Hey Okung

Maybe you should have just stayed home.

“It’s just an instance where you have two guys who are very emotional and very competitive who really want what’s best for this team,” Okung said, refusing to divulge what he had planned to say to his teammates. “It’s not a big issue. At the end of the day we all want the same thing: We want to win games.”

Now you aren't in the playoffs and can watch your old team win it all.

Seeing how important having a decent QB can be. Seimian sucks.

Yeah, he could have stayed with the Hawks and heard a top CB blow up about the offense and save on moving expenses.

Still don't understand the need to run down former Seahawks players, much less ones that helped us win our first bowl. Okung was a total pro when with us and cast no dispersion on his way out the door. Was he injured more than we liked? Sure, but so what?

Especially knowing that he is still actively involved in the Seattle area community.

Last Friday (Nov. 18), Okung was joined by the founder of Code.org, Hadi Partovi, where they worked side by side with students for an hour of coding while sharing their experiences and passion for education.

Both Okung and Partovi said they came from backgrounds that lacked in opportunity and resources.

“Imagine you’re in this neighborhood, you come from a single-parent family and everything around you is chaos. Imagine you’re stuck there, that you can’t muster up enough will or determination to get out of there,” Okung said.

Plus, he is currently working on a startup company in Seattle area with the help of other players.

Is Okung going to bring us a high comp pick?

Largent80 · Dec 21, 2016

He basically played a one year deal for 5 mil. We could have easily matched that. I'm not ragging on the guy, just pointing out that his move cost him a spot in the playoffs (more money) and maybe another ring, but excuse me for having my opinion.

We offered him more.

Okung fancies himself smarter than he is. He desperately tried to win one for the players in the NFL is first and foremost a business debate but failed. He represented himself and didn't serve his best interests. Sure, his overall contract number looks high but Denver isn't bound to it. Can cut bait with him or renegotiate this off-season.

Maybe he blamed Bevell for not winning a second ring so he wanted to leave? :stirthepot: :stirthepot: :stirthepot:
