Seattle is still getting the short end of the stick in this player transaction war with Minnesota.

It sucks to lose Hutch, but no way we pay him a guaranteed 49 mil..

Shoulda franchised him.. :shake:

They paid a guard like a left tackle. That was just stupid. However, the numbers don't appear to add up on this Burleson deal.

It's just the way the Seahawks framed the contract.. from the article..

In reality, Burleson's contract will be a four-year deal worth $14.5 million over four years. The seven-year, $49 million offer was identical to the one the Vikings gave Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson to lure him away from the Seahawks.
