Would you do this deal?

His cap hits are higher, but $4.4m of it over those 2 years is his signing bonus, which is still Seattle's problem, I believe.

So it's really not bad money at all, but my other concerns/reasons still stand.

For a player of his caliber - at that position - it's not a ton of money. I wasn't saying he's overpaid or anything...just saying that 11+ million per is more than I'd want to spend at a position where we aren't exactly weak. Especially giving up a 1st round pick on top of that for a player on the downside.

I'm all for smart trades and FA moves, but that wouldn't be wise spending.
