I remember being real impressed with Hill his first season when he had a bunch of sacks. It looks like he hasn't had many since then. I don't know if he would fit as an OLB. Do we have a spot for him on the inside?

4-3 LB?

.....first in. What do I win?

a sticker that says "not funny or original"?

Hill is an excellent linebacker, very good at rushing the passer, I do not want to lose him and hope the Seahawks find a way to keep him. The franchise number for a LB is something like 8 mil? I think ruskell is gambling that we can re sign him at less than the franchise number..

He did have a little trouble in the offseason, the cops found him asleep at the wheel of his 70's era pontiac in the middle of an intersection.. :doh!: Ruskell hates stuff like that.

Anyway, he's a great LB and I hope we find a way to re-sign him..

Details of Leroy Hill's arrest
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Linebacker Leroy Hill was arrested for marijuana possession early on Saturday morning in the metro Atlanta area. Sergeant Dwayne Taylor of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said that several 9-1-1 calls were made by citizens who observed a vehicle with the driver asleep at the intersection.

"One of the deputies found Mr. Leroy Hill passed out behind the wheel," Taylor said. "He smelled marijuana coming from Mr. Hill's car."

Hill was the only one in the car, which was a 1975 Buick Electra.

The deputy asked to search Hill's car, Hill consented to a search. The deputy found two bags of marijuana in a bookbag on the passenger seat. Hill was arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession because the amount is less than an ounce.

He also was charged with a traffic violation and an equipment violation because a brakelight was out.
Check out his ride.. wtf?

Thanks, Joe. Frankly, I'm hoping....if he fits our new scheme, that Pioli has him on a plane to KC tomorrow. If he's as good as you say, we could sure use him. Just make sure he doesn't end up in Denver, Oakland, or San Diego....okay?

:p

As for that 70's Pontiac....maybe it's nostalgia, from his childhood....that ride looks like a lot of the ones from my neighborhood back in the day....

;)

I have not read the replies. Did anyone mention this guy has had an arrest and wants $36 mil?

Yep I think it's a pretty sweet hooptie myself.

Hill is a rush LB who forgot how to rush after his rookie season. He'd fit in well here.

Joe Seahawk 04-26-2009 10:47 PM

The Seahawks are apparently trying to get him signed.. I hope we do.

Update: Seahawks negotiations with Leroy Hill
Posted by Danny O'Neil
I'll have to be brief right now so I can finish up my writing for Monday's print edition of the newspaper, but wanted to stop by and say president Tim Ruskell said the team intends to continue negotiating with linebacker Hill on Sunday night and Monday morning.

Todd France -- Leroy Hill's agent -- told the Associated Press that negotiations are ongoing.

Ruskell said the franchise tag was withdrawn because it had become an impediment to reaching a long-term deal. He was asked if Hill was upset at the team's decision to withdraw the franchise tag. Ruskell referred the question to coach Jim Mora, who said he spoke with Hill on Sunday morning. He said that Hill might have been a little shaken up, but still expressed a desire to get a deal done with Seattle.

That's going to have to happen sooner rather than later since he is now an unrestricted free agent.

i think he has a good chance of coming to kc since we should be singing a couple more linebackers now anyway. but i think the only thing that might keep him from signing is wether or not he fits pioli/haley's mold for a player AKA is he a bill parcells kinda guy.

MoreLemonPledge 04-27-2009 04:44 AM

Since nobody's actually confirmed it, yes, Seattle is a 4-3 team. Hill played OLB.

Aw man... NObody fits a GD 3-4.

Is this some kind of fairy tale defense or what!?! Does it even exist??

We are doomed.
