I'm not sure I agree that they are fully caving to Wilson. But I absolutely agree that they are trying to make him happy. It would not surprise me in the least to learn that Russ lobbied for a Lockett extension. While teams may like rookie friendly contracts for cap purposes, QB's like a little continuity. He and Lockett know each other very well, and work well together. Lockett and DK also compliment each other.Patsfan86 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:31 amThey are making Russ a happy man is what they are doing. I think this Wilson trade talk can end now. Russ would have been mad if they let Lockett walk. They also gave him a weapon in Everett. They are fully caving to Wilson. This offense is going to be fun.ravn88 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:16 am Tyler Lockett getting a 4 year 69 mil deal.
I not sure I get what they are doing in Seattle.
When Wilson can make Dissly, a viable receiving TE, and Metcalf an instant top WR, why do you pay RB and WR.
Spend the money on Defense and OL and draft RBs and WRs once their Rookie deals expires.
Maybe take a flyers on cheap RBs and Wrs.
I also like the Everett signing, as he knows the offensive scheme Seattle will employ in 2021 coming from the Rams. His addition is so much better than the failed Jimmy Graham/Greg Olsen experiments.
Gabe Jackson is a nice addition to the O-line, and I imagine they're not quite done there yet. Overall, I like the direction the team has taken this offseason so far. I'm curious to see what they do with the draft, and if there are any July/August cuts that pique their interest.
