The Seattle Seahawks front office for the most part has a good reputation based on their success over the last decade. However, there’s a case to be made that whatever faith this organization built up during its peak run has been squandered and in truth they are behind the times when it comes to team building in the modern NFL. With no Russell Wilson around to play the hero, odds are this team will get a rude awakening this coming season.
Some folks get it. A new ranking of the league’s 32 GMs by Patrick Daugherty at NBC places John Schneider low – he’s just No. 22 on the list.
“The Seahawks’ front office has made two signature moves the past three years: Trading two first-round picks for a safety and acquiring two first-round picks for the quarterback who oversaw at least one playoff victory six of his 10 years in town. I’m not sure which, but that seems like a cardinal sin. It’s definitely a team-building sin. The one thing you do not do in the modern NFL is give away a franchise quarterback.”
