Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

McDonald, Thurmond, Schofield gone already

Seahawks defensive depth taking some hits early in FA. McDonald was a guy I wanted to see them keep. Hopefully the kids they drafted last year are ready to step in at DT.

    McDonald hurts a bit ... but you can't overpay to keep him ...

    The other two you knew were going ...

    There's a lot of pass rushers out on the market ... will be interested to see what someone would take to come here.

    Yeah McDonald and McDaniel are the ones I want/wanted to keep as well, but great for McDonadl though. He was really close to being out of the league and now he has a $12 million contract.

    Agreed, I'm happy for the guy, although playing for Shiano is going to suck ass after playing for Pete.

    Well now the story has changed to Thurmond is just "visiting" Jacksonville. Would have to think he's still going to leave, for their or somewhere else.

    At this point I'll be happy if they can just resign Tate for no more than $5M per, McDaniel on a reasonable small deal and Haushka for a couple mill. Jermichael Finley visiting is interesting, but I'd rather just renegotiate Miller's deal down.

    tate is visiting detroit.
    The good thing about Schoefield, McDonald, and Thurmond is we're racking up compensatory picks for 2015

    I'm totally clueless on the compensatory system, how does this work?

    I'm not fully sure, the round depends on salary

    I'm hearing Adam Scheffter will be hosting a kickass presser on the subject on NFL live this week.


    Assuming his kid doesn't get the crud of course.

    If you can somehow find a way to bring Finley in as your #2 TE that is blocking on the weak side and a threat in the play action passing game, I'm all for that move.

    If you are bringing Finley in to be the #1 TE at the expense of Zach Miller, then that's a terrible move.

    I don't think you can count on Finley to be healthy for 16 games plus the playoffs.
