And to think that we almost drafted him instead of Sebastian Janikowski...

“and underwent a physical this week”

Something tells me this didn’t go well because the Seahawks could of used him as major trade bait in the draft.
I’m sure Sean can still contribute in a backup capacity and score some touchdowns for the right team, but that wasn’t going to happen in Seattle. He’s always been soft when it came to blocking to help the team. Give that and his injuries, he needs to go to a team that won’t demand he block at times. Holgrem had enough of that crap.
He’s only effective in situations where you have a left side offensive line that can open up huge holes. Worked great in Seattle when we had both Walter Jones and Steve Hutchinson to create a hole you could drive a semi though. Steve’s signed with Minnesota and Sean lost his yellow brick road.

Thanks for the memories Sean and that magic 2005 season.

I never understood why an NFL team — especially in the salary cap era — would spend an exorbitant amount of money on a player at a position where careers are notoriously short.

Careers for starting running backs in the NFL are getting shorter and shorter. It's a rare guy who's going to have more than three or four good seasons at that position. It's the most physically punishing position in sports, and those who play it are increasingly becoming a disposable commodity.

While it's always tough to see great athletes go, guys like Jim Brown and Tiki Barber who get out while they can still walk probably have the right idea.

What a racket. 30 years old and you’re finished. Old. Geezer. No tread left on the tire.

Hope the Stillers get him - they need an alternative to Fast Willie.
