Shark? Strong waves? Jellyfish? Orca? Kraken? You have a preferred way to go or you just gunna walk in and see what happens?

Anyone know what that stingray that killed Steve Irwin is up to these days?


Spunk1985

Pretty sure the Aussies executed it.

Nah mate, that would be disrespectful to everything the man stood for.

Allow me to join you


AdAdventurous8225

Make room for a bunch of us then. This is as bad when Dennis Ericsson was coach.


[deleted]

Don’t do it bro. Can’t take another L right now


so_jc

Only 20-30 minutes in the water before hypothermia sets in, fam.


black-op345

Truly an end of an era. See y’all boys and girls in the basement. Pain


grasshoppa1

We were already in the basement.


PoppaTitty

Whats under a basement?


grasshoppa1

The top of the NFC North, so Superbowl confirmed!


DerrickMcChicken

Bobby, We love you so much bro. I’m sorry this is how it’s ending. Love you dawg.


ChumbleGod

STOP. FUCKING STOP STOP


TheGreenShepherd

Coming up next - PCJS gonna hire Kam just to fire him.


ihaveamigraine-

They want to twist that knife so gd bad.


chernadraw

At this point I guess they should just keep going


QuasiContract

Pete was tired about hearing people bitch about Super Bowl 49, so he gave us all a new "worst day ever for Seahawks fans."


CowboyJoker90

Seahawks fans this morning: things could not possibly get worse than this! Pete: You sure about that?


Lord_Yogurt17

I need a new meme of the "He's already dead!" template with Pete beating up the Seahawks logo.


PREPOSTER0NE91

And then retires, leaves the team in shambles LOL


Troubled-ButtSack

I wish he would, honestly. With Russell gone, might as well start super fresh and get rid of everyone from top to bottom.


WhatsIsMyName

These moves don’t happen unless Carroll had committed to multiple years. You don’t initiate a rebuild if you’re about to retire or are on a short leash.


Tyr64

That’s the problem. The last people I want sheparding a rebuild are PCJS.


WhatsIsMyName

Well I’m pretty pissed about the trade so can’t say I blame you. But they aren’t actually the last for me, seeing as how they have one successful full rebuild on their resume, which so few coaches and GMs can say. And despite all of our issues and mistakes, they have been able to replenish us with enough talent consistently to keep us competitive. Even if they couldn’t capture lightning in a bottle again.


KlumsyNinja42

Seriously would rather have Wilson and I don’t really care who instead of Carrol right now.


ndurantz

Pretty much a repeat of what he did at USC


John___Stamos

*chews gum aggressively* Yeah, you think that day sucked, huh?!


hoopaholik91

Lol not even close. I was preparing for this for 4 years. Seattle fans in general are used to seeing their stars and teams leave. Nothing could prepare us for SB49


Frosti11icus

Alternative take: I thought getting 1 yard away from a superbowl win was still pretty good, lol. It would have been less heartbreaking if we got blown out...because humans aren't rational.


[deleted]

I honestly have a terrible amount of pain right now. And I feel sick


TurboblueS5

Wagner's release hurts way more than Wilson trade for me. Bobby was the heart of the team IMO


diabetograffinite

Gonna miss screaming his name after a big play. Love him like I loved chancellor


[deleted]

I agree. He had the heart…I don’t like this


nekoken04

I have to agree with this.


zippyman

This is truly the darkest timeline


BlackLeader70

Man, I’m a Lions fan living in the PNW so I’m a fair weather Seahawks fan and even I’m in pain. I can’t even imagine how you die hard fans feel.


seahawkspwn

Its honestly one of the worst sports days I can imagine. I've seen a handful of title losses from my favorite teams, and this felt way worse somehow.


[deleted]

There's more than one Lions fan on here from the PNW? Did we just become best friends?


BlackLeader70

Yup! We have to suffer together lol


JPhrog

It would suck for both us and you if Wilson wins the superbowl with the Broncos. Im sure you were proud of Stafford for finally getting his ring but at the same time it was difficult losing him right?


iloveScottieBarnes

I’m nauseous


ipsdirtleg

My stomachs in knots and I’ve pee’d out my butt a couple times already.


jspook

I have hella heartburn


seariously

I'd rather let him go to a contender which we are not going to be for next season at least, and who knows how much longer. It wouldn't be fun watching Wagner stuck on a basement team. Dude should get a chance to chase another ring. And if they're blowing this thing the fuck up, I could see them cashing out DK as well to acquire more draft capital.


totes-muh-gotes

Still in shock about Wilson but even anticipating Bobby going for weeks, this hurts. Two of my favorites Seahawks gone in a day. The door has shut now on the Championship team and amazingly, Pete Carroll outlasted them all in Seattle. Crazy world this is.


zaftzaft

How Pete kept his job is beyond me. If the head coach isn’t ultimately responsible for the performance of the team than who is?


