EPS 55 Podcast: Seahawks Go Bargain Hunting

Hello listeners and welcome into the Hawks Playbook Podcast. Thanks for joining Keith Myers and myself as we discuss all the off-season comings and goings.

Other big name unrestricted free agents also left the team in the last week including, Jimmy Graham, Paul Richardson and Sheldon Richardson.

EPS 54 Podcast: Seattle Moves on from Key Players

Hello and welcome back to the Hawks Playbook Podcast. Your Host’s Bill Alvstad and Keith Myers have a wide-ranging conversation about key player losses and what it means for the franchise moving forward.

We both agree the team is likely to move on from Sheldon Richardson, Jimmy Graham and now Paul Richardson, and by not signing reciprocal dollar amount contracts back to the team, should receive three compensatory draft picks in 2019. The team can expect two 3rd round picks for S. Richardson and Graham and a 4th round pick for P. Richardson.

We can expect to sign players on value contracts that you’ve never heard of in incrementally improve the defense. But don’t expect the Seahawks to be big players. This year is all about consolidating the roster and trying to get younger via the draft, while looking a little bit forward to the 2019 season where the team will have more cap flexibility and a load of newly acquired comp picks to add to the youth movement the team needs to take to get better, and hopefully make a return to the Super Bowl.
