According to NFL Radio Patrick Kerney has had surgery again to clear up bone chips. They said he will be ready come Training Camp, but will miss mini-camp.

Surgery was on his shoulder. Here is a link to the article by Eric Williams:

Seattle Times isn't expecting him to be ready and in fact saying he may be placed on the PUP meaning he will have to miss at least 6-weeks (Our bye isn't until week 7).

www.rotoworld.com has more about the PUP talk.

I think we cut Kerney when it becomes financially beneficial.

I doubt they would have him miss 6 weeks unless he was going to miss a majority of the weeks due to the injury and not due to the PUP being put on him.

How can a surgery to remove bone chips make him miss such a long time?

If this really turns out to be the case I will not be very happy...

We clearly had no pass rush with Kerneys absence.

Kerney is getting up there in age, and it's hard to recover from these things the older you get, that being said we might be getting closer to dropping him, which would free up more cap space, especially if he is gonna miss half the damn season.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

If you told me two months ago they would release JP, I would have tracked you down and slapped the sh*t out of you!

I do doubt it though, because we don't have anyone on our roster that even comes close to Kerneys presence.

When we traded JP we still had Lofa and Hill, not to mention the draft coming up.

If dropping Kerney means getting Hill back, go for it. If you have enough talent at Linebacker you don't need amazing pass rushers at defensive end. They can be guys like Jackson and Tapp.

But seriously, if it allows Hill to be a Seahawk, I'm all for it.

I have to agree, I would rather the young energetic 26 year old Leroy Hill who can rush the passer as a LB than the aging 32 year old Kerney who's banged up. I just don't think he's getting back to the 15 sacks he had in 07'.

Damn old age! Always making a mess of good players. But seriously this is the reason to go with youth on that side of the ball. LoJack had better be improving in this off season, he was far from impressive last year.

He injured himself fucking Lisa Gangle...

Lucky man....

Dropping Kerney would cost more than keeping him.

Exactly Bob I think that's why he will be wearing a 'Hawk jersey come end of 10.

i agree with #one we really dont have anyone that can compare to Kerney.
