I think this is the silver lining to the Nwoso season ending injury. I’m fairly certain that the Seahawks wouldnt have picked up Frank Clark if Uchenna wasn’t out for the season. They may have been planning on making this move for Williams, even before Nwoso’s injury — and they hadn’t lost their best defensive lineman, but that loss undoubtedly clinched the decision to make the trade. And Frank Clark and Leonard Williams are both reportedly great locker room guys and their experience and leadership is going to add considerable value to Seattle’s front seven. They have finally completed the offseason goal of completely revamping their front seven of the defense and they are going to be significantly better for it. The addition of Clark and Williams to Jarran Reed and Dreimont Jones are light years ahead of what they had up front last year. Clark and Williams are both guys who improve the play of the guys around them. My prediction is that they will end the season with the second best defense against the run in the NFC, and with their athletic and aggressive young secondary, they will become one of the top defenses in the entire NFL.
Chillllllz 🥶 Schneiz did it again
American Chocolate is absolutely trash
I’m an American, and British chocolate bars are vastly superior. Because we don’t have them, we’re ok with our inferior chocolate. But I would always choose British chocolate over American and Swiss!
British people will always get passionate mad about things not from the UK. They get mad about curry in India because it is not a 'proper' curry.
Anyway, settle down. It will be ok

I think this is a classic calculated gamble. They see the sliver of an opening in the NFL – no truly elite teams. So they think – we have to at least give ourselves a shot at this, its a unique year. If he walks at season end, well you laid it on the line for not a tonne of sacrifice. If he stays, you've then got a solid to good piece on one of the most important positions in football and in two, three years time he might be a key piece in a team thats ready to contend.
I get that, but the problem is in the short term you need a quarterback in the next draft. Even if you think Geno is your man, the price you're gonna have to pay for him means losing at least one or two other key guys like Lewis or Brooks whose level will be hard to replace. And I do wonder if you haven't made it much harder to draft the QB you want. I guess on this point, probably Adams is the big key, because he's the guy you're paying a tonne who's not really justifying that payment with production.
But even if they let Adams go, and keep their guys, there's still the issue of quarterback. Geno is good but can you win a superbowl with him? In the NFL it's so heavily weighted to quarterback that you basically should hedge on drafting the next superstar, and for that you need maximum draft capital. Hence, I don't like this move.
Commercial Chocolate in America is crap, but there are really good specialty chocolates made of 100% pure Cocoa. Hersey's hardly has any real chocolate in it.
Interesting tidbit. Albert Breer said Seahawks were looking to trade away Darrel Taylor before Nwosu got injured
Sweat went to Bears 🐻 and Young went to the 49ers 🙄

Always compete.
Great discussion. One correction is that someone said that Seattle wasn't going "full rams" at this deadline, but that's not really true. The Rams trade for Von Miller was strikingly similar to Seattle's for Williams. They dealt a 2nd and a 3rd compared to Seattle sending a 2nd and a 5th, both players were UFA after the season and both were paid less than $1 million in salary by the buying team that season. The other big move the Rams made, OBJ, happened after the deadline and was a street FA signing that didn't cost them any picks and only cost $4 mil in salary.
