Sorry, Mr. Wizard, I misspoke... I meant "he said, she said." It's completely unsubstantiated claims, with no reliable means to meet the standard of proof beyond the claimants' words, unless further evidence comes out.

I'm glad we didn't. He is overrated. Great in-line blocker at this point, but very underwhelming as a receiving threat.

Watson was obviously the #1 option in my mind, and the most exciting... but, according to Verge, and what common sense would dictate, that is out the window unless it comes to a swift resolution in revealing his innocence before the draft. I dont anticipate it will, and thus, I agree in moving on, and ultimately, although I was all in on Watson, the optimistic side of me is thankful we won't have to give up 3 or 4 first rounders plus possible young stars for our guy. For me, it's Lance or Fields. Period. If we have to move up, we have to move up - and I think we will have to move up.

Dammit. If the allegations are true, he needs to be prosecuted and punished to the fullest. If they are false, the accusers needs to be prosecuted and punished to the fullest, as well. And if they are false (which is what I'm leaning towards), no one can convince me that McNair wasn't behind this to keep Watson in Houston. The McNairs, by all accounts I have heard, are fairly despicable people... and honestly, most billionaires didn't get to where they are by playing nice. I know it isn't a popular opinion or take in this day and age, but it's just convenient timing and way too many questions (and anonymity) for me to believe these accusations at face value. If more compelling evidence is presented, I look forward to it, but to me, there is way too much grey area here so far and nothing but hearsay.

I've mostly just followed the bullet points and twitter statements to this point, but I will say Buzbee's "my mother was a bus driver, dad was a blah blah blah, I'm a Marine," crap kind of didn't sit well with me. It's like you telling your wife all of the things that make you a good husband before telling her you just smashed a stripper.

I know I said I'd like this better 2-3 years ago, but on the optimistic side, he does very much fit the profile of the Seahawks LOB corner. Reminds me a bit of Browner before he signed with the Saints and became horrible

GO GET HIM!!! Dude is a baller and super physical for his size. Love his game. Make it happen, Fitt!

Yeah, if he could be had for a 7th and we could offload Teddy elsewhere, you do that immediately... it is a great insurance plan in case Watson doesn't materialize.

Eww... would've been interested 2 or 3 years ago. This dude would've been available in August.

Man, that sucks... really wanted him back and feel like he's just coming into his own, but once we didn't extend him going into last season, this was pretty much a certainty. That being said, it's not a ton of money, and I feel like we could've managed to sign him to something similar, and if I was a young receiver looking for a bigger role, why would I sign with a team that doesn't even have a QB in place under a coach that wasted my talent previously with his archaic offensive philosophy? Weird. I guess he really likes Ron.

When 8 of your 11 losses were directly a result of your failures at QB, then yes, you are one player away.

No, but seriously, what are we waiting on? Wouldn't they want to do it before the draft?

I've wanted us to go after him for 2 or 3 years now, as he would be the perfect remedy for a lot of our woes... but, problem is, the rumors about us being interested in him have been out there, much like Drummond, for the aforementioned last 2 to 3 years, and yet, here we are. I'll believe it when I see it.

Seems like one guy "reports" or floats something into the ether and then 3 to 4 more people regurgitate it on Twitter and voila! It becomes gospel. I mean, it could turn out to be true, but two months ago, we were his preferred destination. I think there's a lot of posturing and leveraging going on and we're in it until we aren't... and if we aren't, I'll still be excited to take a young QB with our top pick and move on from Teddy, period.

Wtf???? They were like 858M over the cap, and we actually had room and made no attempt to sign him?

He WAS a good young player, but haven't seen him much since the injuries... And the ACLs wouldn't bother me, but the achilles definitely does.

I wouldn't either, but the timing of it made it seem urgent.

Well, I thought the timing of the Kerr release surely meant we were on the verge of another deal that required that space... I guess not.

Thanks, Verge!

Any word about Samuel?

Fit must not have been a fan, because he balled out last year and was on a cheap deal, so this move makes zero sense... So, this seems pretty stupid. Now, if it means we got Curtis back, then I will reverse course immediately.

Any word on Samuel?

Has he primarily played LT so far?
