I think the locker room cracks expanded when they traded for the divisive Duane Brown.
I’ve also always thought Pete Carroll is a good coach when a team is winning. When there are troubles, he lacks something.
I know some are worried if Seattle sneaks in as a Wild Card, but I am not... I think this is a very fragile team. Our victory over them week 15 proved that, IMO.
If you read between the lines of Bennett’s comments, I think the players know it too.

Sunday could be Seattle finale for Jimmy Graham, Michael Bennett and others
RENTON, Wash. -- Michael Bennett, the Seattle Seahawks' ninth-year defensive lineman, has been around long enough to know how it works in the NFL.
Getting younger and cheaper is always the name of the game.
"I think things are going to be different," he said recently when asked about the future of Seattle's defense beyond the 2017 season. "That's a part of the NFL. The NFL is a transitional sport and transitional teams. Every year, there's a new transition and new guys and new coaches and new staffs. It's about who can win and how fast they can win, and it's about 'can we get a guy cheaper than the guy in front of him?' This is bound to happen and everything has a shelf life, and us as players, we have shelf lives and our team together has a shelf life."
Several Seahawks might be nearing the end of their shelf life in Seattle as age, salary, injury, contract status and/or performance -- the usual suspects -- could work against their return to the team in 2018.
With the playoffs up in the air for Seattle, here's a look at nine players who could be playing their final game with the Seahawks in Sunday's regular-season finale -- or in the case of three injured stars on defense, might have already done so.
Pending unrestricted free agents
TE Jimmy Graham: When Graham scored a 3-yard touchdown on his lone catch in Seattle's win against Dallas last week, it was emblematic of his season. He has 10 touchdown receptions to rank in a tie for second among all players and first among tight ends. But his 475 yards through 15 games are well off his 2016 total of 923. That includes a net of 2 yards on two receptions during the Seahawks' past three games as Graham has all but disappeared from their offense save for his latest touchdown. He has also dropped seven passes, according to ESPN charting, which is tied for second most among all players. Graham's long-awaited emergence as a red zone threat will no doubt be enticing to the Seahawks. At the same time, he's 31 with a serious knee injury in his recent past and could potentially still command a contract that pays him close to the $10 million his previous deal averaged.
DT Sheldon Richardson: He's been much more impactful than his lone sack would suggest. Richardson has been strong against the run and has made two of the more significant defensive plays of Seattle's season -- an interception against the Rams in October and a forced fumble near the goal line against Philadelphia in December. The Seahawks probably wouldn't have given up a second-round pick to acquire Richardson in a trade right before the season if they didn't think they'd have a decent chance of re-signing him. How much north of, say, $10 million will they be willing to go? The Seahawks pulled the trigger on the Richardson trade after learning that rookie Malik McDowell would be sidelined following an ATV accident. It's unclear if McDowell will ever be able to play. His status will presumably affect Richardson's situation to some degree.
WR Paul Richardson: He's had a breakout season in the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, catching 44 passes for 703 yards and six touchdowns. The yardage and touchdown totals are more than what he accumulated over his first three seasons combined. Richardson has emerged as Seattle's No. 2 receiver this season behind Doug Baldwin and ahead of Tyler Lockett. Equally significant: he's only missed one game over the past two seasons, showing durability that should mitigate some of the concerns about the injuries that slowed him earlier in his career. In a recent Insider piece for ESPN.com
, Field Yates identified Richardson as a pending free agent who could command a bigger deal than most people assume.
Situations affected by injuries
CB Richard Sherman: He might have made this list even if he were healthy. After all, the Seahawks openly shopped Sherman last offseason but hung onto him when no favorable deal materialized. His injury situation adds to the uncertainty. Sherman suffered a ruptured Achilles in Week 10, ending what could have been another All-Pro season -- and possibly his distinguished Seahawks career. Sherman will be 30, entering the final year of his contract and coming off a serious injury. He's scheduled to count $13.2 million against the 2018 cap and would save Seattle $11 million if he were released or traded.
