John Schneider is on one, man.
The GM of the Seattle Seahawks has spent the weekend alternating between signing defensive gamers to three-year extensions and eradicating the ultimate three family names from the offensive aspect of the ball. Jaxon Smith-Njigba now stands largely alone.
He’s claimed to be working in the very best curiosity of your entire group, from high to backside. From Jody Allen, all the way in which to you, the devoted followers.
Which begs the query: Is that this the kind of rebuild the followers really wished?
Particularly in the event that they go and do that:
#Seahawks GM John Schneider mentioned this: “The thing to understand here is: Our responsibility to (team chair) Jody Allen, to the 12s, first and foremost is doing what’s absolutely best for the organization.”
Then he did this:
And subsequent: Aaron Rodgers? https://t.co/pDVPR8oh66

An affordable individual may defend that Geno Smith was a top-12 quarterback within the NFL and the Seahawks had been one yard in need of making the playoffs in 2024.
Ryan Grubb’s (and the offensive line’s) specialty (failing to transform on the bottom on each third and 4th-and-1) saved Seattle from successful the primary sport, and in the end the division over the Los Angeles Rams.
Now, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and Geno Smith have been jettisoned whereas they re-signed Jarran Reed and Ernest Jones.
Protection good, offense dangerous?
However moreover, is he really going to run the protection again and seize Aaron Rodgers?
The NFL is a enterprise, I get it. Cash makes many of the choices, and contract extensions had been at odds with Metcalf and Smith, choices had been made, life goes on. There’s additionally a lot that may very well be mentioned in regards to the philosophy of team-building, of evaluations concerning draft picks, third contracts, and the like.
However a really actual factor simply occurred: the Seahawks turned fairly anonymous, on offense not less than. Tons of of hours of star energy and enjoyable reminiscences simply walked out the door, for a group that was far nearer to creating the playoffs than getting a top-5 decide. That is going to be a tangibly totally different group to look at subsequent season. It is going to be bizarre.
After which there’s the three instructions they might take at quarterback. Is Seattle tanking for subsequent yr? Are they signing somebody they hope can breakout like Smith or Sam Darnold? Or is that this Aaron Rodgers factor actual, considering he retains the group in rivalry proper now?
So, Schneider’s performing within the “best” curiosity of the group, together with the followers.
Is that this group one you’re excited to look at subsequent season? With Aaron Rodgers on the controls?
