Why did Seattle cut Dwight Freeney?

Rock Strongo

My mind spits with an enormous kickback.

It struck me as strange as well. I was hoping some of the Hoop Hawks fans could fill us in

Why did Carroll call for a fake field goal? "Because it would have been great if it had worked?" Bullshit. You can say that about any play with a low chance of success.

My only question is who is going to pick up Freeney?

I asked the same question on our message board... With Jordan having upside and maybe possibly Avril coming back, I think that's probably why, I"m guessing on the Avril thing, but Jordan does look good... But yeah, Freeney was performing, I wouldn't be shocked if someone picks him up quickly for this year...

Pete is a gambling man... great coach overall, but sometimes you're sitting there like ... WTF ? That fake field goal even if it worked was a dumb call, we had an entire half of football left, just no reason to gamble there...

Because Seattle's FO is retarded. This is the same team that desperately needed some veteran O-Line presence, so they signed Jahri Evans (who was 33 at the time) only to cut him weeks later and he's played great for the Packers.

Seattle's FO is like the dumbest smart person in the room. They generally make decent moves but often just a 'huh?' moment where everyone just throws their hands up in the air and decides to go rub one out as it's the only logical reaction.

The even bigger head scratcher was Jordan was a healthy scratch on Sunday. So cutting Freeney didn't make any sense.

Ok, here goes.
Why didn't some other team sign him before Seattle did?

I have no idea, but from Pete's radio clip, he hinted around at it being a money/cap space type move.
