His bad back and lofty salary finally led to the end of his career with his hometown team. Clinton says Marcus Trufant has always been a class act, and he hopes that he continues his career in the same fashion that he played here in Seattle. NOT in the NFC West.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger and 12th man season ticket holder Brett Bivens says even if Peyton Manning is ready to go and play at the level he was at in the 2010 season he is better suited for a team that is a quarterback away from being championship contenders. One that has a window that will close in the next couple years. A team that comes to mind for him is the San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle Seahawks blogger and NWSB managing editor Q tells us the attorney for free agent linebacker Leroy Hill says charges of marijuana possession in Atlanta have been dropped.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger “Q” tells us this weekend LeRoy Hill and his girlfriend were arrested for marijuana possession…again. The 29-year-old Hill has now been arrested three times over the past three years, once for another marijuana charge and again for domestic violence. He was suspended one game and two additional game checks in 2010, and is now surely facing a lengthier ban.

Seattle Seahawks blogger and Senior Editor Q tells us its time for the Seattle Seahawks to cut Raheem Brock. 12 Games. 12 Tackles. 1 Sack. That’s it. Nothing else. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant was snubbed this week for the NFC special teams player of the week award. They instead gave it to Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals. Big deal.
