batman10023 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If there was a way to do it - i'd give Seattle their third round pick back if they traded wilson (to another team not to us). has this ever been done before? it would be incentive for Seattle to trade the pick as we know it will hurt their draft position. 2 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ElBarrioJets Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm trying to wrap my head around how stupid this is. So you're saying the Jets should give back Seattle's 3rd rounder as an incentive for Seattle to trade Wilson to another team? Why on earth would the Jets do that? 7 1 2 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His theory is that by trading the 3rd and wilson being traded that our seattle 1st next year will be much better. It's a cray cray non realisitic theory but I think that is his theory. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like give up the third for nothing in exchange? I’d say Seattle would have to return something. Even just a conditional 7th. But I wouldn’t do it. Let the other team offer whatever it takes. If that team can offer two 1sts, then an extra 3rd is almost irrelevant, comparatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBen Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I see the angle you're coming from but the nfl is way too much of a crapshoot to guarantee a better draft pick. It would be logical that the seahawks would be much worse off without wilson, but it should absolutely not be at our expense period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I get the point. You want Wilson off Seattle to improve our chances of having a higher 1st round pick next year. But it's a terrible idea lol. You don't give up 3rd round picks for nothing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WE don't get anything back from Seattle, it's being given up for nothing. A 3rd round pick should be able to get you a starting caliber player if you scout correctly. Giving it up to Seattle to get them to trade their QB to another team would be embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman10023 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 i didn't think my idea was that far fetched. So what if there was a 3 way trade with Seattle/Bears and Us. We give up Seattle's 3rd this year to Seattle and our 2nd this year to the bears. We get a hot franchise tagged WR from the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman10023 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 more likely scenario would be we trade Seattle's next year first to Bears for ARobinson. The bears use that pick and others to land wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB1 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Here is a better way of posing this question. Would you give Seattle their 3rd back if it guaranteed Wilson being traded away? I would 100% do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
