They could also sit him behind Lock for a season if they don't want to throw him straight into the fire.

I am inclined to agree with Cleatwood.

Selfishly speaking, I hope they deal with us to get Willis, and then if they don't like him, they are in position to get one of the QBs next year if they do what Arizona did.

Of course, I could see them stand pat an take Willis at 9.

But the whole thing is curious from Seattle's perspective.

If I am Pete Carroll and in my 70s, do I really want to be around for a complete reset?

If I am Seattle GM John Schneider, do I wait till next year to take a QB with a new head coach?  Do I take one this year with a coach that may not be around for the long term?

Who else is on the trade block from Seattle?

It is a weird move. Personally, there is no way I would trade a star QB this season. Anyone you replace him with is gonna be a major downgrade, not to mention that their O-Line is a mess and they have no RB to speak of. I really thought they might've tagged Duane Brown, but they didn't. Given the state of the LT position for many NFL teams, he should be in high demand even at his age. I doubt he'd wanna re-sign with Seattle now that Russell is gone. They already needed an upgrade at RT, so they may be shopping for a pair of new starting OT's.
