    It's worth giving him another year but if he doesn't produce at least near what he did with the Aints, or turns crybaby again, or gets injured, enough.

    They should have cut him. I don't think they want to admit they were wrong after paying a steep price to get him.

    He's a good receiver, but the offense was better without him. He's expensive too. His money would be better served getting help for the OL or CB. He doesn't have any more guaranteed money owed.

    Another Percy Harvin type move. Should have cut ties as soon as the injury gave them a reasonable out.

    But why bother investing in an OL to protect your franchise QB when you can have big name receivers!!1!

    The rest of the 31 teams in the league would love for Bevell to force feed another expensive toy.

    I have a hunch they want to cut him but can't, due to the probable injury settlement that would rape their butts. At best he'll start the season on the PUP list and be half the player he was, and at worst he will miss the season and essentially give Seattle a $9 million dead cap hit. He has zero trade value. It's a pretty fucked situation that will only hurt Seattle next season.
