When does the FA compensation period end this season?

Good luck to Poona. Hated to see him go. I expect one year of Buffalo will be enough for him.

Ugh.

 

[IndyHawk]

Good..I didn't want him back
Last seasons play didn't warrant him and others deserving to be here.

in terms of fan support, I’ve never/can’t recall any player that didn’t enjoy playing in/for Seattle.

It never surprises me to see heart felt goodbyes from our guys.

Good luck Poona. You'll be back

It ended yesterday. Beginning today Tuesday May 2an, teams can sign remaining unrestricted free agents without impacting the compensatory pick formula.

 

[jammerhawk]

So it's unlikely the team will get any comp pick consideration on the Poona signing.

Bills are a 4-3 defense, so it's a good fit for him. Best of luck Big Guy!

I think we can term it a certainty ..... along with all other unrestricted free agents who went unsigned prior to May 2nd.

 

[jammerhawk]

The only reason why I said it was unlikely is when the deal was actually made between Ford and the Bills.

Very harsh. And while I like Poona, I agree with your message.

We can “like” him all day but our run defense was horrid. That doesn’t mean you cut the entire defense but, I’m more than fine with the direction we are going.
