UPDATED: AVRIL SIGNS With SEATTLE!!!

[SeahawksFanForever]

that was super fast lol faster than percy harvin

 

[Hasselbeck]

If we get Avril, where do we find the money to get a starting DT or OLB?

I imagine they'd try to get a cheap vet or go to the draft.

 

[Largent80]

F Yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Is that real? What just happened?

 

[SDHawk]

If he signs then bye bye Clem.

at least the very least Clem and Obo are gone but we still need a starting DT and OLB

 

[Hasselbeck]

RT @AlbertBreer: Cliff Avril has agreed to terms with Seattle, per source.

 

[The Yugoslavian]

So he is simply flying here to take a physical and sign the deal? They already agreed to terms prior?

 

[TLD0550]

Softy just reported they agreed to terms with him

LOL I started typing this and was going to put in the tweet and someone came in my office so had to post it and came back a few minutes later to update and we were on page 2..........wow

Contract will be very interesting. Wonder if we still want to negotiate with Abraham and see what happens with Clemons

What else do we need that we don't get in the draft? Are we getting a kicker with our second round pick?

 

[Largent80]

What did he do?...agree on the flight to Seattle?

 

[Wiseguy]

NFL Total Access just reported it also.

Lions took Jason Jones from us and we took Chris Avril from them

 

[w00t]

i really hope we didn't break the bank. The CLink will def help him.

 

[HawkFan72]

Avril has had almost zero interest so far.

Schneider always likes to let the initial frenzy wear off and then pounce on the guys who had their feeling hurt (Jason Jones last year).

Hopefully he scooped up another bargain.

 

[Sandpoint Hawk]

Yes!!!!! Wooooooo!

 

[Seahawksfan425]

Don't know much about him but I don't see how it makes us worse. Also I don't think we should cut clem, that'd be a bad move IMO since he has done such a great job in bringing pressure.

More moves to follows. Trading Flynn and releasing Obo is equivalent to Harvin's cap hit for 2013 ($4.9 million).

After adding Avril (which I imagine won't be a huge contract), there's still plenty of cap space left.

 

[3Girls'HawkDad]

That's a fast plane!

 

[kidhawk]

I don't think Clemons is going anywhere. They got Harvin for less than $5 million cap room this year, they can work something similar here. We still have around $10 million even with Obamanu on the team and I'm sure he's a goner. We have the space for this deal without a problem.
