Nextyearfordaboyz Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I can't remember who it was, but we definitely had a player once that had a bone bruise and took forever to come back. Apparently a bone bruise is more serious than the name would suggest. Hope he's ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty clear to me that we’re not trading for Earl Thomas, so we may as well sign Iloka. Granted, they play different positions, but still...

Bone bruise is kind of a nebulous term, medically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant just keep waiting around. Why not? I know it feels like we are lost leverage with the Woods injury, but until Earl reports to the Seahawks, they aren't in a very strong position, either. ET is a veteran, future HOFer who was coached by our DB's coach and knows our defense. He'd probably be ready to play tomorrow. I get why everyone is anxious. But I don't think there is any evidence that says it's "clear" we won't trade for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, wouldn't cost a draft pick to trade for, and we need a safety. Good organizations explore their options. Don't get set on one thing and overpay. I find that encouraging.

matt79511 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 TBH I think we’re waiting on Earl to come down on his price, not Seattle to come down on theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Oh I like Iloka. I meant that It was discouraging to trading for another big name safety. Adding Iloka in FA and ET in trade would certainly be a huge makeover but it feels unlikely. However, the FA saftey pool is loaded and getting restocked with Iloka. That has to drive down both ET and Seattle's price Edited August 20, 2018 by DaBoys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
