I don't think what happened to Earl is lost on Bobby. Earl not regretting his gesture towards Pete might have something to do with the current Wagner situation and Earl thinking Pete is doing the same thing to Wagner that was done to him. What does Bobby do if the season starts and not contract, does he hold out?
Also, trade value, the Seahawks got nothing for Earl if I remember right? Had he not been injured Earl might have brought in some value. So if trading Wagner is in the cards, sooner would be better than later for the Seahawks, and if I'm Bobby, I don't play without a new contract given what happened to Earl.
Earl did get a nice pay check in Baltimore, but I wonder if the injury prevented him from making more?
