Biggest draft bust in Seahawk history.

It just goes to show players need to earn their money, not have it handed to them.
“I didn’t think anybody would be interested,” he said
“I think earlier in my career I was real selfish and self-centered,” he said. “I was more about me than the Seahawks.”

I'm guessing you'll be able to rest easy.

That being said, however, if there was a guy that might get me to at least consider coming off that position, it would be Aaron Curry.

The problem was... it was a false market. It still is for that matter... but at least it's more in line than under the old CBA.
Applying the old CBA to myself... I'm a mechanical engineer with 32+ years experience in the aerospace industry.
I can't imagine a 22 y/o kid coming out of college with the same degree and his starting salary trumps mine by 10x.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
Back on topic... I'll predict that Curry won't make it past game 8 before getting cut, assuming that he even makes the Giants 53-man roster.

Otoh, it does for UFAs... and I agree that any UFA should get whatever the market will bear.
