Dunlap returning to Seahawks, but Reed to exit

The Seahawks are expected to either trade or release starting DT Jarran Reed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, DE Carlos Dunlap re-signed with the team on a two-year deal, his agent said.

Thoughts?

Jarran Reed is a good ball player, but he wants a new contract and that's why things broke down in Seattle. I think you would have to sign him to a multi-year and it looks like the Bears want to start moving some of the money they have on defense to the other side of the ball.

I never really considered this until now. they hired an offensive minded head coach, right? the offense has been barely patchwork. maybe there's a rhyme and a reason to all of this. lol

Wait! The Bears have an offensive minded head coach?

I’m not sure Hicks is a lock by any means to make this team. How else are you going to clear cap space for Wilson?

I know... I mean... that's what he was billed as being, at least. fucking rebuilt Adam Gase if you ask me.

Very true......

Listen, I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been saying it since November, Hicks fell off a cliff. Goldman isn’t going to help him.

I love Hicks but age is his worst enemy right now.

When Hicks is in the game, he simply makes the defense better, if Eddie can spell him during the game without much drop off, then the Bears defense can be better this year.

Is he worth the $12M?

Goldman and Hicks play different positions.

I would rather extend Nichols for far less and draft a replacement for hicks

Reed is more of a one gap player, disruptive. But he really doesn't do what Hicks does, which is bully guys and dominate the LOS. I tend to prefer one gappers who penetrate and cause havoc, but with Nichols, who is mostly that kind of guy (he's gotten better at two gap, no doubt) at the other DE Reed may be a liability against the run.
