Cliff Avril: Everybody wants to play for Seahawks

hawknation2015 · Jun 27, 2015

"Everybody wants to be in Seattle. Nobody wants to leave Seattle," Avril said. "Everybody wants to be there because we have something good going.

"But at the same time, I understand why guys feel like they may have outplayed a contract. In our league, the team's the only one's that's not liable for the rest of the contract really. When they want to get rid of you, they get rid of you.

"As a player, whenever you feel like you should be trying to cash in, why not go for it? But I don't think that affects anything chemistry-wise in our locker room or anything like that."

But that's totally opposite of the current narrative. Begone knave!

People want to stay with a team that has a high chance of winning if possible. No unexpected statements here.

Finally! Something positive! Keep it coming!

Didn't he and Bennett say that their friends talk about wanting to be here?

Not that I've ever been in an NFL locker room, but I think Avril is probably 100% correct about team chemistry. Those guys all know it's a business. I wouldn't hate a co-worker for having the guts to ask for a raise.

I wouldn't hate one either. I would be disappointed, for sure, but I wouldn't tell him my feelings about it.

I have no sympathy for this argument. Its the same for any nearly any other employee....we work at the pleasure of management and can be let go at any time for any legit business reason.
