Chris Clemons released

[Highlordb]

Totally expected...now lets hope this means we bring in Allen!

 

[ErikG803]

One of the first guys to really start turning the tide over here. Good dude, good player, but also a good call by the FO if he's not willing to take a sizable pay cut

 

[ManBunts]

Does anyone else feel like Gus Bradley is watching us and just salivating? He got Red, and I heard they interviewed Thurmond, wouldn't be surprised if Clemons gets a look from them. Gonna miss that guy.

This one hurts a little more than I expected it too. Love Clem, saw it coming just don't like seeing it go down like that. Good luck in the future CC, you're a beast!

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

Really liked Clemons here. Sad to think that maybe if he hadn't gotten himself ripped up on Washington's terrible dirt turf, things would have turned out a little differently, both in 2012 and even this year and beyond. Hope he finds some modicum of success elsewhere, or comes back with a restructure after things have cooled down a bit.

Not really the biggest surprise, though. And if it's any indication, we're in for another big defensive line signing around the corner.

 

[EverydayImRusselin]

Seahawks East just got a little bit better. Sad to see him go though.

 

[Largent80]

Wow, Jared Allen must be coming here is my first thought.

I really liked Clemons too, and figured he might be safe after we got Bennett at such a good price and he wasn't released immediately. I'm guessing this is more about bringing in someone else than it is about him restructuring. I was honestly looking forward to another season of Avril/Bennett/Clemons causing havoc in the backfield of opposing offenses. Hopefully whomever we bring in to replace him will play up to the standard we have become used to recently.

 

[AbsolutNET]

Damn, I was hoping we'd find a way to keep him around. The dude brought it every snap. Best wishes, Chris, thanks for the work!

 

[ErikG803]

now give some of that money to Tate, please ((

 

[Sac]

I'm guessing Demarcus Ware is about to be a Seahawk.

 

[Xarbx425]

Bummer town, Thanks for the memories Clem!

Now lets go get Allen!

 

[GCrow]

I'm guessing Demarcus Ware is about to be a Seahawk.

Everyone is - understandably - saying Allen. But this feels like a real PCJS thing to go down.

 

[ErikG803]

The thing is, I think a PCJS thing would be to all of a sudden re-sign Tate and do nothing about DE in terms of FA. Maybe they love Mawoya

I am hopeful this means Allen or Ware are about to come here though. But I hope Tate comes along with them

 

[Throwdown]

Ware would be insane with both Bennett and Avril, lawwwd

 

[Highlordb]

Ware would be totally crazy...steal him from Denver makes it even better!

 

[Blitzer88]

Well this stinks, thanks for everything you did for the Hawks clem.

 

[davidonmi]

Thanks for your efforts Clem, you'll be remembered
Looks like Allen will be a seahawk

 

[uncle fester]

Hate it. Clem found new life here and gave 100% every snap. A true football player in every sense. Favorite memory was in the RRR last season where he verbally chastised Christine Michael for alluding to smoking weed "WE DON'T SMOKE DOPE!". Gonna miss him.

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Wow, Jared Allen must be coming here is my first thought.

We had a hair north of 3 million dollars in cap space after the Bennett and McCoy extensions, I don't think this indicates anything on Allen.. more or less this cut came because Bennett was retained.

Zach Miller watch is next
