I'd prefer a 1st and 2nd round pick this year, a 1st next year, and a 2nd the third year.

There is that plus Wilson tanked after he left Seattle.

Seahawks QB Coach Dave Canales Requested for Interview in AFC North The Seattle Seahawks could now find themselves in danger of losing one of their longest-tenured coaches. Zach Dimmitt Jan 21, 2023 4:16 PM EST The Baltimore Ravens have requested to interview with Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales for their vacant at offensive coordinator, per reports Saturday from ESPN. The Ravens parted way with offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Thursday. Canales, who has been an assistant with the Seahawks since 2010, was a major reason for the success that quarterback Geno Smith had during his Pro Bowl campaign this season. While Smith surprised the league due to his own personal late-career growth, his performance is now unofficially helping Canales earn more recognition from around the league. Landing the offensive coordinator job in Baltimore is far from set in stone, but Canales' potential departure would end what has been a long-standing career for him in Seattle with coach Pete Carroll. After beginning as a strength coach at USC alongside Carroll, Canales followed the would-be legendary Seahawks to Seattle in 2010. He served as the team's receivers coach from 2010-17 before focusing on quarterbacks and the passing game. Canales could find himself with a Ravens team that has some uncertainty surrounding the future of star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

No to a guaranteed contract or the franchise tag (unless they intend to quickly tag and trade). Whatever happens they have to have this tied up before the draft. Preferably, before even March 7. A trade to Indy looks like a good fit picks wise.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Yep...that's another thing I don't like about tagging him: the fact that he can hold-in until the season starts. If we can't sign him by the 5 week deadline, I'd trade him for sure. What teams are out there that might be a fit for us trading him for picks? BTW, Baker Mayfield is a FA and if we could sign him for 'right price' might make a good bridge to a new rookie QB. Thoughts?

I thought the league had a policy of no fires/no hires in the week before the SB. Quite possibly I'm wrong but didn't it exist at one time?

Yep...I have a real dislike for Cincy and their overinflated egos. But I'll watch the SB. Should be an entertaining game if KC gets some receivers back.

Yep. That's important too. I like what I've seen from Monkton but there's so many candidates and teams in the hunt I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.

I agree a bit fat NO to Richardson. I wonder if the Colts would be interested in a Lamar trade if it comes to that. A lot of the other picks were interesting though I really want to see us go receiver as much as possible instead of a cornerback for the first round. Peters has frequently looked out of control on the sidelines. We're lucky he didn't draw some penalties and that Harbs was patient with him.

He would be great but what if nobody competent wants to come here because of the uncertainty at QB1?

They're not going to drop JK or Bowser unless they know Bowser spread the leaflets across the floor and we don't have any idea who did it. I have seen many times over the past few years where Marcus Peters was in Harbaugh's face on the sideline and not only was he still with the team last season, he got an extension a couple of years before that. Plus Harbaugh's not the only vote that counts. We do have a GM and an owner.

They won't draft a RB in the 1st round and I think they would agree with you and me on the reasoning.

Now there's a scary thought!

Or, they could bring Cam Cameron or Matt Cavanaugh.

I really hope they don't pick someone internal.

Yeah, I'd say OC but have no idea who.

Maybe this link will give us some more ideas: https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/rumor-mill-ravens-offensive-coordinator-search

I can't see Bieniemy coming here either unless he gets a leg up when Harbs leaves. But as you said before why do that when Andy Reid could be retiring near the same time. Not thrilled with Leftwich either. As for Martin and Urban I agree...why pick up Roman's assistants? Frank Reich, meh...maybe. I pretty flummoxed about it right now.

But who's to say he'll be 100% cutting with speed and it's not like he was all that great to begin with. I think we need a step up from him. He's at best an average player. With Bateman coming back from a Lisfranc, which normally take a couple seasons to get back to normal, we need more from our WRs. And I'm not talking breaking the bank to do it.

He's got a broken bone in his foot.

We have potentially one good wide receiver in Bateman who has screws in his ankle now and nobody else. BTW, I believe Marquise Brown was out for several games this season with an injury.

Rashod Bateman's coming back from a Lisfranc injury. I've never seen a WR come back from that and have a good year his first year back. Duvernay has a broken foot to come back from and again it make take two seasons before his really healthy. Yes we had some replacements this year but mostly they came off the street or belong there. We only have 5 draft picks and no number 2. So who is available that we could afford in free agency? I am disturbed over our WR availability. Hell, maybe we could contract out to the Steelers and let them pick for us. They always seem to have depth at WR and it's always come via the draft. I wonder how the hell they do it.

I could see him with the type of deal Eric had as GM in waiting with Ozzie.

Ya know, this must not be easy for Lamar either. He gambled his value on having a super season and it didn't pan out that way. Maybe he's feeling let down by both himself and the front office. I don't know and I don't want to speculate but he may have ambivalent feelings about the organization at the moment and hence the cryptic tweets. But I've come to the conclusion that I want to see this process pan out through March 7. If they can't strike a deal in 2 months then I'll lean more to the tag and trade process. But I'm going to give the negotiations some time here to see it play out. Meanwhile what good OC candidates are there? We can speculate about who we'd want. I think Harbs has a couple years left on his contract. Maybe Eric Bieniemy the KC OC would come here with the understanding he'd be in the running for HC here when Harbaugh retires.
