ET III ( in his own words)

I've seen this perspective posted on Seahawksdraftblog before, but what Earl fails to see is that trades don't magically happen because you want them to, and Seattle is not going to give away an All Pro safety for peanuts. The fact that no team has offered a fair trade for a player of his caliber and stature should be even more disrespectful to him than not getting an extension from Seattle. Yet he's pointing the finger directly at the Seahawks.

I respect that he's looking out for himself and wants security, but he's seemingly completely blind to this aspect of what's really going on.

It's not just the trade part, it's the extension part as well.

That's why trades with players like Earl in the last year of their deal are so hard to pull off, for both sides. You have to find a team that's not only willing to give up a high pick, but sign Earl to an extension................and if his heels are dug in on Eric Berry type money, then it's no wonder there aren't teams interested.

That's the rub;

- Hawks aren't willing to part with Earl for less than 1st or 2nd rounder
- No team is willing to give that up for a one year player who is demanding a monster extension
- Earl isn't willing to temper and become more realistic with his extension demands

Thus, here we are. No where.
