It doesn't feel right that the cool new trend is to be unhappy in Seattle. I know this isn't much in a vacuum, but the overall feel just doesn't seem right. There isn't a team in the league that would have picked up that option. He's whining for the sake of whining. Does it feel a bit like the first bricks are starting to fall off the castle, or am I reading way too much into this?
Reading way too much into it.
Irvin clearly isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, but I think even he had to know the money was not going to be there when KJ Wright got an extension and he didn't.
Where Irvin really screwed up was saying he's going to Atlanta no matter what. Now the Falcons can low ball the hell out of him and no other team will bother to try to negotiate sooo Bruce better hope he has one hell of a season, or his mouth just cost himself millions.
Ya I don't agree there's some anti hawk trend in the lockerroom. A couple isolated incidents that will be dealt with soon enough.
It's just that they should be loving us.
We've focused our whole gameplan around Marshawn, given him space to be himself, paid him quite well, and embraced his personality. There shouldn't be any anti-Hawk sentiment there.
Just last year we paid Michael Bennett a very fair contract. He just got to play in two Super Bowls. We move him around to let him make the most of his matchups. He should be loving us. Yet we get trade demands.
We took Bruce Irvin higher than anybody else ever dreamed, which paid him more money. We hung by him through his suspension and idiocy. He played in two Super Bowls with us. We groomed him into an every down player when he wasn't one before. He should be incredibly thankful for what we've done for him. Yet he comes out with this.
Something just doesn't feel right. Who is next?