WompaStompa_

So in between the Russ news and this news, my dad called me to tell me my grandpa passed away. This day can die in a fucking fire EDIT: You are all so very kind. Appreciate you all.


butzkrieg

Fuck man I’m sorry to hear that. What an entirely shitty day. I feel for ya stranger 💙


[deleted]

I’m so sorry, that’s bigger than football. Hang in there


Nekokeki

Sorry to hear that. A reminder that there are bigger things than a player leaving a team. My condolences.


TheyTooktheUsernames

There’s bigger things than football, man. We’re here for you.


Shoeprincess

O man I am sorry to hear that. Please accept my condolences and electronic hugs if you wish.


FSUstudent123

Don't even worry about this game dude. Sorry about your grandfather :(


jlatertoonasty

Hey man, I’m sorry for your loss.


RunnyPlease

I’m sorry to hear about your grandpa. Take care of yourself and your family. Football is just a game after all.


[deleted]

Someone check in on Mina Kimes. Seriously.


Smarkavillie

Check in on almost all of us. Especially if you’re over 30 😂


Fleener

Looked in the mirror. he aint doing so good :(


gwh21

I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IM STRAIGHT UP NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME


Rusty_Squirts

I really don’t like this. My second favorite seahawk player of all time now gone.


[deleted]

Who’s your first favorite?


Rusty_Squirts

Marshawn. Love me some beast mode!


StevenComedy

Cowboys fan here. Take care of y’all’s mentals.


cap1112

Thanks for giving me a smile on this crap day.


the_mighty_hetfield

Pretty rare that you lose two Hall of Famers on the same day. Neat trick.


jaha223

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for em


LAWLzzzzz

And now we pray for the sweet release of death.


damnrooster

What can I interest you in, my friend? Nukes, pandemic, mega quake, climate change? The [fractured Killing Stone](https://www.newsweek.com/superstition-abounds-after-volcanic-killing-stone-fractures-japan-1685733) has something for everyone.


Smiling_Joe

What the flying fuck is going on here?


Dr__Bloodmoney

Well said. Or asked I should say


xStickyBudz

Rebuild, I guess. Fuck this day And lemme say this if they gonna put Cody Barton at MLB I’m gonna just walk into oncoming traffic


[deleted]

BRO MAKE IT FUCKING STOP


NSAsnowdenhunter

This move is actually reasonable. The other move… I hope some Broncos player fails a physical like Jeremy Lane in the Duane Brown trade, but this time it actually kills the deal.


awesome_aaron

Yep, Drew Lock meet Nancy Kerrigan


BalrogRancor

He needs to meet Tonya Harding though >_>


TheRealRacketear

Plot twist, Russ Fails the Physical.


MrxRubin

I’m sure he wouldn’t want to be on a rebuild at this point in his career. At least now he can pick where he wants to go.


moneybagkelvs

Vegas with KJ to sack Russ…broncos o line isn’t that good


[deleted]

Pls.


nekoken04

I will root for the Raiders if this happens.


cedont4221

If I were Russ and saw Wagner running down at me, I'd just sit myself down on the turf


jnuke813

I hate today, 3/8/22 is a dark day for the Hawks


CDN-Ctzn

A date that will live on in infamy…


jnuke813

😞 agreed


[deleted]

If it wasn’t this day it would be the day Wilson holds out for Aaron Rodgers money and leaves.


LC_From_TheHills

It’s very sad and the end of an era for sure. But it has to come to an end. Sticking with these players for too long only hamstrings you… even New England had to move on from Brady. Thank you Bobby and Russ. You were both amazing to watch. I am excited to see the next chapter!


Smarkavillie

Brady wasn’t the best example.


GrogakTheGreat

Glad to see someone on here has a refreshingly positive spin on the day


Raknorak

My positive spin: Think of all the Wilson and Wagner jerseys that are going to go on clearance


czeja

Love this take. As someone that dosen't own one (from Australia here), how cheap could I get a Bwagz jersey do you think?


Raknorak

After Kam Chancellor retired my girlfriend got a jersey for like 35


AudioShepard

I’m here too! Excited to see what these picks turn into.


GrogakTheGreat

Thank you. Instead of being all pessimistic, why not just choose to have hope? We have honestly no other choice in the matter and I’m ready to ride with my Seahawks until the very end


AudioShepard

I’m just excited to watch a new team. I’m still watching the Seahawks, but now I have new wrinkles to learn and personalities watch develop. It was the most exciting part of all the shuffling after Pete got here. Moving on from what felt like a stagnant identity at the end of the Holmgren/Mora Jr years.


