That's why they released him. It's unfortunate all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If he does have a career I would like to see it with the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I know you gotta live life and all but if i was a GM I’d have to have something in the contract about motorcycle/ATV stuff man. I know it doesn’t happen often but your career can be done so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Should have taken his "likes to ride ATVs without a helmet" tidbit on his draft profile more seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, we should mandate all players cannot be in cars, ever, to avoid the chance of that. This, like Kindle, was a freak accident and is really just unfortunate more than anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 2nd rounder on Sheldon Richardson, nothing to show for it 2nd rounder on Malik, nothing to show for it That's gonna sting for awhile - 2nd rounders are considered the best value in drafting in terms of the high quality players available and the reasonable pay checks they require. Bennett leaving just adds more salt to the wound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett leaving just adds more salt to the wound Yeah, I (and others) give the Seahawks a lot of credit/latitude on the draft but its looking more and more like they just got abnormally lucky one year (Wilson, Sherman draft, Avril, Bennett for cheap in FA) than FO superiority. Can't forget blowing first round picks on Harvin and Graham (Who was ok but not worth a first, let alone him + a good center). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't forget blowing first round picks on Harvin and Graham (Who was ok but not worth a first, let alone him + a good center). I think the problem is: coming out of college, Pete Carroll knew who to draft and who not to draft. It wasn't just abnormally lucky one year, but a three year stretch. But the further away he got from the college game as time passed, the less success he had until now the only reliable thing about the Seahawks draft are the steady stream of questionable picks and frequent trade downs out of the first round. I could be wrong as Pete Carroll is not the Seahawks GM, but it just seems too much of a coincidence that the Seahawks get very good at drafting for just as long as it takes to get a turnover of college talent.

Can't forget blowing first round picks on Harvin and Graham (Who was ok but not worth a first, let alone him + a good center). How can you say they got lucky in one year, but everything you cited happened over multiple years? Their drafts from 2010 - 2012 netted them: Russell Okung, Earl Thomas, Golden Tate, Kam Chancellor (2010) KJ Wright, Byron Maxwell, Richard Sherman and Malcolm Smith (2011) Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, Jeremy Lane and JR Sweezy (2012) Then in free agency they signed Cliff Avril in 2013 and Michael Bennett that year as well, but the nucleus was already there. That's not getting lucky in one year. That's building your team through the draft and nailing two key Free Agents, as well as hitting on UDFA's like Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin. Post-2012 their drafts became horrible and they started missing on FA's and selling draft picks for rentals (Harvin, Graham, and Sheldon Richardson).
