Seattle going to a SB after moving DK is not a good look

Anyone familiar with DK knew he was a head case. He was hustling an established head case.

We traded for a less talented WR with a big contract instead if gambling on a rookie contract who was also a head case.

If Pickens was suspended for 2 games for punching a fan the city would’ve burned his house down.

 

Our 21 year old Son is a BIG seachicken fan, has been since childhood

Sp I've seen DK for years now he was as you saw this year, except Seattle didn't force ball to him as much as Steelers did last year as they typically had a much deeper wr room

JSN is the man there n has been

Our Son was NOT unhappy to see him.moved

 

2026 All Pro WR George Pickens says WHAT!!!


Here we go again with you and the George Pickens Crap. Right now, George Pickens is one of the best WRs in football, so how can you say that Colbert made a mistake in drafting Pickens?

 

If Pickens is one of the best Wrs in the NFL, so is DK. Don't just look at one year. They are about even, except one will block, and one won't. Pickens averages a little more yards, but DK averages more tds.

 

A second round draft choice that you have to get rid of before his contract runs out is a bust

They could have gotten a good long term player

 

The BIG difference is 24 year old George Pickens is only getting better, just about to hit his prime. 28 year old DK is beginning his decline.

Right now I would take a 24 year old George Pickens over DK any day. In 2025 George had 1,429 yards, his best year in the NFL. While in 2025 DK only had 850 yards, his worst year in the NFL.

Who do you think will be better in 2026? For me I believe, George Pickens will be this generations Randy Moss: Love him or hate him, he is the best of the best!

 

I try to leave the FO decisions out of whether or not a player is a bust. I only look at what goes onto the field. Not every draft pick that is a good player that we don't sign long term is a bust. He was a highly productive player and still is.

 

Replacing Geno was their biggest move.

 

that isn’t the definition of a bust. Especially when our whole coaching staff was removed at the end of the season. If anything, our coaching on offense was a bust.

 

He used Moss and Pickens in the same sentence

 

It may not be the definition but it is an excellent example of a bust pick

Coaching was not the problem GP was the problem

But this has been hashed enough

 

Like I said if You go by one year, which DK was suspended for two game, but if You go by their full career they are practically the same in everything, except one actually blocks, and one doesn't. You can argue this all You want, but the numbers are the numbers., and to guess what someone will do next year is just that, a guess.

 

Good point. Having a good HC, good OC and DC made a huge difference. and they rolled the dice with the young guys and it worked.

 

Most felt Pickens would have a good year but he will self destruct at some point and take some with him.

 

DK is a monster. Steelers didn't/couldn't take advantage of it throughout the season. Why? Two reasons: Poor scheme and lack of weapons ie WRs. (they already hit on a first rounder! -- Jonnu Smith gone)

Steelers were throwing jump balls to a 5'8" 160 pounder.


What an optimistic year it could be if they trade for a solid (tall) WR and draft a stud to keep the defense honest. With McCarthy bringing Campen that means Broderick is staying. He's got way too much potential that has been wasted. I loved what Cook was doing but that's BJ's spot. Excited to see what the new coaching brings to the offensive side. It's been exactly the same for years and years. I swear the only change last year was the Jet Sweep was all but eliminated.


I'd rather watch a 6 - 11 team that has potential than the same drivel we've witnessed the past 6 plus years.

 

DK is not a monster where it matters. He's a physical speciman but has the seperation ability of an average reciever and hands like Kwame Brown. And a brain of an empty brown bag. 3rd reciever on a normal day. 2 reciever on a good day. He's never been a real 1 and he's more of a liability than an asset.

 

Raiders are getting Kubiak.... Seahawks OC for HC. He was the closest thing to Ben Johnson in this cycle. Missed the boat again.

 

Kubiak knows he will have a legit QB with the Raiders with the Steelers not so much .

 

Well, at least our look with DK isn't as bad as the Vikings' look with Darnold! They had a super bowl caliber QB on their team, and let him go.

 

The DK part of this isn't the reason.

Darnold was good for them.

And JSN is amazing.

If we hadn't been so bad at drafting WRs since Ben got hurt, we could have had our own internal guy instead of having to go get DK.

Were we ever really good at drafting WRs? I think it was mostly just Ben (and hitting on Mr. Big Chest).

 

DK being overpaid (because of league cash spending rules + poor drafting on our part) isn't the same thing as "Seahawks going to the SB because they got rid of DK".

I don't think we need click bait titles on message boards. Let's leave that stuff to the CNNs of the world.

 

I think this is a "why not both" type situation (your first option).

Try to sign a real WR2 type guy (not the old WR3/4 guys we've been signing).

Then use a 1st or 2nd on a WR. Maybe one of the late round picks too.

That should give us 3 NFL WRs. A huge step up from the 1 we've had in the last 2 seasons.

The unfortunate thing is that even a good WR2 is going to be expansive in UFA.

So maybe we keep Austin. Although I would prefer not to. I think he's a good WR4 and probably an average WR3. But after playing him at WR2, his price for coming back to the same team is probably too high.

Wilson seems to be close to a complete miss. Maybe he comes on after another offseason. But I think it's fair to say we can't count on him for anything. Especially if they bring Rodgers back.

 

They will have around 50 million to spend in free agency they will have enough money to sign a free agent WR if they want to.

 

It will be interesting to see how they spend the money.

In the Terrible Podcast livestream yesterday, they listed the current UFA WRs. Not a great list.

Here's the list that spotrac has.

But there may be other useful guys who end up getting cut for cap reasons.

In theory, I really like the idea of bringing in a solid WR2 through UFA. Especially if the plan is to bring Rodgers back (who traditionally doesn't play all that well with rookie / young WRs).

Seems like Doubs was the name they liked most on the podcast. But (1) Rodgers played with him before and (2) Dave loved him going into the draft (although he didn't mention this in this episode).
