I think Bbobby's complaint is valid. The reason the team was unable to tell him someone in management leaked the story 3 days prior to him being cut. I imagine he is disappointed he is not coming back, the dis is how he heard. I don't know but I think if Pete or John, or even Jodi Allen had phone to apologize for the leak we wouldn't have seen this tweet. As for Russell who I like every bit as much as Bobby; the negotiations with Denver may have taken as much as two weeks. I am quite confident that Russ knew as soon as Seattle was getting close to a deal. In conclusion apologizing for something that may have been out of your control, is not a sign of weakness as much as it is a greatly deserved sign of respect. Victoria Chris

It is very hard to believe, just as you stated Kenneth, that there were not discussions between Bobby and the seahawks regarding a restructured contract. Even up here in Calgary I knew Bobby was set to make $20M this year and that the seahawks could save $16.1M by releasing him. If Bobby had of agreed to say $12M for 2 years, maybe they do not release him. Pride is a strange animal. I would suggest that a number that the seahawks suggested to Bobby was viewed by Bobby as dissing him. Thus his tweet response. I LOVE Bobby and was concerned that this marriage would end this way. No one benefits and we must always remember there are usually 3 sides to every story.
