Seahawks Would Have Considered Drafting Patrick Mahomes

Apr 28, 2017 2:49 PM

The Seattle Seahawks will consider drafting a quarterback with one of their day two picks.

The Seahawks would have considered using their first round pick on Patrick Mahomes if he would have dropped to them late in the first round.

While Russell Wilson is only 28 years old, the Seahawks have been weak at backup quarterback in recent seasons.

Raiders, Seahawks Agree Upon Marshawn Lynch Trade

Apr 27, 2017 11:17 AM

The Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks have agreed upon a trade involving Marshawn Lynch.

The Seahawks will swap their sixth round pick in 2018 for the Raiders' fifth rounder.

The only thing remaining is for Lynch to take a physical with the Raiders.

Lynch sat out the 2016 season after announcing his retirement.

Lynch's deal is for two seasons with a base of $9 million and max of $16.5 million.

Raiders Remain Interested In Acquiring Marshawn Lynch

Apr 22, 2017 4:08 PM

The Oakland Raiders remain interested in acquiring Marshawn Lynch from the Seattle Seahawks.

"At some point you'd like to know and prior to the draft is that point," Reggie McKenzie said Friday during a media conference to preview the draft. "Our door is open and we're not shutting the door until that time, pretty much.

"Never going to say never, but the door is still open."

There's the issue of Lynch's rights still being owned by the Seattle Seahawks and Lynch, should he be acquired by Oakland, agreeing to more of an incentive-based contract since his current deal has him due a salary cap number of $9 million in 2017 and a base salary of $7 million in 2018.

Seahawks Don't Expect To Trade Richard Sherman

Apr 22, 2017 1:37 PM

The Seattle Seahawks will continue to listen to offers for Richard Sherman, but they no longer anticipate moving the cornerback.

"Right now, I don't think the odds (of a trade) are very good," John Schneider told KIRO-AM in Seattle. "But if somebody comes cruising along and something happens, and we do something, it happens."

The Seahawks have been in contact with Sherman about the process.

"We have constant communication with him. I talked to him this evening," Schneider said. "So it's cool. Everything's fine. I just think that the only reason we would do it is to basically create some cap room and try to become a younger football team. But that's just one option."

Raiders, Seahawks Expected To Work Out Marshawn Lynch Trade

Apr 14, 2017 3:46 PM

The Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders are expected to work out a trade involving Marshawn Lynch, but the running back must first re-work his contract.

According to a report, Lynch's agents have permission from the Seahawks to discuss adjusting his deal with the Raiders. Lynch signed a three-year, $31 million contract in 2015, which would pay approximately $9 million in 2017 if he came out of retirement. Oakland would want to lower that number.

Marshawn Lynch Has Started Reinstatement Process

Apr 14, 2017 8:54 AM

Marshawn Lynch has started the reinstatement process with the NFL in hopes of playing for the Oakland Raiders, Ed Werder reports.

Once the running back files his reinstatement papers, his $9 million cap hit would be added to the Seattle Seahawks' ledger. That would likely lead to a quick resolution because the Seahawks don't have the cap space to take Lynch on.

In addition to the Raiders, Lynch has also been linked to the New England Patriots.

Seahawks Have Steep Asking Price For Richard Sherman

Apr 12, 2017 8:37 AM

The Seattle Seahawks are open to trading Richard Sherman, but they have placed a steep asking price on the cornerback.

The Seahawks are looking for a first-round pick and potentially a good player on a cheap contract, according to a report.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday that Seattle is looking for something huge.

"We're talking Darrelle Revis Jets-to-Buccaneers type of deal," Garafolo said. "That's what's going to get this thing done."

Just prior to the 2013 NFL Draft, the Jets traded Revis to Tampa Bay in exchange for the No. 13 overall selection and a conditional 2014 fourth-round pick.
