Seahawks It is the Competition

When it comes to football the Seahawks maybe like no other it is about the competition.

Regardless of your position or how long you have been around the best player will play. This goes for how much the player makes as well. We can go back to when the Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson in 2012, and he beat out Matt Flynn for the starting quarterback. Flynn had signed a large free agent contract with the Seahawks; however, Wilson turned out to be the best quarterback of the two. In fact, it wasn’t long until Flynn moved on. Neither Seahawks nor Wilson cared that Flynn had signed the large contract Wilson became the starting quarterback and the rest is history.

We know that Russell Wilson has signed a new contract, and he looks to be the Seahawks quarterback for the next five year but who knows something could happen where another quarterback comes in to take the job. You may say Oh no but could happen not likely though; however, I am sure the competition being the second string quarter-back on the Seahawks is fierce like every position on the team. We will see how that ends.

Tony McDaniel was released by the Seahawks when training camp started on July 31. He started almost every game the last two seasons for the Seahawks at defensive tackle; however, the Seahawks had to make a move because of the salary cap, and I am sure there is very fierce competition to replace him as the starter. I am sure so much they were willing to release him.  He just signed a one year contract with Tampa Bay; I am sure he is going to work hard to win the starting position with them. Most likely the Bucs will probably not see a harder worker because that is the Seahawks way. Most players that move on from the Seahawks likely are going make a real difference on their new team.  I am sure every other team in the NFL look on to see who will be cut by the Seahawks. I would say that there is not any more respect than that unless you are talking about a team that has been to two Super Bowls the last two years, and were real close to being a third one in 2012. Remember the Seahawks nearly won the NFC championship game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Right now Kam Chancellor is holding out for more money, and no one right now knows when he will report to the Seahawks. Amazing though he is keeping an eye on the team text messaging a lot of his teammates; most players would say he is the soul of the Seahawks. I am sure they will come to some kind of agreement soon. I am sure the Seahawks feel they could or may have to live without him. I guess we will see. Since Russell Wilson signed his contract now Chancellor is the big story. I am sure football will become the story real soon as the exhibition season begins on Friday Aug 14 against the Denver Broncos.

I always enjoy seeing the new players that we have never heard of before make their action with the Seahawks and see who will make it or not. Also, we can wonder what veteran players will not return. At this point the receivers are one of the interesting stories coming into training camp. I am sure at least one if not two who were on the team last season most likely will not return. The group is pretty good so I am sure who doesn’t return will hook up with another team.

I look forward to stories lines coming from the first game on Friday. I am sure Chancellor’s name will be coming up a lot during the telecast. Anyway the 12^th man is looking forward to another amazing season for the Seahawks. I am sure the loss in the Super Bowl will be incentive enough to get them back again next February. Go Seahawks!
