NFL News OT: Seahawks to send Geno Smith to Raiders

[WhatJustHappened]

i'm wondering why petey doesn't want metcalf. what does he know that we don't ?

Will darnold regress without justin jefferson to throw to?

I think so, Jefferson and Addison are pretty good.
I think he's fools gold, but he did do well with SF... Although they also had massive talent at the time.
He's going to make a bunch of $, I'm just glad it won't be here.

Geno only has 1 year left at $14M. Darnold probably wants at least a 3 year deal, maybe a 5 year deal, because he is only 27 years old and still improving. Geno could be viewed as a bridge QB to a new draft pick. Darnold does not want to be a bridge QB.

Could be - though my gut tells me that Pete will extend Geno

I could see it making some sense… Geno has looked decent with a poor OL, so with a better OL in Vegas it would hopefully be better and it’d give them a relatively competitive team for a few years while they find a young QB to draft and develop.

Mike Florio says the Seahawks traded Geno because he wanted $40m a year. Will be interesting to see if Brady gives him that.
All signs point to Sam Darnold in Seattle

He didn’t play in SF. Only one meaningless game with backups

I wonder if Addison could be a trade candidate.

With pretty much zero training/practice.

You don't trade a 3rd round pick to gamble on a new contract. They have something in place both parties will agree to. It would guess $30 per year with incentives.

Seahawks to send Geno Smith to Raiders

Seattle stunner sends veteran QB to Las Vegas for a third-round pick.

Reported hawks tried to trade him and DK together

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wonder Why.

 

[Uptown]

Would Seattle trade LT Charles Cross?…

 

[Ring 6]

With pretty much zero training/practice.

You said he did well in SF. Thats not accurate. He played one game with backups playing, threw for 189 yards and lost. Otherwise he got in a couple of games in mop up duty

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

It’s equivalent value of a 2nd, which I could see Metcalf going for. If he doesn’t then obviously I’m wrong. Throw in more picks if you want, that wasn’t the point of the exercise anyway

Metkalf is just a linear receiver.. dint even want him

You combine that linear receiver with an inside threat. It dynamically changes the offense. So grab Metcalf with a Godwin or trade also for Jacoby. That is powerful, but that Pats won't do that.

Will darnold regress without justin jefferson to throw to?

Yes. He was shaky as hell with them. His stats look like an All Pro, but the offense wasn’t good unless the defense put them in favorable positions.

He reverted back to normal in the Wild Card game when the defense did poorly. Darnold gets exposed when he consistently starts at the 20-25 yard line and has to lead drives all the way down field.

 

[Steve102]

It's 4 for Metcalf and 18.
I don't think that's enough compensation either, but you're getting the Seahawks first in that scenario that he gave.

I think these guys are right, they need to add more. #82 and #137. That's a good deal.

The asking price for dk will drop dramatically if not outright release

Why would they cut him?

 

[imahobgoblin]

I cannot see them cutting him. His contract is only $15 million. They have $62.

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

I love what DK brings to the playing field. With that being said, I live in Seattle, and Seahawks fans are pretty much done with DK because his on/off field antics. The past two years he’s really turned into a menice and has shown some pre CTE behaviors on several occasions.

So yes, they might just out right cut him. He doesn't want to be there, and has become a problem on the field more often than not. It appears they are doing a full resent. The fan base wouldn’t be a shocked as you think if he was just outright cut.

When it’s all settled and done, I think he could go for as low as a 5th.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

Interesting idea:

- Seahawks trade Geno to the Raiders for a 3rd
- Seahawks trade pick #18 and DK Metcalf to the Pats for pick #4
- Seahawks trade pick #4, their own 2nd rounder, the Raiders 3rd rounder, and their 2026 1st rounder to the Titans for pick #1
- Seahawks draft Cam Ward

I think if I had one of those trade calculators handy this would be way in favor of the Seahawks.

Pats would need Metcalf #18 Seattles third this year and seattles third next year At a minimum
