Seahawks TC Preview (Per Grant Gordon/NFL.com)

[glenwo2]

You know, I could also say (in response to RehireMora's quote) that making assumptions about Hawks players' desire to win more championships is now less than their desire to get paid just because they got a ring, is pretty f*cking stupid but I digress...

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That's not what I meant, and you know it.

You read what I said.

Stop twisting words, my friend.

NFL players don't play for free.

If they came into the League, they want to get paid as much as they can.

That is every player's PERSONAL goal.

And it's the same in other professional sports.

Dude, I was responding to his ridiculous comment, and actually agreeing with you.

Breathe in, brother. It's not just a sport, it's a business. Players want that bag, as they should.

Well I'm thoroughly embarrassed now.

Deleted the post. (Reason : I'm an idiot)

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nah, I should have responded directly to that other quote. I'm old and senile, esp. on Monday mornings

 

[glenwo2]

I think I'm the one who is being the "old and senile" one here if I couldn't recognize you were agreeing with me.

What's next? Yelling at clouds or something? sigh....

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Lawn, off of it.

BTW, sarcasm aside :

The Hawks DID have players who want $ over a ring (or at least acted like it with their antics) :

Remember Riq Woolen?

And how about DK "The Grass is always Greener" Metcalf?

I could be wrong/s. But DK wasn’t on the SB team, nor is he on the team now. I think everyone knew the type of guy he was, which was part of why he fell in the draft. He could be so much better.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep, DK was good but should have been a lot better. And I was a DK fan. Until I wasn't.

Wasn't part of his problem his hands?

If he had better hands, he'd be up there with the Top WRs.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah. Anyway, I'm long since over DK talk. He did some good things, some not so good. Glad he's gone and we got a 2nd rd pick for him. Solid return. AND we didn't have to pay him that ridiculous salary.

Much like Spoon, I'm over DK as well.

This season can't get here soon enough.

Oh man, I like it

I thought that article was the most fair of all the articles that I have read during the off season.

I am just as sick as anyone about hearing how great the Rams will be, but they did improve and we just (at best) maintained.

This off season showed that players don't want the ring anymore, they want the money. Being Super Bowl champs means nothing when recruiting, I think we picked up one decent player?

Well, we lost Riq (addition by subtraction), and Mafe and Walker. But we kept Derek Hall, who specifically cited the culture and the expectation of winning a ring as being higher priority than "whatever number people thought I might get". We got Damarcus Lawrence to put off retirement another year. And we got several lower profile free agents that schneider and macdonald think will improve the team.

Seattle Sports on Instagram: "“I love it here. This is an amazing organization. I love how they go about their business.” #Seahawks LB Derick Hall discussed why it was a priority for him to sign a contract extension to stay in Seattle."

Also, I bet D-Law's presence helped to recruit Dante Fowler here.
