly new. Congrats San Fran on paying off Sherman, you might get a season or two of mediocre to above average corner play out of him, but we got his best years. Enjoy our sloppy seconds.

I did need some salt for this lunch though, thanks.

Happy to oblige. We've been farming 9ers salt for years now. Seahawks fans have literal truck loads of the stuff. We store it in our underground tunnel that is never going to be finished.

Seriously though, he'd have been due ~$11M if he was on our roster to start the season, and with the injury, it's too much to risk for a guy ranked the #33 CB by PFF. And for what? maybe another 2-3 seasons? SF is willing to pay him for the scouting intel alone.

The Seahawks probably have about the worst to lose, and probably the most to gain, from that move. Any team on the west coast is overall going to be lauded for such a move, not condemned. And the racist fucks who do condemn, they can suck my dick

My racist-rear end co-worker legit cancelled his season tickets and tore up all his Seahawks posters over the players kneeling/linking arms for the first preseason game anthem this last year. I laughed at him, but the other boomer/ex-military guys around thought he "dun gud."

I'm indifferent on signing Kaep. If we do sign him though, we better use him in formation occasionally, ala Seneca Wallace.

Western Washington (and by that, I mean King/Pierce county, because gently caress everywhere else) wants so desperately to be Bay Area/LA-lite. It's disgusting.

I'm inclined to believe it, though the payoff possibility is real. A highly political deputy DA, who talked about using this case to send a statement? The whole process was handled in a bizarre way.

I'm hecking excited to see what happens with the OL this year.

LT: Duane Brown (Great but getting old)
LG: Pocic (2nd year in the league, 22, has upside)
C: Britt (average-above average, almost 27)
RG: DJ Fluker (bad?, 27, has upside)
RT: Ifedi (bad?, 23, has upside)

If going from Cable -> Solari adds basically any value whatsoever, the OL will go from "terrible" to "below average". Which is a huge freaking upgrade for that team, and I'll take it.

I'd like to see Ifedi moved to RG. I think he's better at guard. Fant will be back and is probably better suited to play RT and an upgrade over Ifedi.

But yeah, a "below average" oline will do wonders for the offense compared to the lolfucknotthisagain that they've had.

Having lived in LA, I know for a fact that LA residents give no fucks about sports teams in LA other than the Lakers. Clippers, Dodgers, angels, Kings, Chargers, Rams can all get hosed. Anyone claiming to like the rams are confirmed out of market fans.

The dodgers should be in their own category between the lakers and field but yeah this is pretty much correct.

Yeah Dodgers are a bit more "exception" than "rule" and you'll also have your frat bro, dude bro Trojan fans. But my experience was that people were more into the spectacle of sport or the social/status symbol aspects of being at the stadium rather than being hardcore fans of their team. Put it this way, I saw just as many jerseys, hats and apparel repping non-LA teams as home town teams.
