I keep trying to spin this one but ain't no frekkin' way ! well my second fav team is now the Seahawks and whoever is playing the Cowgirls . Oddly enough my brother was always a Seahawks fan so this lets me keep tabs on Sam. He passed away before the Wilson trade so he would be pretty shocked right now with everything that's gone on there. I actually got him a Mitchell and Ness Bosworth jersey for Christmas the year before he passed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that maybe they wanted him the fold for us as long as possible, but he wasn’t ever going to have a real chance to start over the next two years — the FO/staff that chose him and has coached him is gone, and this new regime is going to invest massively in their own guy. Everything was going to be targeted at getting that guy ready to be a star, which was going to leave Sam totally in the shadows. He’s now moved to a team with a ton of good weapons and a pretty mediocre aging QB. If it happens to click for him out there, he’s got a real chance to change his stars. It’s a happy day for Sam, as far as I’m concerned. Exactly. I'm a big fan of his and like you said, while I wish he was still here, if the new regime has decided that he is not in their plans, then this is a WIN/WIN for both the team AND Sam. We get compensation for him better than what we used to draft him and he gets to start somewhere fresh where the FO and coaching staff have made the decision that he fits in their plans and they want him there. I hope he develops into a great QB for them (or someone else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m rooting for him too, but…only kind of 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch DC Football Fan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Our GM looks even better this weekend! More trade value then Fields, that’s surprising to me. I liked Howell, but think he gets a good deal with the trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting to me is that Seattle’s front office really liked Sam & was obviously impressed by him when we played them last year and he almost brought us back for the win. Sam is pretty comparable to Russell Wilson so I'm assuming they think he can be like Russ with some more development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Bears actually took a lesser deal than what they were offered from some other teams. I guess he wanted to go to Pitt & play for Tomlin/ learn from Russ. Probably a good move that will help his career development as a pocket passer. Edited March 31 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