SS Kam Chancellor and DE Cliff Avril: They're in similar situations, having suffered neck injuries that could keep them from playing again. Coach Pete Carroll has been vague about the exact nature of their injuries but has said that both face uncertain football futures. Chancellor just signed an extension with Seattle last offseason and Avril is signed through 2018. Avril's age -- he turns 32 in April -- and contract situation would have made him a potential salary-cap casualty even if he hadn't injured his neck.
Potential cap casualties
DL Bennett: The operative word here is "potential." This one is by no means certain. Bennett is still a disruptive force. He ranks second on the team with 8.5 sacks and is again playing more than any other Seahawks defensive linemen -- by a wide margin -- despite dealing with injuries to his foot and more recently his knee. The Seahawks just gave him a contract extension last December and would incur a significant amount of dead money -- more than $5 million -- if they were to release him this offseason, leaving the net savings at a little more than $2 million (or more if they were to designate him a post-June 1 cut and thereby push some of the dead money to next year). But that might be enough given that Bennett will be 33 next season, an age when his skills could rapidly decline.
P Jon Ryan: This is another one that's possible but not a given. Ryan, 36, is the longest-tenured Seahawk and is two years into a four-year extension he signed in 2016. The Seahawks would eat $1.2 million in dead money by releasing him this offseason while saving a net $2 million.
CB Jeremy Lane: The Seahawks cutting Lane seems like a foregone conclusion. He's been benched twice this season and was traded to the Houston Texans only to return to Seattle because of a failed physical. His contract includes a $7.25 million cap charge for next season, which is obviously prohibitive for a backup cornerback.
I’ve also always thought Pete Carroll is a good coach when a team is winning. When there are troubles, he lacks something.
I know some are worried if Seattle sneaks in as a Wild Card, but I am not... I think this is a very fragile team. Our victory over them week 15 proved that, IMO.

Trumaine Johnson having fun and hopes a new contract with Rams is still possible

THOUSAND OAKS — Trumaine Johnson hopes this isn’t his only successful season with the Rams.
Johnson, the Rams’ top cornerback, understands his six-season tenure with the Rams could be in its twilight, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent when this season ends.
A few months ago, Johnson seemed resigned to departing from the only NFL team for which he has played, and hinted that the Rams no longer seemed to want him. Now, with the Rams enjoying what is by far the best season of Johnson’s career, he seems to have some optimism about staying around.
“I don’t think tend to think about it too much, but of course I think about it,” Johnson said after Friday’s practice at Cal Lutheran. “I know it will come. It usually comes after the season, so we’ll see. My focus is on this last game and making a run in the playoffs, and everything else will take care of itself.”
Either way, Johnson will be fine. He turns 28 on Monday and still should have some prime seasons left. Even if the Rams don’t re-sign Johnson, other teams will be happy to offer multi-year contracts to the lanky team captain who has 11 career interceptions and has been solid in coverage this season.
There’s something more, though. Johnson is a native of Stockton and has enjoyed having family nearby, and he feels something for the Rams, who drafted him in the third round out of Montana in 2012.
Johnson has yet to sign a second (negotiated) contract, though. His rookie deal expired after the 2016 season, and the Rams applied their franchise-player tag to him. They hoped to sign him to an extension then, but it didn’t happen, so Johnson was tagged for a second consecutive year.
The NFL doesn’t allow for a player to be tagged in three consecutive years, so this is it for Johnson, who is the Rams’ highest-paid player this season at more than $16.7 million, thanks to the franchise tag.
It had been a while since Johnson talked about his situation, and even then, he didn’t say much. During training camp, when it became clear that Johnson would start the season without a new contract, he politely answered questions but deflected most of them and said he was “just here to win games.”
Johnson almost seemed to be hurt, as he told reporters, “I believe the Rams are going in a different direction at the end of the season, and that’s out of my control.”
