Corbett / Samac / Christensen Smelling like our 2026 roster at center. If we stay healthy, that should be serviceable.

Here’s the contract Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks: With little guaranteed money beyond 2025 and a team-friendly bonus structure, the Seahawks have a franchise QB and can afford to surround him with talent. This should be the basis for discussions with Bryce if we decide to extend him beyond the 5th year option. Bryce hasn’t approached a season like Darnold has put up in his last two. I still want Bryce to be our QB of the future, but $30mil should be the drop zone. If the Seahawks can get Darnold and go to the Super Bowl for $33.5mil, then Dan & Co can use that as leverage when the time comes.

The line between being average and good in the NFL is very thin. A lot changes every offseason. In no way are we three offseasons away from being good if we continue this year’s rate of improvement.

Please explain how we made the playoffs with a “very bad roster” that is at least three offseasons away from being good.

I will be watching what Green Bay does with their WR room. Doubs is set to become a free agent. I doubt they bring him back, but if they do, that’s a crowded WR room with Watson, Doubs, Golden, Reed, Wicks, and S Williams. I’d really love Jayden Reed if he became available in the last year of his rookie contract.

Seems a good opportunity to tell others not to give up on J Brooks just yet due to injury history.

Yes, and that’s why Evans is still on the roster and not the practice squad. J Mitchell looks more game ready as of now.

James Mitchell looked better than Evans to me.

Great throw. Also a great catch.

Need at least 3 RBs. Hubbard/Brooks/Etienne has a lot of potential. Dowdle will be gone. He’ll either play well and price himself out of our range or not and we wouldn’t want to resign.

Good question. He looked good in the extremely limited looks he’s had in a Panthers uniform. My hope is he becomes a knockoff J Gibbs in relief of Hubbard. My realistic thought is he’ll be a threat in the passing game over the next two years and then, if he is an asset, take a reasonable deal on a second contract due to his limited play and extensive injury history.

You put the disclaimer, “as of right now”, in there for a reason.

I’m so shocked that you could watch a RB look like Barry Sanders in a Panthers jersey and call them a wasted pick. Shocked, I tell ya.

He was consensus RB1. We were able to draft him in the mid 2nd bc of his injury. Without it, we would have never had the chance in that spot. Call it whatever you like.

Not yet. He still has two years on his rookie contract, and I’ve yet to see him play. Why jump to a conclusion when he could show up next year looking like J Gibbs lite? Unless you’re just predisposed to jumping to negative conclusions.