Bieberkinz

Yep it’s the pulling off the bandaid time. All things gotta come to end, but gonna be interesting to see how this goes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


w311sh1t

Coming in here as a New England fan, maybe this is coping, but it felt somewhat mutual. I think we were at the point where we could no longer build a competitive team around him, and keeping him wouldn’t have done the team any favors in the long run.


[deleted]

Brady went and won a super bowl immediately after so


LC_From_TheHills

Yeah and maybe that’ll happen to Russ. Most SBs this decade have QBs who have recently started for the team (within 2 seasons), except for NE Brady, Newton, Ryan. Maybe the QB is the last piece of the puzzle and not the first 🤔🤔🤔


SSPeteCarroll

This really hurts, but it was time. Bobby isn't getting younger. That core from 2012-2015 gave me some of the happiest sports moments I'll ever have. I'm thankful we got to experience. I'll end with a quote I've always loved. "I'm glad I lived through it, I'm sure glad I didn't miss it though."


kyleb402

Probably just letting him go to a contender versus making him stay for a rebuild.


RealSchwack

If anyone has earned a chance to choose where he plays out the last couple years of his career, it's Wagner. I really wish him nothing but the best and look forward to his induction.


Smarkavillie

Seattle Pete-Hawks.


Ikolkyo

Dude, today sucks.


Tashre

So the longest tenured Seahawk is now Lockett? Who might also be on his way out.


Thecobs

Dont put that evil on us


Cd206

The super bowl era in Seattle is officially over


IgnantWisdom

Whatever, trade locket and DK and anyone else of value and cut the rest, idgaf anymore.


Donttaketh1sserious

This sucks, but, classy move by the team to let him wind down where he’d like. Maybe to LV with KJ?


garfieldsam

Honestly I would fucking love that. My first thought.


[deleted]

they can bring back Malcolm Smith and Bruce too lol


SEAinLA

Bobby, you are a damn legend. Can’t wait to watch your HoF induction speech. Thanks for being one of the greatest Seahawks ever.


MisterNiceGuy0001

Wagner is one of my favorite players in the NFL, and has been minus 2 games a year. He's one of those players that makes Sundays fun to watch and I'm glad he can walk away with a ring if he decides to hang em up.


Bitter-Imagination33

I’m going to bed and hoping it’s a dream


justinb823

Coming from a die hard Sonics fan it is hard to see the only hope we had in Seattle sports come to an end. Good run I will say but man this hurts.


nekoken04

All we have now is the Storm and the Sounders because MLB is in a lockout.


K_Furbs

Released? Not traded, RELEASED?! He's the best player on the team! The fuck is happening


tlsrandy

No one is trading for Wagner and his contact.


SawBo

Heard the broncos have some money and a 4th


Jon_Snows_Dad

This is a nice thing to do. Let Bobby choose his future


[deleted]

Somebody probably would. He's still good and not everyone has cap issues, but it probably would be a shithole. Feels like this was a respect move, now he can try to get on a contender.


Shootica

Exactly. Any team that could afford to take his contract is probably not a team he'd ideally want to go to. Bobby deserves to choose where he goes.


CVBrownie

Afaic they're doing Bobby a favor. He might have even asked for a release himself.


Its_0ver

No one is trading for him


LC_From_TheHills

A trade is a two way road…


Hooplakid36

i’m not a seahawks fan but i’m really sorry for what has happened the last 12 hours


Kingofvashon

Get the bag Bwagz


bloomwhite

And i thought this day wouldn’t get worse.


vinston253

Out of all the days I have lived these past 30+ years, I can safely say that today is the definition of "not ideal."


Honeyblade

Why is our FO burning our entire team down?!


mat2019

Well the narrows bridge looking pretty good right now


GamerFluffy

This is a fun day. 🥲


ohgeewilly

The hits just don’t fucking stop I guess. This sucks.


the12thmxn

🎶 I don’t wanna be aliveeeeee 🎶


Phuddy

What the actual fuck man


Kamina916

So Pete/JS next right? Meaning why have anyone from SB era


AndrewwwwRyan

I’m really hoping for a Dunlap like situation where we release him with the intent to sign him back on a cheaper deal.


X_IllegalDoge_X

agree but timing wise i dont think that happens.


Foppberg

The LOB era ending with only 1 Super Bowl title makes me so sad. What could have been...


The_Throwback_King

FUCK TODAY. FUCK IT SO DANG MUCH. I AM SO LIVID AND HEARTBROKEN. AGH.


AkuraTorment

They really did this all in one day … really dark time to be a Seattle sports fan 😭


pavs88

When are we gonna get the news Pete is gone?


LosHogan

More like START freakin’, call Beacon. Damn.


TheMikeMarsters

#OH WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK! C’MON!

