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 12th
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!
