    Supposedly we traded (don’t know whom or what) for CB Witherspoon. Don’t know anything about him.

    Was signed to be a starter for Seattle, but lost the competition to a strong outing by Flowers:

    "Witherspoon isn't expected to be a starter in the season opener against the Colts, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Tre Flowers is on track to start at right cornerback while D.J. Reed secured the job at left cornerback. Witherspoon was expected to win the starting job after signing for $4 million guaranteed in March, but Flowers' strong training camp pushed Witherspoon out of a job. However, Flowers lost that job twice in 2020, so Witherspoon could eventually get another chance."

    Apparently KC was able to get them to pay bigger majority of this seasons pay too. Dude knows how to pull a walk off

    According to the Depot, this move will cancel out the 5th round compensatory pick the Steelers would have received for Matt Feiler.

    No word on what the Steelers traded away.

    Good to know, they sent a 2023 fifth to the Seahawks as well so it’s two fifth round picks essentially for a one year rental.

    Hopefully he fits in and contributes

    Why would it cancel out a comp pick? He was not a FA pick up. He was traded for.

    Also...I like the move.

    Good depth. You never know will Haden's health, or how Pierre or Sutton are going to react to being every down NFL players.

    This is a guy with some experience for sure.

    Why would making a trade for someone now cancel a compensatory pick? They're based on free agent signings, not trades.

    No but he is singularly focused. Not on football but making sure his new head coach can continue his reclamation project on a QB who intrigued him.

    This explains the loss of compensatory pick, I knew some rules had changed around them

    Witherspoon signed with Seattle as a free agent just in March and has already been traded, idk if that's a good sign.

    I just want to know if he picks one off, can he be the first one to the opposite end zone for the photo op?

    Hack, think that blurb was poorly worded. Nothing is canceled, you have been able to trade comp picks for several years now, and it appears that’s what they did.

    He may be fast enough to do that.

    Not entirely lost via the 5th round pick everyone.






    Still some possibility there.
