Seahawk "Franchised" LB LeRoy Hill Released--Paging Pioli....
Drafting Curry, they must have decided the guy they slapped with a franchise tag....isn't worth the cash they were gonna have to pay him.
Stock-piling LBs is a priority for 3-4 teams....especially one so weak at LB, like us. THOUGHTS on this guy??? ![]() JoeSeahawk???? ![]() http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4101934 Seattle pulls Hill's franchise tag -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Mike Sando ESPN.com RENTON, Wash. -- The Seahawks withdrew the franchise designation from linebacker Leroy Hill after drafting Wake Forest's Aaron Curry with the fourth overall choice. The move, confirmed by the team, makes Hill a free agent. The one-year, $8.3 million franchise offer no longer exists. Hill, a third-round choice in 2005, had refused to sign the offer while attempting to negotiate a lucrative long-term deal. He skipped voluntary minicamp practices recently. Curry is expected to get at least $25 million guaranteed in his new contract. Saturday, Seahawks president and general manager Tim Ruskell said he was still in negotiations for a long-term deal with Hill. Coach Jim Mora marveled after selecting Curry that the team's defense now has, along with Lofa Tatupu, "three good, young linebackers who are all impact-type players and it is an exciting group. It will be fun to watch them grow together." |

He's not a fit for the 3-4 at all unless he play's Johnson's spot.

Other than botching their most important pick, they had a ****ing hell of a draft, and picked up Denver's 1 next year.

With Curry going to Seattle, I can't help but think of Brian Bosworth.
This smells so much like Bosworth.

This is probably their way of saying, we still want you....but we don't think you are worth that Franchise tender we are forced to offer you--but you haven't signed yet. Heh! I can't imagine this will endear the Seahawks to Hill.... ![]()

They'll end up signing Curry for more than they would have signed Hill for, and it wouldn't be prudent to sign both to big contracts.
