    We don't need any of them tackles. Guards and centers only. ;)

    LOL
    Now the tackles on the roster now are: Davenport, Henderson, Rankin, and Lamm. Deshaun might not make it out of practice.

    These are just names in tweets to me

    Anyone have any background to tell us whether we should be excited about these guys

    Good thing we traded a franchise LT for exercising his free speech

    Too bad we can’t trade him again. I make that trade any and every day of the week. He was clearly disgruntled here and had to go! Someone will be a camp casualty roster addition. You get through this year and address it (LT) again next if need be.

    A few things.

    1. It was not for "exercising his free speech" it was for being a b**** and not showing up for work.

    2. He's not really a "franchise LT" quality player anymore if you haven't been paying attention. He's over the hill and close to the end, which is why he wouldn't show up for work without a new contract...and now that's Seattle's problem.

    3. That was absolute traderape. It's a damn shame we can't do that to Seattle again.

    Actually I don't think Duane said anything publicly until after he was traded

    IMO they should have kept him until we found a suitable replacement. He returned from holding out. Protecting Watson is more important than everyone being friends

    They probably would have kept him if he had showed up for work and they didn't get an absolute steal of an offer for him.

    Two agreements within a week

    I was against trading him until I seen the deal

    Yeah I’m sure he looked at the millions of dollars he’s still making and the idea of living in one of the most beautifal cities in the country and cried

    Has any of the draft picks been introduced yet? Seems like we’re one of a few teams who haven’t done so.
