Well, 40 minutes ago the free agency period started. Agents and FO staff are frantically working the phone all over the country.
The kids are in bed, I've got my sweats on, and a tall cold one on my old scratched AOL cd coaster. I'll have one eye on the boards and the other on the ESPN ticker, and I'll be back to post if there's any news.
GO SEAHAWKS!!!
Seahawks Tenders Contracts To All Five Restricted Free Agents
ReplyDeleteFrom Seahawks.com:
KIRKLAND - The Seattle Seahawks have tendered contracts to all five of the team’s restricted free agents, it was announced by the club Tuesday.
By tendering offers to the club’s restricted free agents-players who have completed their third accrued season and contracts are about to expire-the Seahawks will be given draft compensation should one of the players sign with another club. (Free Agency Q&A)
The Seahawks have the right to match any offer on a restricted free agent they have tendered. If the team elects not to match an offer, the club that signs the player has to give up a draft pick from the round the player was originally drafted.
CB Kris Richard (3rd), S Terreal Bierria (4th), DT Rocky Bernard (5th), TE Ryan Hannam (5th), and S Marquand Manuel (6th) were tendered offers that would return a draft choice from the round they were originally selected.
yeh, im gonna be up ALL night (already 1:50am here)...gotta make sure im awake for an oddjob early tomorrow...i got an update on my recent surgery...my rehab is going 'fantastic'...weird, considering i hate rehabbing anything
ReplyDeleteanyways, im eyeing sites...just in case, I imagine Seattle will re-sign Lucas within the next couple days...depending on if he really wants to test the market, if not, I imagine the Seahawks frantically signing him in the next 24 hours
Yeah, it just occoured to me there was NO NEWS on signing ANY of our unrestricted FA's.
ReplyDeleteWhich means other teams are calling Lucas's and Oke's agents right now. It's open season!
I have a strategy...
ReplyDeletekeep moving the unrestricted free agents we have to the west...that way it won't technically be March 2nd, giving us more time
send them to Japan in the next 2 minutes, and we'll be fine
:P
