Brock and Salk

The Seahawks cleared $50M in cap space and sat and watched while the rest of the league went nuts in free agency, but why? The guys run down a list of potential reasons, but Salk is not looking for a full-scale rebuild but saving some resources for next offseason wouldn’t be the worst plan. So what do we think the plan is? Brock's Blue 88. 

The Seahawks lost four (Dissly, Parkinson, Lewis and Brooks), kept two (Williams, Fant), and added none. What letter grade do they deserve for the their day? And who had the best of all? We revisit the conversation with ESPN's Dan Graziano. 

NFL Network draft analyst Lance Zierlein joins Mike Salk to discuss why he has the Seahawks taking an offensive linemen in his latest mock draft, what it would take to move up and get JJ McCarthy, and where Michael Penix is projected on his board. Then, Salk discusses whether the Seahawks will go into free agency with the mindset of being competitve this year or building towards the future. Plus, we rank the best ways the Seahawks can use their newfound cap space.

Salk and Brady discuss how the Seahawks have the 22nd most draft capital (according to PFF) which isn't the best or worst in the division, but is it balanced by the 7th most money to spend in free agency? The guys agree this team has a ton of work to do, so how much of it will be done in the draft and how much will be done in FA?

The NFL's negotiation period opens today and the Hawks are poised to make some moves in a big way with the room they've cleared in cap space, so who is target #1? Brady Henderson (ESPN) joins Salk to break down potential moves and their implications and are joined by Dan Graziano of ESPN to discuss who from Baltimore could be following Mike Macdonald. Brady fills in for Brock's Blue 88.

Maura takes us Around the Weekend of Mariners Spring Training wins, the Ryne Stanek signing, terrible Kraken loss and NCAA WBB. 

Brock breaks down why he's so convinced the Seahawks should go after JJ McCarthy, we take your calls and Justin and Salk have an emotional Ranked for you.

Brock & Salk spend more time on the Mariners starting pitchers before getting into the whirldwind experience of our Friday appearance with Gee Scott (97.3 KIRO) who covers a variety of topics and succeeds in making Salk very uncomfortable before the segment is over. 

Bryan Woo had a fantastic outing and it spurs some conversation about the starting rotation and if/how the M's could go with a 6-man rotation including Emerson Hancock, but Salk doesn't buy it. Is J.J. McCarthy really the dude for the Hawks, and should they actually make a move to trade up for him? What would it take to get to #6? Brock's Blue 88. 

Salk opens the show with a response to the comments coming out after the John Schneider Show suggesting that Jamal Adams "shut it down" after getting his big contract along with leaving the door open for the players who were cut, Bryan Woo and the M's get a nice Spring Training win, Cougs fall to UW in their final Pac-12 basketball matchup, Kraken may see another player depart today.
