Sure would be nice if TJACK had been signed already.

He's just testing the market...waiting for that big money

Let the Rj Archer era begin.

According to Ian Rappaport. A woman named Tammy Meyerson passed away. She was Jimmy Graham's mentor, hence his absence.

Russell Wilson is attending the funeral on behalf of the Seahawks' players.

Yeah I was wondering why Graham was gone too, Wilson and Graham will have great chemistry during this year. The media needs to get more of the story out there, and quit assuming it's about the contract. In the same thing, Avril and Bennett also missed OTAs, and Bennett's situation is more of a contract issue.

Thought he already had OTAs.......in Hawaii. :stirthepot:

Wilson's reason was picked up by PFT, so i doubt we'll see too much contract assumptions now.

Here is the obituary for anyone interested

I am really getting frustrated with the Bennett situation. Not attending a voluntary workout because you have to attend to somethign important isn't really much of an issue but what is Michael thinking? He signed a new contract last year and he didn't really improve much during last season, at least not nearly enough to warrant a significantly better contract.

So we won't have these articles for the Seahawks

They're voluntary and will be skipped by plenty of vets not named Michael Bennett.

BJ Daniels: backup OTF.

The good thing is that it gives Archer and Daniels a chance to get some reps in, we need to figure out the backup for Russell.

I like the show of solidarity for Graham.

I'm getting more and more excited to see Wilson throw to Graham this year.

Sing it with me now: "hold out..... hold out.... hold out."

You're absolutely right.
There's more to the realities of life than a practicing for the fans to watch.
Jimmy's life just took another hit, and with Russell having lost his Dad a few Years back, who better to show support and be there for his new teammate.
Besides, if some fans are concerned that these two needed the time together to get some practice reps, and get some mindset familiarity with one another?, Russ & Jimmy undoubtedly got a lot of that done in Hawaii last Month.
I have no such concern, nor respect for Bennett.
Avril?, who knows the reason for his absence?

Per Rob Rang:

Speculation is likely to start that Wilson's absence is contract related, though O'Neil specifically noted in his report that this was not the case. There have been multiple reports that Wilson and the Seahawks are "millions apart" in contract negotiations, though SeahawkFootball.com has been told that the sides are, in fact, closer to an extension than some believe.
