Treating your legendary players like $hiiit is clearly what is needed to build a championship team, clearly. If you don't do it, you can't win. That's why the Seahawks did what they did. :eek:


Leaks are unfortunate but it wasn't on purpose for gods sake. The fake outrage some of you have to conjure up is incredibly unnecessary

Hawks have been great to Bobby over the years

I'm not outraged, I'm laughing. :lol:

We're laughing too....at the inane negativity ;)

It's how the NFL is. Teams want to control information and how it's perceived. They're making the decision and timing on when a player leaves, not the player. It's not new and it never looks good. Wagner knew he wasn't going to be paid $16.6M by the Seahawks for 2022. From the team's perspective, to quote a British phrase, 'it was a good day to bury bad news'.

Why did they call Zach Miller before they cut him?

They sure could have handled it better but I think a lot of players would say they did him right by releasing him early and giving him a chance to choose his next team before free agency even started. Class move but they should have let him know.

what an over exaggeration. all players who are cut feel spurned and every team has done it at least once to someone. free agents could care less what happened to another player as long as they get their cash. should they have called them, yes, does it matter, no.

It's almost as if everybody thinks that the players don't know this is a business.

So many of you missing the point here. Players here things like this and it makes them change their mind about coming here. You say it's not a big deal, but around this time of year it is. Why do you think Watson didn't even want to talk to Seattle? He went everywhere else to talk BUT Seattle. This team is well under the cap and still can't get players to come here. It's always patchwork when it comes to the way this team is being built. The way they treated Bobby is f**ked up. This man represents himself when it comes to negotiating so they should have let him know what was happening. IT'S CALLED RESPECT. This is going to come back on this team one way or another. You don't do things like this to good people. Karma will take effect
