Why in the world would we do that?

This can’t be true….WHAT?!?!?

August Fools right??

Please say it isn’t true.

Bullet! Nooooooooooooo!!!

didn’t take long to lose it.

Shefter also says that Foley was picked up by the Jets on Waivers

…that just doesn’t sound right. Tell me that’s not right.

How the – ? What the – ? Stunned. Pissed. Dear God this is dumb. I’ve been supportive up until now but this is god damned ridiculous.

That can’t be right. The guy plays like the 2nd rounder we drafted him with, and has more upside than most young corners in the league..

This can’t be right!!!!!!!!!

Because if it’s the cornerback Josh Wilson, and for a FIFTH ROUNDER, then rage will ensue.

has the chance to be a “Tapp Thread” level meltdown around here

WHAT?!

I could live with every other move. But this one is ridiculous.

From the TNT blog:

UPDATE: The Seahawks just confirmed the move, stating the team had traded Josh Wilson to Baltimore for a conditional 2011 choice. It’s being reported the pick is a fourth or fifth rounder.

Trufant, Jennings, Thurmond, Lewis, Babs?

Goddamn, this organization hates Ruskell’s draft picks.

Praising the churning of the roster. I agree to a point, but not Pistol, good God…

…and that it’d be to the sealions.

this hurts in the belly.

or maybe Cord parks?

Fucking.
Damnit.

Lets lose more playmakers in our secondary. That will ensure victory.

Unless he’s about to get popped for felony coke possession, this is fucking ridiculous!!

I hate the trade, don’t get me wrong; maybe I didn’t view him as a cornerstone of the franchise. He was always a bit of a ’tweener, right? Not really good at man coverage, not a big enough hitter to play safety.

Although, the more I think about it, and the more I consider his likely improvement going into this season, and our current depth at corner…..okay, I’m ready to GNN now.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!

GFG: the antithesis of GNN.

That’s it, one good day that they’ve had. What a fucking roller coaster ride.

Ozzie: Hey, John? Look, let me be honest with you because you know what’s going on. We’re in win now mode but we need that final cornerstone. We think Josh Wilson is it, he could start for us week 1.

John: I see.

Ozzie: What I’m saying is, we want this kid.

John: Ok, but we can go no lower than the 7th round!

Ozzie: …what?

John: Ok, a 6th rounder, but that’s my final offer.

Ozzie: I’m not sure you understand how this works. I approached you, you’re supposed to bend me over the barrel.

John: Look, I’m just saying, a 5th is the most we can ask.

Ozzie: But we’re talking about a starter here. I’m serious, a week 1 starter. Shouldn’t you be asking for a 2nd rounder, if not a 1st?

John: FINE. 5th rounder, conditional to a 4th!

Ozzie: Oh fuck it. Deal.

oh shut the fuck up Professor.

Reporters were told to stick around the VMAC. Apparently something else may be in the works.

Then WHAM. Betcha didn’t see that one coming motherfuckers!!!

Just because you don’t agree with every Ruskell pick doesn’t mean you have to give them all away. I was starting to warm up to Schneider and Carroll after the draft, but now I’m back to cold. I want Ruskell back.

Please stay healthy o’ completely rebuilt critical joint. We need you now more than ever.

XOXO,
Field Gulls

I was very close to buying a Wilson jersey this year. Glad I didn’t do that.

Unbelievable move. Fuck.

like, my heart physically hurts. My favorite Seahawk = gone.

Ellis Hobbs is a similarly built CB (5’9") with just one more season than Wilson at the time of trade, but the Pats got two 5th round draft picks. Q/PM is really terrible at trades.

Because I know it will make me very very sad.

the benefit of the doubt on everything they have done. But this is just beyond “WHAT THE FUCK”.

12th Man unite.

Time to embrace the Dark Side gents.

This is exactly how the Patriots have built a winning organization.

We have more corners than we can use. We’ll keep Tru-Jennings-Thurmond-Lewis and put Pinkard on the PS.

Lewis + draft pick is worth more than Josh Wilson.

A year from now, this 4th round pick will turn into a valuable player.

If one was to look at it another way, we’re so set with our corners that we can dump the weakest guy. Who didn’t appear to be weak at all but maybe, just maybe, all our other guys rock.

I might be grasping at straws.

Chris Clemons is our pass rusher. Darryl Tapp is now 3rd string.

Trust Schneider.

otherwise I don’t there is going to much reason to go to the game this year.

Carroll said that the play of rookie Walter Thurmond was a deciding factor — they’re confident enough in their depth guys & Kelly Jennings

But Thurmond was the primary reason. They love his quickness, his ability to man up into contact and his range.

Per Doug Farrar’s twitter

Also per Farrar:

Re: the value, Schneider brought up that Randy Moss was traded for a fourth — “that’s what the market was.”

It doesn’t look like any sensible explanation was given. String-copy:
Press conf. with Pete Carroll and John Schneider just wrapped up — they discussed the Josh Wilson trade. Carroll said that the play of rookie Walter Thurmond was a deciding factor — they’re confident enough in their depth guys & Kelly Jennings. But Thurmond was the primary reason. They love his quickness, his ability to man up into contact and his range.
Trade was also affected by Trufant’s excellent play this preseason. Slightly less of a need to keep a higher depth chart on roster now. Re: the value, Schneider brought up that Randy Moss was traded for a fourth — “that’s what the market was.”

FO_DougFarrar
Kelly Jennings is the starter opposute Trufant, but it sounds as if this is Thormond’s job to lose.
