Seattle realized early on that Wilson was the answer at QB and would eventually need to be paid huge sums. They still continued to have large contracts on the books on both sides of the ball while Wilson was in his inexpensive years. Once he got expensive, they had to part with some of those larger contracts. But in the meantime, they won a couple of Super Bowls!
And yet despite their tremendous success on defense and two SB appearances they never handed out any of those "larger contracts" to a DT. They have had the #1 scoring defense for 5-6 years now, can you name their DT's?
Lastly, the impact at DT doesn’t have the limitations you think it has when the DT is leading the league in QB pressures for any position including DEs and 3-4 OLBs. I don’t believe Suh ever did that BTW.
List for me the games where Donald's play was the difference in a victory. List for me the number of game changing plays he's made as a Ram, then we will recount Quinn's a DE. 4 forced turnovers and 1 fumble recovery in 48 games is putrid. People overrate pressures if you present them absent of context. How many of those pressures resulted in incompletions or INT's?
You acknowledge Donald is HOF material. HOF performance transcends the normal rules of a positions value. The Pats have not traded one HOF player. It is NOT smart.
Richard Seymour might be a HOF player, he's certainly in the discussion. Randy Moss not a HOF player? Chandler Jones has the potential to be a HOF player if he continues on his present path.
So some misleading information there.
