Siemian is not an NFL starter. He's proven that. And the new Hill contract does open up cap money. That's part of the reason for doing it.

Exactly. And he has to keep the starting job year after year to get that big chunk of money. So even if he gets the job and losses it mid season or after 1 season, he won't be paid all that money. He has to be the starter.

I’m honestly tired of being in cap hell. Idk how this helps? I love having Hill around but that’s a lot of money for 100 yards this year. With him making 11 mil what is he going to pay for Winston? What makes me even more angry is SP is making me want Winston back

So does this mean he is the starting QB Thursday? I mean we can't start Trevor again can we?

We can, but I hope the hell not.

Does anyone think this is a commitment to Taysom as the starter in 2022, and SP sliding over to the Dark side and retooling the offense for the RPO?

When Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson went public with his desire to have a voice in personnel decisions and his frustration with getting hit too much earlier this month, word was that the Seahawks were unhappy about it and that led some to wonder if it was the first step toward a departure from the team.

Wilson said the question of whether he’s available in a trade is for the Seahawks to answer and teams have reportedly been asking. Michael Silver of NFL Media reports that one-third of the league has called the team about the possibility of a Wilson trade.

Silver adds that those teams have come away with the belief that the starting point for any serious conversations would be three first-round picks. That’s a bit different than word earlier this month that there was no chance that the team would trade Wilson, although it’s unclear if anyone has conveyed a willingness to move that number of assets to Seattle in a trade.

Trading Wilson would require the Seahawks to take $39 million of dead money onto their cap, although waiting to process a trade until after June 1 would allow them to push $26 million of it into the 2022 season. Silver also reported that the Seahawks got Wilson’s message and that there is an opportunity to alleviate his concerns before any trade would be on the table.

That was from this past February. With one more year down the road and coming off a very disappointing season the asking price could easily be even lower.
