Lions DE Cliff Avril is on a flight to Seattle to take his first visit with the Seahawks.

Get right back on the plane and go home, Avril.

No. Thank. You.

 

[Treefiddy]

Don't let him leave. Get it done

 

[JSeahawks]

He's going to be expensive. But we've got the room. Let's get it done!

 

[SeahawksFanForever]

This is getting done if the price is right but there is no way Hawks are going to overpay.

 

[JesterHawk]

All depends on the price. Gassing up the planes is cheap.

 

[Blitzer88]

This could be interesting. If he signs with us I really hope it is a team friendly deal, I like him, but I really think he benefited from some very explosive DT's.

 

[Zebulon Dak]

Get right back on the plane and go home, Avril.

No. Thank. You.

Don't let him leave. Get it done

Well at least we're all on the same page.

 

[Sandpoint Hawk]

Lets get him!

 

[The Yugoslavian]

His price is definitely going to be lower than expected because lack of interest this far. Maybe that's why JS decided to pounce?

 

[pinksheets]

Has seemed like a guy whose success has been a result of the interior pressure brought by the Lions DTs and interior pressure is our biggest lacking probably.

Hopefully his market is proving to not be what he thought it'd be, because I really don't think he's worth what it was speculated he'd get.

Cliff Avril has agreed to terms with Seattle, per source.

Well that was fast.

 

[w00t]

I hope he does a Jason Jones deal like last year and take a 1 year deal.

 

[SeahawksFanForever]

I can't think of any other system where Avril can excel as much as he can excel here in our system. My guess is Seahawks are not going to him more than $7-8 mill

 

[SuperHawks]

If he signs then bye bye Clem.

 

[SDHawk]

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

 

[Hasselbeck]

I hope he's not another Ray Edwards.. playing next to Suh and Fairley would help any DE out.
