Deon Grant Cut, Tapp Re-Signed

[Fenom]

Seahawks have cut safety Deon Grant and defensive end Darryl Tapp signed his restricted free agent qualifying offer.

Cutting Grant could change what the Seahawks do in the 1st/2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up Eric Berry or Taylor Mays.

They've also signed former Packer WR Ruvell Martin.

He was part of that amazing Rams WR core last season... :roll:

 

[Hawk096]

You know he was! LOL. Went to same school as Seahawks best 1st round selection EVER Lamar King!!! LOL.

Yeah I think cuttin Grant could be a very teltale sign of what the #6 pick will be!

Smells like Berry.

Or Mays at 40.... I don't think Grant was the best Hawk to play the game, but there are definitely guys on the roster that should've been cut way before him.

100% agree.

Problem with the other players on the team... they weren't due $17 mill. over the next three-years.

I just see it as creating another hole that didn't really need to be created - especially in an uncapped year. Couldn't we have at least gotten a 7th rounder for him? :haha:

No one would have traded anything for him just because of the HUGE salary owed to him. It is looking like Berry is gonna be the guy at 6. As much as Mays' stock has dropped, i still dont see him falling to us at 40. He will be a late 1st round pick that someone will be willing to take the risk on because of his freakish athletic ability.

 

[SeahawkWag]

what is Mr Gangel's contract amount still owed?

Hence the laughing smiley...

i dont know if berry will last to the 6th pick i give it like a 50/50, and mays is next best safety and hes not good enough for 6 or 14th pick

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

And Tapp's an Eagle...

 

[Hawk096]

Yup we get Chris Clemons and Eagles 4th-round pick. Will touch on this more on the blog after dinner.

 

[SeahawkWag]

New guy had more sacks than Tapp last season
+ 4th round pick
sounds like this 4th would be packaged to SD for some 28 yr old 3rd string QB that is going to make 5 mil doing what Wallace did (pssst nothing)

Anyone heard what the draft pick may be or if it is even this year?

 

[SeahawkWag]

4th round have not heard what year yet

 

[Striker]

yeah was a bit slow on the mark saw it posted after I clicked post. Thnx for update.

Saw it was for this draft year 2010, and it is the Jets 4th rounder which the Eagles traded to us.
