This is all conjecture based on the Fries deal falling through, but wonder if the #Seahawks potential sale down the line is playing a part in the team not going beyond three year contracts right now.

This is definitely a private equity-like move which means it’s very short-sighted and will backfire. Build a winning team and the value grows. Period. Fuss around with player contracts so there is less liability on the books while existing in purgatory or worse will hurt the team’s value.
Exactly. Profitability and profit % over anything else. It's just line items on a spreadsheet. You reduce as much input as possible to maximize the output. Does not matter if the product or operation gets worse. You fuck the profitability the shareholders come for your head
Schneider has typically preferred three year deals, but there have been a few examples in the past where they went up to four. Can't remember the last time they did that, however, and it may pre-date Paul Allen's passing.
That would probably explain some aspect of the Geno trade. They may not have been far off on the $ value but if he wanted 1 more year and/or more guarantees and Jody hardballed to clear the books for the next ownership regime.

Would it make the team worth 6.99 billion instead of 7 billion?
