The Seahawks have released franchise icon Bobby Wagner.

Now he is way more pricey than shobert but also better… idk if we make a play for him it might be at the cost of a second cb…

 

[Wolf44]

In a second he becomes our 3rd best defensive player behind Watt and Cameron.

 

[Ike Kelly]

Hmmm…..that would be a nice find. Thing is, is Wagner scheme compatible right now?

And Mincah

 

[madinsomniac]

We can free up at least 14 million on watts contract and several million more

Hmmm…..that would be a nice find. Thing is, is Wagner scheme compatible right now?

lol well that depends… are we playing Tomlin’s cover 2 hybrid that really just wants 4 safeties or are we playing a real defensive set with an actual ilb or two?

 

[madinsomniac]

Now tgere is a really logical argument that we shouldn’t blow any money on older ufas and just roll it all over into next year… that is ok too

 

[Wolf44]

And Mincah

Mincah has never been an All Pro. Wagner has been one 8 times in 10 years. He is a future HOFer.

Uh…. Wrong. Minkah has been All-pro twice. 2019 - 2020.

Mincah is in his prime. Wagner is not. Still a good player. But not in his prime

 

[Wolf44]

Uh…. Wrong. Minkah has been All-pro twice.

Minkah is a nice player who really doesn't change games. Wagner has taken over games many many times in his career.

 

[madinsomniac]

Fitzpatrick affects every game he is in. Qbs absolutely account for him every play… trying to prove wagner is good should not diminish mincahs value…

 

[Wolf44]

Minkah is not the player Wagner is. Wagner is an all time great.

 

[Litos]

so we got wagners agent joining the forum, nice.

 

[Omar10213245]

Uh…. Wrong. Minkah has been All-pro twice. 2019 - 2020.

Regardless, Wagner is a FAR more accomplished LB than Minkah is as a safety

 

[Omar10213245]

Minkah is not the player Wagner is. Wagner is an all time great.

Agreed. People trying to **** on him to prop up their favorite Steelers players are coach-level numbnutses

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Minkah is not the player Wagner is. Wagner is an all time great.

That statement fails to take into consideration where they both are in their respective careers. It's as if someone told you: "Wagner is not the player Mean Joe is. Mean Joe is a first ballot Hall Of Famer."
Fact is Minkah is ascending and young. Wagner is descending and older. If anyone cut Minkah to make room for Wagner, they'd quickly be called a fool.

 

[madinsomniac]

Regardless, Wagner is a FAR more accomplished LB than Minkah is as a safety

Its hard to make eight all pro teams in four years… lol

 

[MT~Forged]

Regardless, Wagner is a FAR more accomplished LB than Minkah is as a safety

Let’s do the comparisons in a few more years, when Minkah has the same number of years.

 

[slashsteel]

Wagner would be a good addition. I would already be on the phone to his agent.

 

[LeXX75]

Maybe Wagner could learn Bush how to be a true NFL player

 

[Litos]

Also being cut means he won't cost any potential comp pick. There's value everywhere in going for Wagner

THIS

Why do we need a NT when we are in the 2DL set more often than not, it seems (sarcasm)



Salute the nation

 

[TDX27]

We should not be restructuring contracts and pushing money into future years. For the 1st time in probably 20 years, we don't have to. There is absolutely no reason we should do it this year. If you want this guy, cut Tuitt and reduce the salaries of Schobert and Banner or cut them. Save the restructures and knowingly messing up future years cap space until you need to do it and we definitely don't need to do it.

That's why no one can ever borrow your phone.......................... You're always BROKERING !!!!!

Why do you cut an all time great
