Grant Wistrom Cut

by Shrug on Mar 8, 2007 3:39 PM PST in Seahawks News Comment 11 comments

As MFAN just broke in the diary section, Seahawks.net reports that Grant Wistrom has been cut by the Seahawks.

With the signing of free agent Patrick Kerney to the ever-shifting defensive line, this move was semi-expected. Bittersweet, maybe, but not unexpected.

Possibly more details to come.

can't say we didn't see it coming

to be blunt Grant wasn't very good in 2006. He just didn't make the impact the FO thought he could make.

With all that said, I truly respect Grant, he left it all on the field and I think his leadership was key in 2005 and probably even in 2006. You have to admire someone that plays the way Grant does. I hope he catches on somewhere and can help another team win..as long as that team doesn't beat the Hawks.

Josh Brown is better than you.

I am a little suprised

MLB 2K7 gets really really really frustrating

it seems to me

the only reason it makes sense to cut him is if either,
1) They are going to sign several more players
or
2) Some kinda trade is in the works that they need more cap room for

It would seem that they had enough cap room to get adequate players to fill holes without this move, so I dunno, I guess we'll see

sounds like Deion Grant

is on the way.

This would be a very solid signing IMO. Obviously we should wait till it's offical (see Dielman, Kris).

The only bad news is that this would most likely mean the end of the Hammer-as the article points out. That doesn't surprise me though, Sando said yesterday that the Hawks havent persued Hamlin at all.

Hopefully this gets done!

Josh Brown is better than you.

n/s

the guy that runs this blog doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box.

"As I've written in a previous blog, Grant is pretty much the Anti-Hamlin. He's good in coverage, a leader and decent tackler. More to come."

Ahh..Hamlin was pretty good in coverage. Ahh...Hamlin was a leader and I always thought was a solid tackler.

Josh Brown is better than you.

Hamlin played out of position

and was a bad tackler (form wise)

Hamlin

also got a lot of personal fouls called that were completely unnecessary

really?

you might be right, I only got to watch about 9 or 10 games so I missed a lot of things. I thought Hamlin was always in pretty decent position. I always thought it was Babs missing the tackles..but I could be wrong.

I do like Grant better though.

Josh Brown is better than you.

Oh Babs was worse

But there is times were Hamlin goes for the big hit and he hits high and the runner bounces off and gets a extra 2-3 yards.

I guess Hamlin can be in good position its just Boulware played better with someone more disciplined. And that could be communication errors between them or one playing out of position.
