Seahawks in extension talks with Bobby Wagner


Recommended Posts

They are going to trade Wilson for a King's Ransom. Like two first rounders or some poo. Then they'll probably trade Irvin to the Falcons.

There's no such thing as fair trade value for a franchise QB.  I think the media vastly overrates Wilson, but most of the Huddle vastly underrates him.  He isn't an elite QB, but he's better than most.

Early on, it looked like the Chargers really won that trade big that ended up with Eli in NY and Phillip Rivers + a lot in SD, but how does that look now?  The Giants have won two Super Bowls.  It also looked like the Rams won big shipping that #2 pick to the Redskins that became RG3, but neither has done much since, so did anyone really "win"?

If you have a legit starting QB you have to try to keep him.  If you trade him for picks, you better turn one of those picks into a legit starting QB which is a huge roll of the dice.

It doesn't make good business sense for Luke's agent to agree to a new deal before Wagner's agent. Luke's got 2 years left, Wagner's on his last. It would be stupid to let a guy that has never led the league in tackles, didn't win DRoY and has never won DPoY get more money than Luke simply because he's got a ring. And Wagner can't even claim to have a SB MVP. That went to LB Malcolm Smith, not Wagner, despite what a Falcon troll has been saying on this board.

The Rams definitely won that trade are you kidding? That team is stacked with talent all along the defense but hasn't had a quarterback or weapons to take them to the next level.

​Thank you for essentially making my point for me.  You either have a QB or you don't.  You can't "win" a trade without winning on the field.  At the end of the day, all that matters are W's and L's and Super Bowls.

    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
    • Yeah looks good on paper, but the proof is in the pudding
