So... no Beast Mode this season?
It looks that way.So... no Beast Mode this season?
I think he could be a good change of pace back for Ten I See
Mmm 1 year $4M. Seems like a slight overpay (think an A+ would be 2-3M) but he's coming off his best season where he ran behind a bottom 10 OL in the league (not that there's any improvement with Seattle, although maybe for once an OL draft pick in Lewis will pan out... he was one of the best run blocks in College).
He'll be 30... but he doesn't have a lot of carries to his name... but a # of injuries in his career. Still... it's a back with experience who rushed for 1,000 last year... Hopefully covers us until Penny gets back.
Edit: Obvious to me Freeman wants more money... probably in the 3 year range at $6-7M per. We just don't need to spend the money there.
I didn't want Freeman cause of the money, injuries and I think his YPC went down when he did play.
Freeman is better than Hyde...no question imo... YPC...the OL kinda retreated in talent, but Free doesn't look as quick to the hole either so there is something to your point.
Not bad pick up for $4 mil for one season, still has some wiggle, but he's not worth any more than that.
You and me both!All I want is 1 RB to stay healthy for a full season.
Um WTF with Beastmode?
Was he asking for to much?

Hyde's $4M contract has just $750K in guaranteed money, (signing bonus). If by the end of preseason the Seahawks RB injury situation looks better, or a rookie looks good, (or of course Hyde looks disappointing), then Hyde is toast. If Hyde makes the Week 1 roster then his $1.5M salary will become guaranteed. After that he can earn up to $500K for the year in game day roster bonuses and there are unlikely to be earned incentives which could add another $1.25M. There's a fair chance Hyde will be cut before Week 1 and then re-signed for Week 2, (especially if the Seahawks only want him for 8-10 games). That would negate the salary guarantee.
He will fit right inHyde is a good runner. He has historically been bad in pass protection.
