... pin it on the player. If the team doesn't, I pin it on the team. Then you should follow your own sensible rule and stopping pinning all the blame on Seahawk managment. Prior to Hutch, no team had ever lost a transition player that they didn't want to lose. Until then, any reasonable person would expect the transition tag to allow the team to hold on to any player then wanted to ...
..., or you can be effective. I wish the Seahawks had been more effective when it came to retaining their best free agent of the 2006 offseason. The consolation of Hutch's slump in Minnesota (i.e. being "right") is petty and shallow in comparison. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mike Kohary mike at kohary dot com http://www.kohary.com...
..., but if Seahawk management ever wants to know where to look to figure out how the situation could have been avoided, the mirror would be a good place to start. That's my point. Blaming Hutch is just falling into the "greedy player" mentality, which is very common among fans and even understandable, but it lacks any sort of perspective regarding the nature of the business and what works ...
...No one is saying he owed the Seahawks something. I'm arguing with the 100%% Seahawks fault that you said. The Seahawks expected a rule to be followed as it was always followed. If it had, Hutch would still be a Seahawk. That leaves at least some of the blame elsewhere. Sure, place some on the Vikings if it makes you feel better, but leave Hutchinson out of it. And get it through your...

... (whom TMQ references often) give them a taste of the poision. They used a trick to break up the greatest Seahawk offensive line ever. If Mike and others don't hold any ill-will toward Hutch, that's fine, but surely the Vikings don't deserve their sympathy. The Vikings clearly exploited a loophole that went against the intention of the rule - they are scum. I don't disagree with you ...
