With the Seattle Seahawks’ season having come to a close D.J. Fluker Color Rush Jersey , the team can now start signing players to future contracts. In short, a future contract is how a team can claim (or retain) a player’s rights in the time between the end of the season and the beginning of the new league year. Once the new league year begins in March, their salary and roster spot will count towards Seattle’s 90-man roster and salary cap. Until then, the Seahawks simply have their rights. (You can find a great, extended primer on future contracts here.)The nine players Seattle signed to future contracts on Tuesday were nine of the 10 players who finished the season on the team’s practice squad: Keenan Reynolds (WR), Caleb Scott (WR), Simeon Thomas (CB), Marcus Henry (iOL), Marwin Evans (S), Tyrone Swoopes (TE), Justin Currie (LB), Jeremy Boykins (CB) and Jordan Roos (iOL). The one player who finished the season on the Seahawks’ practice squad and did not sign a future contract was quarterback Alex McGough. Seattle’s seventh round selection a year ago, McGough competed with Austin Davis for the backup quarterback job in August—a competition that ended when the Seahawks acquired Brett Hundley. McGough is now a free agent, though he could still sign a future contract with Seattle.As noted by The Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta, among others Barkevious Mingo Color Rush Jersey , McGough may look to sign with a team in one of the upstart football leagues, in an effort to gain live game experience. Since these leagues won’t run concurrently with the NFL, McGough could theoretically play football in the spring before landing in camp with the Seahawks (or any other NFL team). The Atlanta Falcons had aspirations of being playoff contenders in 2018, but it all went horribly wrong for Dan Quinn’s team. Atlanta is sitting at 5-9 and planning for next season, and while Quinn appears to be safe as head coach, the same cannot be said for offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian or defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel.NFL Network is reporting there’s a “strong possibility” that both Sarkisian and Manuel, the latter a former Seattle Seahawks player and member of Pete Carroll’s coaching staff, could be fired. Manuel has admittedly had to deal with several injuries to key players, but they were 22nd in DVOA last year and 32nd this year. Quinn in particular has yet to field an above-average defense in four seasons as Falcons head coach.Sarkisian was much-maligned despite producing the #9 ranked offense in DVOA in 2017, but red-zone woes felled the Falcons in several games, including the playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last year. In 2018, they sit 10th in DVOA, but 26th in rushing, and they failed to score more than 20 points in their fatal five-game losing streak.If Manuel goes, it’s assumed that Quinn will assume larger control of the defense Ed Dickson Color Rush Jersey , but as for Sarkisian’s replacement? It could be ex-Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell.Bevell was fired by the Seahawks after the 2017 season, having been Seattle’s OC since 2011. He was interviewed earlier in the year for the vacant QB coach position in Atlanta, but obviously didn’t get the job, and was not picked up by any NFL team over the offseason.Quinn and Bevell were the coordinators for Seattle’s two Super Bowl trips, so the reuniting may still yet happen. Next season is a pivotal one for Quinn, as his tenure with Atlanta is surely defined by collapses. His first year saw him go from 6-1 to 8-8 and no playoffs. The second year... 28-3 happened. This year they squandered 4th quarter leads against the Eagles, Bengals, and Saints to get out of the gate 1-3, and they’ve spent the entire season at or below .500 for the first time since 2013.It’s certainly something that Quinn, the much-celebrated DC when he was in Seattle, is the one under pressure while Kris Richard, fired along with Bevell and oft-criticized as Quinn’s replacement, has become a popular name as a potential head coach after helping transform the Dallas Cowboys defense to a top-10 DVOA ranking.
