I share that bitterness

Tight end Marshall Lang and cornerback Mike Reid were released to make room on the practice squad.

IIRC Rice was more than willing to wear a different number. Some nobody exec somehow conned two HOF receivers.

That would be "Trader Bob" Whitsitt.

I guess Jerry will have to change his allegiance now and start rooting for the Hawks. Or maybe he'll pull a Sherm and root for both the Hawks and Niners.

I think he should forever be known as “Traitor Bob”. That guy was a disaster.

I wasn't a Seahawks fan yet, what did he do?

Bob Whittsit was the GM of the Seahawks about 20 years ago.
He disrespectfully got Steve Largent to let Jerry Rice use his retired number when he came to play for the Seahawks .

What a chach

That was after he destroyed the Sonics, then went to Portland and almost did the same thing to the Blazers, Paul was new to Football ownership and Traitor Bob convinced him he could GM the Seahawks. He almost made us more embarrassed then when Behring owned us, Holmgren finally had enough of his meddling and gave Paul the ultimatum him or me, thats when Holmgren became GM/Coach.
