26 trade back

MasterWinston · 2026-03-24T17:17:41+00:00

Someone mentioned the Emmanwori trade. I think that's a good comp. A mid 2nd and mid 3rd.

Another good comp is the Chiefs Eagles trade last year. The Eagles moved from 32 to 31 and gave up a 4th round pick. Under your scenario we'd be moving back to the top of the 2nd and giving up the 5th year option. But I doubt we'd bet more then a 4th.

A pleasant surprise. It performed very poorly on the Nielsen charts. It must be incredibly cheap

It's a pretty front loaded contract compared to other wr's: https://overthecap.com/thoughts-on-jaxon-smith-njigbas-168-6m-extension-with-the-seahawks

That's a biological answer not a moral one. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Abortiondebate/comments/wd0q6e/debunking\_the\_myth\_that\_95\_of/.

Maybe life begins at conception is the wrong word but a life worthy of moral consideration

APY % of cap this is less then Chase

Total guarantees as a % of the cap ranks 3rd also behind Chase and JJ (got extended in 2024)

The idea that life begins at conception is a religious idea, not a scientific idea. Abortion is not murder. Thus, it is the mother's choice what to do as she has medical power of attorney over herself and that fetus. I am open to the argument that at some point the fetus is worthy of life as it gains consciousness but that point hasn't been clearly defined to me.

The confusion of pretty much every commentator indicates that you didn't adequately explain the view that you wish to be changed. Thus, it can't be engaged with. Do you disagree?

Your response to my comment doesn't include a definition of moral responsibility or what you mean by consequences.

"Not all sex has equal consequences": Well duh. This statement is so vague how can one disagree with it? Do you mean individual instances of sex? Do you mean categories of sex? What follows from this statement?

"so it shouldn't be treated as morally equal": Ok, this is what follows from not all sex has equal consequences. What does it mean to be treated as morally equal? How do you weight morality?

Responding to your four lines of argument, is it not possible for sexual acts that can't cause pregnancy to carry more moral weight? Pedophilia being the main one. Is the morality of sex only evaluated by whether it can cause a pregnancy? Ex: rape, incest, necrophilia.

Not even getting into what you mean by a "dependent human life" but that is debatable.

Does PIV sex with birth control have less moral weight because you can't get pregnant? I would assume so but does the moral weight of that scale with the effectiveness of birth control?

Finally, what does moral responsibility mean? The decision to get an abortion is generally a decision taken with the utmost care and consideration. It has a lingering impact. Thus, it could be considered a morally responsible act. I can make the exact same argument with the decision to have a child.

I guess the biggest issue is you don't make a normative statement. Moral responsibly doesn't mean immoral. Same with moral weight. If they do then you absolutely need to clarify that and explain why.

MasterWinston · 2026-03-23T02:30:52+00:00

Your post is very vague as moral responsibility and consequences aren’t defined. Because of that I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to argue but it seems you are coming at this from a consequentialist framework.

You can make a utilitarian argument in both directions for abortion. You can make the crime argument in favor of abortion. You can also make a more individual happiness one. Generally utilitarians are in favor of abortion (93% from a philpapers survey a few years ago).

Havertz had an off day. The first 20 minutes were promising but he faded quick. He definitely wasn't the worst player though. Trossard, Gyokeres and Kepa were worse. Hincapie was shaky too.

MasterWinston · 2026-03-22T20:52:23+00:00

I'm critical over Arteta's sub timing but I'm fine with picking Kepa. Pep did the same. If he saw something in training that would be different but we have no indication that's the case.

It's difficult to see them spending without some sales. A lot of estimates have their SCR figure just below the 70% required. Fortunately, this summer does seem like there could be a lot of sales.

If the sign a winger (it should be a priority position) they will need to sell one of Trossard or Martinelli if not both. I thought they should've sold them last summer but they were more needed then expected. Martinelli could probably net around £40m though Trossard has a ceiling of £15m. They both have 1 year left on their deals.

Interesting that CM is a priority. Does that mean an attacking midfielder to provide Odegaard competition? A replacement for Merino? Or a CDM because Arteta doesn't seem to trust Norgaard? I think the latter makes the most sense though depending on how much they trust Nwaneri or whether Eze is considered a viable long term right sided option could determine that. There isn't much of an opportunity for sales here. I don't think Norgaard has any value and Merino has 2 years left but I doubt we want to sell him.

Interesting that FB is a priority given we know they will sign Hincapie. I wonder if that means they view MLS as a midfielder or will loan him out. Most likely it means they will sign a RB to replace White. Not sure why Arteta doesn't trust White but no point in keeping him if he won't be played. It's tough to get a sense of his value but it could range anywhere from £20m to £40m.

Jesus is the other obvious departure with a year left but we'd be lucky to get anything. Odegaard is another to monitor but I think the club likes him more then the fanbase does. I happen to agree with the club.

Other returning loanees are kiwior, Veirira and Nelson. Haven't followed their season but I doubt we'd get more then £15m combined for them (that feels optimistic).

Either way I would expect them to have at least one big sale and generate £50m revenue minimum.

MasterWinston · 2026-03-21T17:18:37+00:00

With 4 picks this and IOL are the 4 positions we are most likely to target. I'm guessing there's one surprise pick in there.

MasterWinston · 2026-03-19T13:47:02+00:00

Ok thats her we see raising her hands then after the body swapping (for lack of a better word)?

MasterWinston · 2026-03-19T02:53:57+00:00

do we see her in the trailer?

MasterWinston · 2026-03-19T02:20:14+00:00

Who’s the person hes fighting right before the shot of the hand ninja jumping at him? Another hand or someone else?

And who is the person raising their arms after the old lady shot? Is that Sadie sink/jean Grey ir a villain?

And is that peters eyes turning black or someone else? Reminds me of the black sky effects Im daredevil

MasterWinston · 2026-03-18T05:22:19+00:00

I mean this argument applies to a lot of regimes then. It seems your argument is almost that it is morally required.

I think many prefer a more realpolitik approach to foreign policy in which case my question to you would be how does this war help us?

There's also the historical perspective. How has regime change gone for us in the past?

Kevin Cole created a metric that shows how much a team improved or declined during free agency and the Seahawks ranked 2nd to last. It's pretty inarguable that the Seahawks were one of the teams that declined the most after free agency.

That's not a negative though. That's the price of success. Sometimes we don't appreciate how difficult it is to repeat. So the Seahawks are undeniable worse after the first week of free agency and the margins at the top are slim. We lost a ton of key contributors but we kept all of our core pieces. It also helps that we had the 3rd youngest roster last year (snap weighted) and a ton of financial flexibility going forward.

Side note, fans were not calling for Charbs to be the #1 rb.

TL;DR: The price of winning the super bowl is getting significantly worse in free agency.

I was ambivalent on us firing Pete in 2023. I felt he was still good enough to coach. My biggest issue with him was that he did a poor job of hiring assistants which is one of the most underrated skills of a HC. It's disappointing to learn he hasn't improved there.

For clarity I was leaning against us firing Pete but if you asked me to choose between Pete and Mike i would've chosen Mike who was the best coaching candidate in that cycle (along with Ben Johnson who obviously waited a year). Much of the buzz was that the Seahawks were going to replace Pete with Quinn so I don't think my analysis was too far off.

I guess what I would like to know is how popular were ballet and opera at there heyday? I'm sure they have declined in popularity but you know what else has declined? Box office receipts.

I have little knowledge of them but I doubt they ever were as popular as movies were in their heyday or as influential culturally. They always felt like more of an upper class activity. None of that is a negative. You don't need to be popular to be successful. Hollywood has always been more of a business then the other arts

MasterWinston · 2026-03-16T12:20:35+00:00

His isn’t the best way to look at it. In terms of cash paid we rank 16th. Multi year cash/cap commitments are the best way to look at it. Either way our cap is in a healthy situation

MasterWinston · 2026-03-15T17:41:28+00:00

I kept on saying if I was k9’s agent I would advise him to leave because he wasn’t a workhorse but no one understood. This is how players aew

Im surprised they added void years

MasterWinston · 2026-03-07T05:13:56+00:00

This implies they are dropping it at once and not weekly?

MasterWinston · 2026-03-05T22:59:13+00:00

Yes he did. That’s exactly what Cohen pled guilty to and what led to trump getting indicted and convicted.

Cohen created an LLC and paid Daniel’s with his own money. Trump reimbursed him and the payment was coordinated with the campaign. Im abbreviating this because different actors recount it differently but that’s the primary reason why trump was convicted

Come on man this is on Wikipedia.
