    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.

    Finley, Luke Wiilson, and Anthony McCoy is a fine trio at TE. You can always draft another in the later rounds, use a tackle in extra TE sets like they did in the playoff, or sign a blocking TE for the minimum. No point to pay Zach Miller 7 million. He's solid, but that is top 5 TE money. He is due a one million bonus next Thursday, so the decision will be made by then.

    This will sound homerish but the offseason so far has been excellent for Seattle. They let some marginal players walk and will get a lot of comp picks next year. They re-signed their key piece Bennett and after the Clemons cut still have like $18 million in cap room left. I'd have like to kept Tate but not a big deal.

    The team is doing what they did last year, let other teams overspend on the first wave and pick up leftovers on the cheap. Already the market is going dry for pass rushers and after a few weeks they will probably sign some good ones for cheap.

    Elway panicked and gave Ware a ridiculous contract. He could have waited and got a similar player for a few million.

    Exactly, right now the broncos are winning the ultimate offseason natty.
    Meanwhile the seahawks, defending champs are picking up a ton of compensatory picks and at the same time not losing any pieces of their core. Plus they'll get the earl Thomas deal done and I still believe they'll get Allen, I have no problem with them losing some depth in fa, they can replenish that through last year and this year's draft class and some garbage pile pickups.
    This is part of keeping a championship team together

    The Schofield deal is unbelievable. The Giants gave him a 2 yr/8 mil deal. The Seahawks pick him up off waivers for the minimum and he plays 144 plays all season, gets 8 tackles and 1 sack, and ends up getting 8 million over 2 years. What the fuck are the Giants doing?

    What a douche move by the giants. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember him ever having any knee issues come up.
