@AdamSchefter: Seahawks planning to release RB Leon Washington.

Leon Washington ‏@Leon_Washington
Seattle It's Been Awesome A Ride, Got Nothing Bad 2 Say About The Gr8 NW #12thMan StandUp!!! Like always... #LetsGetIt

JS & PC turned down pick to let Leon pick his destination.

@RossTuckerNFL: Leon Washington just told us on @SiriusXMNFL that Bucs tried to trade for him but Seahawks granted him his release

Not sure if anything is done, but I think he sees the writing on the wall and has heard the rumors of him being shopped.

Sucks...I love Leon.

 

[Throwdown]

It was fun Leon, I'll always remember that game vs San Diego where he won it for us.

 

[Missing_Clink]

If so it has been a great run here for Leon. Standup guy who had some HUGE plays. Best of luck to him

I liked him but... Harvin makes us better than Washington. Mad love for ya Leon.

Single handledly beat San Diego 2 years ago. That was a fun day. Thanks for the great memories Leon.

 

[lukerguy]

Traded for sure. Would never cut the #3 return man in the league.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Loved Leon. The same things that make the business awesome make it suck too. Just hope he goes to the AFC.

That tweet seems to seal it. For us saying nothing done - you don't have a player tweet that based upon assumptions. He was called in and told.......

I was at that game...it was crazy! I think Earl had a couple of picks that game as well.

Hope Leon gets a good gig elsewhere. One of my favorite hawks, hate too see him go.

 

[CrimsonWazzu]

Just reported on KJR that a "source" tells them that Leon has been released.

Bummer man. That's a bummer.

Anywhere but the NFC West, at least.

Class act.

 

[JKent82]

We'll see if he is indeed released, still holding hope they just let him know he was getting traded haha.

 

[HawkFan72]

Bummer. I really like Leon and his teammates do too.

Hope he gets a good gig at his next stop.

Thanks for being a class act and a ton of fun to watch in the return game.

 

[SeahawksFanForever]

Jaguars should try to pick up Leon Washington

 

[CHawks4L]

Love that we released before FA begins, classy move to allow him to pursue his next best venture.

 

[Hawkstorian]

He has roster bonus due -- so that's why he's going now.
