原来是绿湾的Director of Football Operations,2010年被挖到了Seattle.
以下是他选秀的成果
QB Russell Wilson: 2012 third-round pick.
LT Russel Okung: 2010 first-round pick.
SS Kam Chancellor: 2010 fifth-round pick.
CB Richard Sherman: 2011 fifth-round pick.
FS Earl Thomas: 2010 first-round pick.
OLB Malcolm Smith: 2011 seventh-round pick.
CB Byron Maxwell: 2011 sixth-round pick.
OLB Bruce Irvin: 2012 first-round pick.
MLB Bobby Wagner: 2012 second-round pick.
WR Golden Tate: 2012 second-round pick.
WR Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse: undrafted.
以上人员的一个重要特点是便宜,在现行cap体系下,球队没有薪金空前来囤积大量的球星,而组建一支有竞争力的球队,一定要靠优质的选秀。
自由球员签约
Cliff Avril
Michael Bennett
Zach Miller
Sydney Rice
不是想不想的问题,而是能不能的问题。今年Thomas的cap hit 2.9M, Sherman的cap hit 0.6M. 明年过后Thomas平均年薪至少要7M-8M/y,Sherman估计要10M/y. 合同的签约金再怎么做,cap hit跟现在比肯定要有巨大的增长。换句话说,如果这2个人都用大合同留住,那么其他核心球员肯定要走不少。。。
