lane is obviously made out of glass. too fragile for football. and they’ve been trying to trade him since TC, no way the hawks keep his salary so he’s gonna get cut
He's a bit of a cancer and keeping him now puts them over the 53 limit so someone has to go. They have to clear 2m more off the books and drop a player somewhere. Who else would you drop off the 53?Lanes Salary is 100% guaranteed for 2017 so cutting him saves them nothing. Best to keep him because all you do is lose a player but still pay his full 100% salary. The Hawks are over the cap they don't have "until" next off season to fix it. It has to be fixed very quickly as in ASAP. They can be fined by the NFL if it takes to long i do believe.
yup yup! after i posted this i realized it’s guaranteed. thanks! This dude continues to piss me off.Lanes Salary is 100% guaranteed for 2017 so cutting him saves them nothing.

At this point, with the season nearly half done, why do it before it's needed?Ok so it seems the Hawks are 500,000 under the cap right now, they are going to want to free up around 1.5mill more some how.

Tracking...but what I'm saying is why not just wait until the injury happens to worry about making room for a replacement when we are 7 games in?Injuries. When a player is injured and placed on IR his salary is still paid. Now they have to bring in someone so they need the wiggle room. $500,000 isn't even close to enough wiggle room. Right now 8 million of the cap is on the IR ( 5 mill of that is Avril )

Just heard on 710 that Ifedi is giving up 76 so Brown can keep his number. Ifedi switches to 65. Could be his best play of the year.
Clayton nailed it. Called Battle getting cut this morning on 710. I still say he is a boring radio host, but he has good access."The Seahawks are waiving tackle Isaiah Battle. The team had to make a subtraction to its 53-man roster after cornerback Jeremy Lane failed his physical with Houston and reverted back to Seattle."
Good call.Clayton nailed it. Called Battle getting cut this morning on 710. I still say he is a boring radio host, but he has good access.

Good report. Thanks.Brown is a above average run blocker and a great ( not elite ) Pass blocker. Having both those grades together make him a probowl quality LT. I have seen many people/talking heads rate him as a High quality blocker in both Run and pass. Some have him rated 1 step lower on his run blocking over his pass blocking but lets be honest right here and now. He is a MASSIVE and i mean MASSIVE upgrade over Rees. Just go watch todays NFL Networks replay of the Texans @ Seahawks game and focus on Rees ( the LT ). He alone caused many and i mean MANY Run plays to go for ZERO or MINUS yards. All by his little self he did this. NFL Network showed a highlight reel of Brown and the reel they showed was Rees Odhiambo's last game against the Texans, showing how easy this moves automatically makes the Hawks better. That was kind of mean by NFL net but it was the cold hard truth. You Suck Rees and it's that plain and simple.
MJD said " he is only one piece of 5 he wont help much " i beg to differ. When you watch the play you see the LT's man in the backfield 8 times out of 10 on running OR passing plays. With Brown that should drop to around 1 or maybe 2 at the worst out of 10. Then Britt is a solid above average C, Aboushi is a below average RG but better than Glowinski at RG. Ifedi is bad at RT but he has improved from the start of the season and i think the Hawks just got to wait for Joeckel to come back and they should have a middle of the pack Oline. Maybe try Tobin at RT? Hey thats not a bad Idea no wait Pocic? he has been practicing there. Yeah they should stick Pocic in there and i think he upgrades the play over Ifedi. Then Move Ifedi Back to Guard where he played a little better than Aboushi is ( not much )
also in place of Lane is a 3rd round pick. Lane is definitely not a 3rd round worthy.
