Your post implies that Seattle knew in advance another team was going to sign Smith to their active roster so Seattle preempted that move and signed him to their active roster... correct?Hawkstorian":33npv4dd said:Sounds like one of those cases where a team was trying to bring him to their active roster, so Seahawks had to make a decision to promote him or lose him.

Certainly, Seattle doesn't get notified by the other team and then has the option to sign him to their roster.
If so, I've never heard of it going down that way.
I've been under the impression that the other team contacts the player with a contract offer and if he accepts, the team get notified that they just lost a player from their practice squad.
Makes sense... thanks.hawkfan68":1w7vxvn6 said:onanygivensunday":1w7vxvn6 said:Your post implies that Seattle knew in advance another team was going to sign Smith to their active roster so Seattle preempted that move and signed him to their active roster... correct?Hawkstorian":1w7vxvn6 said:Sounds like one of those cases where a team was trying to bring him to their active roster, so Seahawks had to make a decision to promote him or lose him.

It is conceivable that Smith approached the Seahawks and told them that he has received an offer from another team. As a result, in order to keep him, they made the decision to promote him to the active roster.
