Right. Understood fellas. Just with how the Hawks roll, I'm just thinking they are moving on and wouldn't clamor for compensation and permission already granted. That's what I meant by the "keep the dough." I don't know what Marshawn is thinking other than seeing a pair of cleats hung up in a photo. But, the Hawks probably just said keep the dough without any stipulation and fine moving on.
As a fan, I'd like them to get something in return if Marshawn wants to unretire elsewhere (like with Oakland), but somehow I think things are just settled between the two parties and the Beastmode era is officially over in Seattle no matter what Marshawn might want to do.
