I am gonna go out on a limb and say he will be back for training camp. Stays healthy he will make the club. He gets hurt he will be droped faster than a new brides panties.

His per game played paychecks dwarf Sherman and Wilson.
I'm pretty sure next year is his last year on his rookie contract.
A rookie 4th round contract can't be that much money. With the talent and skill he's flashed, I can see them bringing him back, since it probably looks like Trufant is done as well. With Lane and Maxwell growing, we can afford to give Thurmond a spot one more time with the chance that he'll finally stay healthy and play up to his potential.

I'm guessing he must have re-aggravated his injury this week. He was a last minute scratch for SF and I think he had some participation in practice that week, but he was OUT in practices this week. Either that or Pete liked what he saw from Lane/Maxwell and thought he had a better idea for Thurmond's roster spot than a gimpy backup CB- even a talented one. That plus, I don't think there is a position on the team that you don't want to lose speed more than CB- so the hamstring was a pretty big deal.

I have a feeling he will be back next year. Let him go through the offseason and get fully healed and rested. Im pretty sure all the leg injuries has thrown his entire lower body off balance. If Pete lets him rehab and get to full health, he will compete at training camp next year, and if he makes a spot and plays the entire season, he's good to go. If he starts to play a season and gets injured again, cut ties. He is too good to just cut.

Why not keep him? High upside and rarely takes up a roster spot.
I'm not entirely against a "three strikes your out" rule with Thurmond. After all, I was about to get out the giant hook from Stage Left just 20 months ago or so with Okung, and now here he is headed for Hawaii.

Don't forget this is a guy that has been injured since college. That is the main reason we were able to draft him low. There is a point that teams just move on and unless he is a 100% going into the next season I suspect he will be cut.

Yes, he's been glass for us, but the 'suck it up and take some Advil' comment is lame. Sean Springs blew a hole in his hammy when he tried that. Let him get healthy during the off-season then let him loose without an injury settlement. The team made the right move. I really doubt he was begging to go on IR.

Too bad, he has talent but his body wants nothing to do with pro football. I'm sure he will be in camp next year though

How about the fact that he's taking up roster space? The man can't stay healthy, period. It's not a knock on him as a person, it's just plain facts, man.

In his one game he's played this year i'd say he's had more of an impact then the 50th, 51st, 52nd and 53rd guy on the roster have had on our season.

Look, JSeahawks, I feel ya man. He's got talent. Nobody here argues that. What I argue is that I don't care how talented you are. If you are unable to stay healthy, and you show a history of being unable to stay healthy, you are not worth much to me.
Sorry my man but that is one aspect of the NFL paradigm that I have - and always will - buy into, hook, line and sinker.
If Steve Largent couldn't stay healthy I would want him off the team too.

No need to apologize. He's my adopt-a-rookie from back in the day. I've sworn an oath to defend him. Plus, one day he'll be healthy and he'll either be great for the Seahawks, or we'll regret giving up on him.
I'd be more concerned if he was having the same injury over and over (See Greg Oden :34853_doh: )but its been just bad luck things. A torn up knee. A broken leg. Then a pulled/torn muscle in his first game back. As soon as his luck turns, he'll be great. If he kept hurting the same knee then i'd be 100% in agreement that we should give up on him. But, not yet.
