Seahawks | Luke Kuechly, Mark Barron were on wish list

Wed, 02 May 2012 07:23:24 -0700

The Seattle Seahawks were in the hunt for a quick and explosive defender with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. In addition to LB Bruce Irvin, who the team selected No. 15 overall, Carolina Panthers LB Luke Kuechly and Tampa Bay Buccaneers SS Mark Barron were also on the team's wish list, according to general manager John Schneider. "Obviously we felt strongly about Barron, we felt strongly about Kuechly as well, but we really wanted to address our pass rush. And it just fell to a spot where we said, maybe if we could move back a little bit, we could still acquire (Irvin)," Schneider said.

Seahawks | Were uncertain they would land Bruce Irvin

Wed, 02 May 2012 07:09:31 -0700

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said he had doubts he would be able to land LB Bruce Irvin with the No. 15 overall pick in the NFL Draft because teams did not talk much about Irvin. "The only problem is, he was so quiet - people weren't talking about him. And quite honestly that made me uncomfortable," Schneider said.

Seahawks | GM would like to trade down in draft

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 08:59:45 -0700

Updating a previous item, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said he would like to trade back from the No. 25 overall pick in the NFL Draft, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "Personally, I'd like to move back," Schneider said. "I have confidence in our ability in those middle rounds to do some good stuff." The Seahawks are currently without a third-round draft pick, which Schneider acknowledged he isn't happy about, and a trade down could help add additional selections. However, Schneider admitted that trading down won't be easy. "It's actually easier to go up than it is to go back," Schneider said. "I think there's a number of teams that would like to go back right now. Not having a third-round pick, I'm not excited about that."

Seahawks | Interested in Ryan Mallett?

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 07:28:08 -0700

The Seattle Seahawks could be interested in Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett for a couple of reasons, according to Rob Rang, of CBSSports.com. Not only has the team scheduled a visit with Mallett, but general manager John Schneider also attended Mallett's Pro Day workout. This is believed to be the only Pro Day workout Schneider has attended so far this year. Secondly, the Seahawks could be in considerable need of a quarterback after the team attempted to re-sign impending free-agent QB Matt Hasselbeck.

Packers | Have spoken with McCloughan

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 07:43:12 -0700

Kevin Seifert, of ESPN.com, reports Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he has spoken with former San Francisco 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan recently "as a friend" but "not from a business standpoint." Technically, McCloughan remains an employee of the 49ers and would not be able to discuss job opportunities with any team. The Packers haven't yet filled the opening left behind by former director of football operations John Schneider, who left to become general manager of the Seattle Seahawks. Thompson said he wasn't certain whether the job will be filled. "We'll see," Thompson said. "It depends on how we make it through the spring. We're functioning pretty well right now."
