Seattle Seahawks Trade Josh Wilson to Baltimore Ravens for Conditional Fifth-Round Pick

Per ESPN Fantasy on Seahawks defense

Conventional wisdom has it that while the Seahawks are moribund on offense, they’ve spent enough high picks on defense that they’re at least solid there. We don’t see it. Not to damn Aaron Curry for his entire career just because he had a poor rookie year, but his next impact play will be his first. Kelly Jennings was a bad first-round pick and Josh Wilson is even worse, so the team is still looking for someone to play corner opposite Marcus Trufant. (The Ken Lucas experiment didn’t work in 2009.) Lofa Tatupu is healthy, Leroy Hill is good, and rookie free safety Earl Thomas looks like a player, but Patrick Kerney retired, leaving huge pass-rush question marks. Shaky pass rush and questionable corners? Pete Carroll has his work cut out for him.

so effing pissed.

3 returned for a touchdown, arguably our best corner blitzer…gone just like that.

Make me optimistic please. Our awful secondary just got a lot worse.

Earl Thomas’ pick six was directly caused by JW’s talent.

Overwhelmingly bad form, Seattle. This is how you lose fans.

Whatever the management is smoking they need to step away from the pipe

That if one of Jennings or Pistol had to go the clear choice should have been the guy with no ball skilz. MEH.

Height wont help when you cant play the ball in the air, and the two things we know about Jennings, make that 3 are, cover is decent, size is paper thin, ball skills are non existant.

Pistol MADE PLAYS and added value for it.

We need play makers now more than we did 3 hours ago sadly.

Poor Choice IMO

But the virtual guarantee Jennings is staying despite showing absolutely no improvement from year #1. I don’t care if it’s a scheme issue, he has no ball skills, and gets beaten easily in deep coverage.

You’re welcome, DeCosta.

Farewell.

… Pete Carroll would be getting his ass chewed beyond recognition in the film room.

Pete, you were supposed to be an upgrade over Mora and Ruskell. This is nothing short of a jackass deal.

I’m off to the razor blade and noose store. Have fun!

They Seahawks could have have a year of production and still received a better compensatory in 2012, strange trade

I’m so outraged that I will come out of my mobile-internet-phone cave, and cry with my fellow fieldgull flockers :`(

We are very desperate for Cornerbacks. We are in the process of converting our third round pick of 2010 [Amari Spievey] into a Safety because he was not cutting it at corner. I can’t believe we would not have given you a fourth rounder for him. Our fourth rounder would have been in a better position than Baltimore’s. I wish that does not turn out to be true but I am a realist.

Maybe the NFL has a rule restricting how many trades two teams can make with each other?

…of the Fuhrer busting an aorta over this godforsaken trade.

There’s only room in this town for one RT @gregjohns1 Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting Seahawks traded CB Josh Wilson to Ravens

This move gave me full blown aids.

A damn shame really.

fuck

I really liked this player. Even put him in my little gif on Fieldgulls.

FUCK

“The 100 Things Seahawks Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die”

1. - Did you know Josh Wilson was traded for a 5th round draft pick? What you should do is strangle a puppy and commit seppuku.

We just need to secede from the NFL. A litany of laughingstock moves has us destine for opprobrium anyway.

CFL Anyone? We can get our asses kicked up north, eh?

He may have just found himself on a SB-caliber team.

Still, all in all, I’d rather rant.

I’m going to go pour Tabasco Sauce in my eyes, and feel lucky!

Josh is a great kid, and this is a team that really came after him. It happened very quickly."

“[Baltimore] has a situation where they have a strong need,” Schneider said. “It was one of those deals that comes along, and we felt we couldn’t pass it up.” The Ravens have been desperately looking for help at the cornerback position since losing Domonique Foxworth(notes) for the season to a torn ACL. It’s a great deal for a Super Bowl contender, which the Ravens are and the Seahawks are not.

aaaannnnddd FUCK. Couldn’t they at least have thrown Willis Mcgahee out of sympathy?

But here:

Is another look at the deal with a bit of new info.

I’m sure we’ll all be ‘pumped’ after reading it.

This just seems downright unjustifiable to me, admittedly I don’t have a football IQ of John Morgan but I don’t think it takes a wiz to see this one stinks.. I’ve been mulling it over for a few hours now and i just can’t see the logic or any redeeming part to this. You’re right Mr. Morgan, the Seahawks just got a lot worse, and alienated more than a few fans

Should have included McGahee with that conditional 5th-rounder. WTF!

this team finally broke my brain.

Schneider:

This was a team that was very aggressive in coming after Josh.

How in the BLOODY HELL is a 5th round pick “very aggressive”, and why the hell did Schneider not smell blood in the water and ask for more?

Did they show up at his doorstep with donuts this morning, or what?

I don’t see why when Baltimore came with their sob story about their decimated secondary that Schneider didn’t counter with how sorry our O-Line is, and by the way, how are contract negotiations coming along with Jared Gaither?

Throw Gaither in with a 4th a maybe I could understand.

A head-case, back-spasmy Gaither is still probably better than 3/5ths of our line right now.

And felt they would not be willing to pay out a significant contract for a nickle-back – however good he is. I love(d) him, too, but I can understand the move. Even if I don’t want to accept it right now…

Anyone know the ‘conditions’?

Quick, someone hand me a baton.

Right?

…

San Diego would only let the Seahawks talk to VJax. It is obvious that the Hawks can be easily worked.

a doubt the dumbest, most brain-dead idiotic mother****ing trade made by this team in recent memory.
