Lol yep because that's exactly what happened in the Eagles and Rams games right? 

You're telling me if we trade Andy for Bennett and drafted Wynn and Smith with our first two picks, we'd be worst than when we started Garland and Wes? Yea ok...

I wouldn't do that Levitre is an under rated part of our oline he was a huge loss in th playoff push.

I’d be fine with that, actually. 

C'mon Mate we need the mentioned man.To build a cohesive unit changing out new pieces every other year isn't a good thing mate.Having 2 new guy's this year would hurt us alot

Ok. You’re assuming a guy that regularly plays 16 games, has 3 straight pro bowls and insanely takes care of his body is declining. If we only got 2 years and a SB I’m still on this trade.

your trade idea is better, but I’d cut through the bidding war and get my guy.

teco is a system back. He’s not zeke 

Teco is a comp draft asset - don’t forget this.

Honestly, if we plan on not signing him, I'd rather try to trade him. Get the "comp" pick earlier and probably end up getting more compensation. RBs just dont get enough cash to generate comp picks above the 5th/6th/7th. 

I bet if we traded him (which I'm not advocating) we could get something like a 4 and a 6.

I was wondering that. He’s not getting a huge 40m+ contract most likely. 

Good backs in draft to replace, if we’re not extending him

As Eagles/Rams games showed, we really missed Levitre. No way do I trade him and replace with another rookie. Another FA vet maybe, but not a rookie.

And Bennett replaces Clay, but we still have major work to do at shoring up DT, especially in replacing Dontari Poe’s good work. 

 

We literally replaced Andy with a DT/OG hybrid. I don't think that's an accurate judge of what the OL would look like without Andy. 

If we got Bennett for Andy and went OG with the first two picks, you can still take a Nnadi, Jones, Shepherd type to play the 1T. It's just a scenario but it wouldn't be the end of the world.

OK, let's go over this again.  

1.  The Seahawks want to shed Bennett's salary.

2.  Bennettt is said to want a trade.

3.  Bennett, by simply saying a few words to would-be new employers, can strongly influence where he will be traded to.  

4.  Quinn and Bennett get along very well. 

5.  Bennett will be 33 by the time next season rolls around.

 

There is no way we should give up more than a 6th rounder for Michael Bennett.  His age alone drops his trade value.  In my opinion, the Falcons can add MB to the roster by just sticking to the 6th round offer.

I still feel it's a safer move to hold onto Andy given he is a proven LG for us. He has never been that obvious weakness holding us back.

So, while I agree with that scenario being possible it just seems more likely to bring his cap number down some on a restructure and get future LG/competition for RG to groom for 2 years. It'd be like Wes being asked to start this coming year instead; especially for the conversion to OG types.

Then again, there's nothing like having to matchup to a Cox, Donald, Wilkerson, McCoy etc. so a learning curve as a starter exists. I just don't know how to project our inteiror OL moving forward without the coaches belief in Wes 100% or not. OT seems okay. Depends on if Ty stays onboard after this year.

I have proposed the signing of Chris Hubbard, but we all know that we will re-sign Levitre.  He fits into our blocking scheme and he will come at a cheaper price than some other FA's.  Levitre is good and, as long as he is healthy, should do well for us for at least two more seasons.  

Wes is a whole other matter.  He played poorly and we need better.  He may, some day, improve enough to start for us, but we need help now.

teco is a system back. He’s not zeke 

im surprised you said zeke and not freeman. But i dont agree that he is a system back, his specialty is one cut, remember that. So do you think Freeman is a system back too ?

don't agree.   At best, you probably get a 3rd round pick for Teco now and more realistically a 4th rounder - if you keep him, you get another year of production for a SB run, insurance against Freeman getting hurt - AND - you still get a 5th rounder next year

so the choice would then be:

get 4th rounder NOW for Teco

OR

get a 5th rounder NEXT YEAR for Teco and you get another year of production

 

I like the 2nd option better.

Like I said, I dont want to get him out the door. I meant more "at the trade deadline" or something like that. Pick up a "real" 3rd/4th round pick rather than a comp pick and still get half a year of production.

Yup both are. Freeman has a ton more balance and vision than teco though. I like teco and I’m not the one that suggested trading him btw. But, if you can’t afford him, i could see the logic of moving him for Bennett.

If Tevin had better balance/overall footwork; slight patience and less panic he'd probably be out of our price range. That's why it is possible he stays. Just depends on if he wants starter money or not. A decent amount guaranteed or bonus up front but overall low-ish cap hit compared to Freeman 'might' make it okay. Depends on where the cap goes to next year and our status then. Would he take $4mil on average per year? Is that too much, just as an example.:shrug:
