Crap, sounds like we need a backup QB: Boykins arrested for public intoxication and drug charges after being a passenger in a car injuring 4

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested early Monday morning in Dallas after a car he was riding in crashed into a bar and injured multiple people.

According to a Fox 4 News report, a woman driving the vehicle hit four people on a sidewalk and injured a worker inside the bar when her vehicle crashed. Boykin, who was listed on the police report as a passenger, was arrested on related drug charges and public intoxication.

With Boykins being arrested, might as well go after Kap. You can get him on the cheap and he'll fit right in because the Seahawks are full off players and coaches who ain't scared to express their opinions.

Yeah, as much as I & a lot of fans dislike the guy, he's still an upgrade.

I was hoping he'd stay retired. Disappointing news. :cry:

Richard Sherman Trade Rumors 

Post#26 » by JustinCredible » Tue Apr 11, 2017 1:09 pm

Will Seattle find a deal that makes sense? You'd have to think that a deal would happen before or during the NFL Draft if it ends up happening.

I can't imagine Seattle going into this season as a contender with no good CB's so there would have to be a backup plan to Sherman if he is traded. Would a deal with New England work where we get back Malcolm Butler plus a draft pick?

What are your thoughts on the Sherman rumors? Personally I love him as a player but can't stand his mouth anymore.

CB Kevin King - Washington:


CB Marlon Humphrey - Alabama:



If we can somehow land another late 1st round pick or if he slides to the 2nd....I'd LOVE TJ Watt. Dude was an absolute beast at Wisconsin and just flat out knows how to play.

TJ Watt - Wisconsin

Hey, nice to have another Hawks fan on this forum. Btw, a Hawks fan in cheesehead country? :wink:

I'm not sure what's gonna happen with Sherm tbh. Different reports almost everyday. He's going, he's staying...

I think it's likely 50/50 at this stage that he suits up for the team this fall. If he does get traded, it better be for a decent haul. At least a (1st & another pick)/ or (decent lineman + a pick) in return. This team is too short on db's to loose him for a mid-round pick at best. Starting potentially two rookies at corner could also spell disaster. Carolina fell apart when they let Norman go.

Love Sherm, but at his age (29), I'm okay parting with him. But, again it would have to be a "good to great" offer.

I haven't really followed a lot of the mocks or draft prospects but CB & OL are our biggest needs obviously.

This draft is deep with CB's & not so much with OL. I expect us to take a CB with our 1st or 2nd pick. If we trade Sherm, I think it's almost certain we would take one early.

I fell in love with Russell Wilson as a QB in his lone year as a Badger. I have some friends on the inside of the athletic department and they raved about him as a person.

I decided that whatever team drafts Wilson that will be my favorite team. I've watched every Seahawks game since and have been a diehard fan. I've hated the Packers since they traded Favre (was a good move in hindsight but still hate them).

My wife and I made the trip and went to the NFC Championship game in Seattle against the Niners and it was amazing.

That's great to hear! That championship game against the Pack must have been extra sweet for you lol.

Hmmm....

NFL draft rumors: Seahawks, Falcons getting ready for potential day 1 trade


Once they move back, the Seahawks will then target an offensive lineman. The name given to me is tackle Garett Bolles of Utah. Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable was on the Utes campus this past Sunday meeting with the team’s top offensive line prospects.

I’m told the compensation for the swap is likely to end up being a fourth-round pick.

I heard he was the most athletic offensive lineman in the draft so that fits the Seahawks mold. They believe they can teach skill on the line and like to bring in athletes.

If he's not available at the pick, who do you see them going with?

It is really starting to seem like Bolles is their target and that they would possibly entertain moving up to 19 to get him. If he is gone I think they trade back with Atlanta or out of the first round entirely.

Here is a good story on Bolles:

Reading it makes you realize how much of a Hawks guy he is. Seems like the ideal fit.

I would agree. It's not ideal that he's basically a 25 year old rookie, but at this point I'd take any good tackle available. Then best CB in round two.
