  • It's March. He could recovery fully, tear it again, and then recover fully again before the season starts.

  • I'm happy with it if this is the reason we were able to get him to Seattle.

    He should recover fine and in plenty of time. Seattle reaps the benefits of other teams getting scared.

  • I had a bad tear of the rotator cuff and biceps tendon. The recovery time is about six weeks, and now it's my better shoulder. There are a few excellent shoulder surgeons in Seattle.

  • I think he will be ready for the season. That's just speculation, but since we gave him a physical I am sure they knew about it and still wanted to bring him in. That pretty much says they aren't too worried, so I'm not either.

  • I had rotator cuff surgery last year at 50 years old and was back to work with no restrictions in two weeks. This doesn't even help to explain the discounted price IMO. It's so common and as long as the surgery isn't screwed up, it is very easy to come back 100% in no time.

    However, every person heals differently. Your experience doesn't translate to Bennett.

    That being said, I expect he will be fine. And actually, it does explain the discount more than anything else.

    No kidding. Rice took some pretty big shots last year and stayed in tact. He also looked thicker compared to in the past.

    Hopefully they allow Carp and Clem to be rebuilt to the max before the see the field again. Seems like the prudent thing to do given the depth they have.

    Given that Bennett is an elite athlete, I'd bet on the guy's shoulder healing faster than that of the average person.

    I also had a torn rotator cuff (nearly competely torn suprasinits tendon) and a busted up shoulder capsule last year. Mine healed pretty quick with prolotherapy (PRP or stem cell therapy is used in the same manner with a lot of athletes now) and press/pull up programming quickly.

    This. I would take it to mean that team doctors and experts have evaluated it and were certain they could repair it surgically, rehab it, and have him ready to play this summer. Nothing else makes sense. Nobody gets signed without a physical.

  • Here is my only issue. - why not structure a deal that kicks in a five year contract if either certain things are accomplished or he is in the roster next year. Now if he plays great this year we are bidding against everyone else.

    I guess I just don't think that is the only reason it was a one year deal. I think that is way more because of Kam, Sherman erc needing new contracts....

    It works out best for both sides, he can sign a fat contract next year and I think our hope is that we can let him go next year and develop our own interior pass rusher (Scruggs?) much cheaper.

    No need to be a jerk to him, but the original poster did kind of knee-jerk (no-pun-intended). Yes he's the main source of our inside pass rush, that's why we paid him so much money. He'll be fine.

    We should still invest in our D-Line since we have some cap space.

    I completely agree which is what I meant with the rotator cuff not being the only reason why it was a one year deal. It may have been why he signed the one-year deal with us and nobody else offered more but from a Seahawks perspecitve there were more reasons

  • I'm recovering from a slap tear of my labrum, torn rotator cuff and torn superspinatus ligament from last december. My recovery timeline is 12-18 months. I go to physical therapy twice a week. He should be able to come back from the torn rotator cuff much faster having medical attention everyday.

  • Think of the 1 year deal as an insurance policy to hold on to him. If it turns out that he wasn't worth keeping on the roster, we wouldn't be losing very much gauranteed money. But it does raise another question. If the front office wasn't able to strike a deal with Bennett for a multi year deal after this upcoming season, could the FO place a franchise tag on him?

    In addition, I expect the backlash to destroy any NFC west team from competing for the division. In an unprecedented move the Chargers will be awarded the NFC West playoff berth after no NFC west team manages to achieve more than 2 wins.
