It's crazy how many guys are demanding to be traded or released this year. Would love to see a solid Safety on this team to go with Mcdougald.
It's really cool to see this development. Players having a higher standard for who they are willing to play for and becoming more empowered to do something about it. Football careers are so short, I can't blame players who are good enough to assert their leverage and call their shots not wanting to be stuck in bad situations on bad teams. This trend has paid dividends for the Hawks and may continue to do so.
It's all good now because Seattle is a team that many players want to play for. If that ever changes, say when Pete calls it quits, then we might be on the flip side of things. I wouldn't like watching good players force their way to another team.
It’s not good for anybody. This league is starting to resemble the NBA. The inmates are starting to run the Asylum and it’s going to ruin the competitive nature of the game.
"Inmates"
The NBA is awesome. The players have never been as talented as they are now and you have multiple star ladened teams that can compete for a championship - Milwaukee, Philly, Boston, Lakers, Clippers, Golden State, Portland, Denver,Utah.
The Dolphins, Jags and Jets aren't bad because guys want out. Guys want out because those teams are bad. I'll never fault someone, athlete or otherwise, for wanting to leave a job or employer that they aren't happy with.
