fauria would be a GREAT add. he's old, so he's not a long term answer, but he'd be very good for a couple year, and TE isn't exactly a hard spot to fill.

the seahawks were IDIOTS for not franchising hutchinson. absolutely f'ing morons. In an attempt to save 700k, they'll either have to pay more to keep him or they'll have to let him go.

the cards did the right thing. they need an RB, that's the guy to get. now they can pick up another WR in the 1st round

What's interesting about all this is that with that addition and the Saints possibly adding Brees, who the hell is gonna draft who now? I have no idea how the draft is going to shake out. I think the Cards had better think O Line, otherwise signing James will have been worthless.

There have been reports that the Saints only offered a short term deal to Brees and planned on using him to groom their future QB. .. like Kurt Warner did with Eli.

No. He's not gone. He was transition tagged, that means that the Seahawks can match the offer. They just have to decide if they want to spend that much in the first year of the deal.

Except that if you franchise a guard they use the top tackle contracts to determine the salary. Obviously, the Seahawks didn't want to pay 2 of the top 5 salaries in the league on their O-line.

the difference was under 700k between the transition and franchise tags for an OG according to an nfl.com article about the subject.
