There are two equally important sides to this hypothetical situation of bringing back an all-time great Seahawk. Hypothetical, unless Paul Allen dumps a few billion into a wayback machine. Maybe Elon Musk would be interested. For now, we’ll assume it’s hypothetical.
First we need to evaluate the talent of the former player. Obvious, sure. You aren’t going to go to all this trouble to get a guy who only made the practice squad. So we’re looking exclusively at the best Seahawk ever at his respective position.
Second is how well that player meets the needs of the 2017 squad.
