Earl's an idiot. Never seen money change somebody so much. He was a good, quite, humble dude when he came into the league. Then his ego just exploded. I used to look up to him as a kid. Not anymore. Dude, the Seahawks made you the highest paid safety in the league when they signed you to a second contract and it was well deserved. Then they decided they didn't want to sign you to a third contract. What's the problem? It's just business. It's not personal. You play out the rest of your contract like a grown man, thank them for believing in you in the first place and all the good times you shared together, and move on to your next team with grace and class. That's how men behave. It's not Pete Carroll's fault you broke your leg twice. It's football. Shit happens. The way he went out was unbelievably disrespectful and childish. Sad to watch him tarnish his legacy as a Seahawk like that.

They should have traded him. That was as bad a look for the team as anything that Earl did himself.
