This offseason kicked off unlike any other in the history of the Seattle Seahawks; with the blockbuster trade that sent away the team’s longest-tenured and winningest quarterback in franchise history. This is a monumental, franchise-altering move that can in no way be understated; these are the kinds of decisions that will get discussed as long as people talk about football. This will pop up on lists for all eternity of best/worst/wildest transactions of all time because teams don’t show their Franchise Passer the door in the NFL very frequently. Sure, we have seen veterans on the move recently, and this trend very well may be a growing strategy in the cap-strapped era of salary management where every player who plays like a viable starter for a year or two has an opportunity to reset the market at his position.