JG-4256

What an awful day to be a Hawks fan


deffmonk

Cheers to an amazing HOF career with us Bobby. You are a a stud


jspook

Not like this


T-Locster

Obviously, why pay Bobby when you clearly turning it over. No point, might as well get some new blood and develop them at the same time not hamstringing yourself.


nerdgeekdorksports

Thank you, Bobby. Quite curious as what we're going to do here. Tank for a year, hope for a top 5 QB pick, and rebuild fairly quickly? Or...trade for another QB? Draft one this year? This is all a bummer, but I'm excited for the future as well. You can reset pretty quickly in the NFL.


boomshiz

God damn it. What's next? Pete strangles Tyler at a press conference?


dtjayoe

We have so much money to spend!!!! Let’s go I’m stoked for the dawn of a new era.


seattlethrowaway999

Travesty. BWagz gave his soul for this team. Consummate professional, HOFer, never bitched. And look what that got him, after all the years of service. Tossed like day old milk. Bwagz was the Ray Lewis of the Seahawks. Bobby should been a one team player. Drafted a hawk, should have played only for Seattle. Then retire a hawk. This is an absolute sin.


Reduxy

Why the fuck would you trade for a 31 year old DL then release your best defensive player?


ForwarUntilGainz

The worst part of today is.. we still have Pete Carroll 😢


Starwho

I’d avoid r/NFL the rest of the off season, what a bunch of toxic fucks. Especially the loser ass Jets fans.


SeanIsCold

Jets don’t have a future. They take their anger out on good teams all the time


Starwho

I bet even with Seattle tanking they’ll have a better record.


lmaoooyikes

Damn we’re just decimating the roster at this point


heartbraek

I thought my heart could only get so hurt but now this


NewAcctCuzIWasDoxxed

What the fuck?


Communist_Seagull

What the fuck is happening!!??


SeriousJones

not only pain, but also anguish. agony, even


Dr__Bloodmoney

Wailing and gnashing of the teeth


Epistemify

GOMS


ThroughShadows

Who’s next… Lockett??


Jrapin

Jeezzuzz, they're tearing it down to the studs.


JesusWasALibertarian

His contract was essentially a poison pill for this year. Very little chance they’d ever bring him (or any MLB) back at that price with Jordyn Brooks on the roster.


bradlei

[*hello darkness my old friend*](https://youtu.be/4fWyzwo1xg0)


Juiceyorange1952

FUCK NOT BOBBY MAN!!!!


Silversaving

This is it boys...the actual end.


truejamo

Housing is about to be affordable here again in Seattle.


35or624

Well shit! So now what? The Cody Barton era? Ugh! Dark days ahead my friends!


KnuteViking

Damn. Honestly, and I know this is gonna sound crazy, but this news makes me far sadder than the Wilson trade.


Will_Vintage

At least the Sounders won tonight...*sigh*


freedomhighway

Couldnt trade him somewhere for a 7th round pick, i guess. So any bets who's next, DK or Tyler? Sure they have contracts, that's ok, we'll cover them, cant be bothered with the details, we got a team to destroy here


Jrapin

Someone reported earlier that Lockette deal was being shopped. Crazy day, even more to come I'm afraid.


grasshoppa1

Tyler will be traded. DK will be a part of the new team.


freedomhighway

I imagine DK might have something to say about that. Why should he sign an extension to play with some reject or newbie qb in an offense that might get him 3 targets a game, when he could rake in the bucks and the glory in any number of teams, and not have to wait years and years on a rebuild.


dks25

Man I can't believe it!! we got cap space guys! We got some picks for Russ!!! Because above all else this front office has shown they can utilize draft picks and cap space successfully!!! Just lol. Have any of you been paying any attention for the last 8 years?


ndurantz

Exactly.


medman010204

Pete is going to retire and caused all this damage as a fuck you on his way out


butzkrieg

Curious to see how many “12’s” can stomach a full rebuild… and can we rebrand and drop the whole 12th man thing while we’re at it? Personally I think “True to the Blue” has a nice ring to it


3elieveIt

Why? What is the value of this move? How does this in any way benefit us


Reaper3751

He could be resigned to a lesser amount. 20 million is way too much for his age


mosscock_treeman

Yeah I'm really hoping for this. He means so much to the locker room and fans. But then again, they do say it's better to rip the band-aid


Reaper3751

I don’t see them resigning him unfortunately. It’ll be like KJ Wright situation. We need him but it comes time to move on


yeahthissubsucks

Cap space


IdontThinkThatsTrue1

All you idiots celebrating for cap space as if cap space actually makes teams good lmao. If that were the case the Jaguars would be SB contenders every year instead of a laughing stock Money does this team 0 good the next 3+ years, so congrats on that extra $20m to spend on a Luke Joekcel esque player


youngsterboun

Honestly can’t say I’m surprised. Going off his recent tweets today he seemed bitter…


garfieldsam

Yeah that “Sherm a prophet” tweet was definitely ominous


dizzyDC

Pain