The saga took a twist at the end of training camp when teammates voted Johnson as one of their team captains for the first time in his career. At the time, Johnson’s “win games” mantra seemed like a throwaway line by a player who wanted to avoid questions. Then the Rams won the NFC West.
For a player who had never won more than eight games in a season, it felt like a jackpot.
“Honestly, I meant what I said,” Johnson said. “I came back to win games. We’ve had a tremendous year. Big ‘ups’ to my teammates. We all bought into what (Coach) Sean McVay was preaching, and from the beginning, it’s been working. The ultimate goal was to win games, and I’m a winner at heart.”
Johnson said he hasn’t changed much in his role as team captain — something he called “a big honor” — but Johnson has been asked to carry a big load in the secondary this season.
Kayvon Webster, the Rams’ other starting cornerback, missed two games in September with a shoulder injury, then tore an Achilles tendon three weeks ago in the game against Philadelphia.
Johnson already drew the assignment of the opponent’s top receiver, but now, with Webster out for the season, it’s imperative for Johnson to thrive. The pressure is on, particularly as the Rams prepare for the playoffs, but Johnson said he’s having more fun than ever before in his NFL career.
“Big time, man,” Johnson said. “When you’re winning games, the whole locker room is stress-free. Because this is our whole life. You put so much work in, just to go out there and play 60 minutes. Winning games is everything.”
The Rams appear to be set up for long-term success under McVay, but this coming offseason will include a lot of decisions regarding impending free agents, particularly in the secondary.
Johnson’s contract is up and Webster has one year remaining, but it’s not yet known whether he will be ready for the start of the season. Starting safety Lamarcus Joyner also is set to reach free agency and the Rams would like to bring him back, and of course, lineman Aaron Donald’s contract situation still looms.
It’s still possible the Rams could come back to Johnson, who won’t be eligible to sign with another team until March. Asked, directly, if he thought a new contract could be worked out with the Rams, Johnson smiled.
“I’d love to be around,” Johnson said. “But again, I understand the business side of it, so we’ll see. We’ll see in these next couple months.”
BARRON CONCERN
Linebacker Mark Barron, who missed last week’s game with an Achilles injury and won’t play in Sunday’s season finale against San Francisco, isn’t a sure thing to return for the playoffs, McVay said.
“He’s such a tough — physically and mentally — guy,” McVay said, “but when something like this creeps up, it definitely concerns you because you don’t really know. Is he going to be available? Is he not? It’s really all predicated on how he feels that day. This is something that you monitor day to day.”
Barron did not practice this week and is on the list of players who will sit out Sunday’s game. McVay said he values rest for some of his players over the possibility of claiming the No. 3 seed in the NFC bracket.
Quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley, receiver Cooper Kupp, offensive linemen Andrew Whitworth and John Sullivan, Donald, Barron and linebacker Alec Ogletree will not play, and McVay hinted that players such as offensive lineman Rodger Saffold and receivers Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins would receive minimal playing time.

The Rams made it official Friday, activating safety Cody Davis from injured reserve and placing outside linebacker Matt Longacre on injured reserve.Davis appeared in six games for the Rams, making 19 tackles, an interception and three pass breakups. He injured his quadriceps against the Jaguars, and the Rams placed him on injured reserve November 3 after the injury lingered.
Davis will work into the secondary in Los Angeles’ sub-packages and will resume his role as a core special teams player.“Excited and happy for all of the success that this team has gotten accomplished,” Davis said, via the team’s website. “But sitting on the sidelines, you’re just itching to get back out there, so it feels great to be out practicing with my teammates.”
Longacre has a back injury that kept him out of the Rams’ 27-23 victory over Tennessee on Sunday. He played in 14 games this season.The third-year pro made 23 tackles and 5.5 sacks, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble.
With the recent placements of defensive players on the Injured Reserve i.e. DB Marqui Christain, DB Kayvon Webster & Matt Lonagcre .We have been discussing Cody Davis possible return this past week see thread below:
