Aloha! We are definitely heading into the slower part of the NFL off season, and the well of Seahawks related content online is drying up. I appreciate the feedback and the suggestions of players to scout, and will have a post up in the next couple days outlining some of those players and their potential fit in Seattle. Apologies again about the late post yesterday, I'm still learning the editorial interface. Thinking on it, it would have been way better to have had today's post be late, then I could have pretended it was a clever April Fools prank. Alas, no such luck for old O'Leary. Hope everyone has a great day!
