The Seattle Times reports the Seahawks are expected to release CB Jeremy Lane.
Lane played 346 highly-ineffective snaps in 2017. He was then arrested for driving under the influence in January. Cutting Lane would create $4.75 million in cap space while leaving behind $2.5 million in dead money. Lane hasn't been the same since his 2015 Super Bowl injury.
NFL.com's Mike Garafolo reports the Seahawks would have to be "blown away" to trade Earl Thomas.
Garafolo confirms that Thomas has been made available, but only for the steepest of prices. It's similar to what the Seahawks did with Richard Sherman last offseason. Most signs have pointed toward Thomas remaining in Seattle for the final year of his contract.
The Seattle Times confirms the Seahawks are expected to release Richard Sherman ahead of the new league year, but that they will be open to re-signing him at a lower price.
That presumably means Sherman has already declined to take a pay cut on his scheduled $11 million salary. We doubt Sherman will be terribly interested in re-signing with the team that cut him. Sherman will be eligible to sign the second he's released but it's possible he will take his time as he recovers from Achilles' operations to both feet.
Thomas zu behalten macht wohl viel Sinn. Da müsste schon ein richtig guter Pick rausspringen, oder ne handvoll, wenn man den abgeben sollte. ich zerpflücke jetzt nicht die ganze Offseason, denn das mangement hat ja in den letzten Jahren durchaus gezeigt, dass es in der Lage ist gute Entscheidungen zu treffen. Jeremy Lane scheint wohl deutlich überm zenit zu sein und deswegen auch gecutted worden.
Ich bin sehr gespannt was man RW nächste Saison an die Hand geben will. Hoffentlich zunächst mal eine gescheite O-Line.
