LaGarret Blount Released

Tin IndianForum VeteranOPBaggage central but we sure could use a bruising back. I say pick him up for the stretch run and cut him loose after the season. Too much trouble long term but for the short run.......

MikeHonchoSupporterAt the very least to save Miller some hits
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
djphinfanSupporterbelicek might grab him...wait don't they have Orleans Darkwa as well?
brandon27SupporterI don't particularly want him, but that being said I'd gladly replace Daniel Thomas with him. But that cat has 9 lives, and blount has some baggage, so its unlikely.

I think the Giants snagged Darkwa from us.

DisgustipateSupporterIf Hickey will sign off on the behind the scenes issues, sure.
Stringer BellSupporterI think its tough to bring in a RB at this point in the season, but I think Blount is a decent player.
“Come on, shake your body baby, do that conga!”
RoninFin4SupporterIf nothing else, make him a short-yardage/goal line back to help the redzone woes.

byroanAdministratorAs much as I want Daniel Thomas gone, I want nothing to do with a guy who leaves the sideline because he isn't getting carries.
Alex44New MemberOur backfield is built so oddly. If we sign Blount who is the odd man out? D-Thomas? Our pass protection specialist and decent pass catcher? Can we rely on Miller, a rookie and a guy who doesn't know the system?
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.
Tin IndianForum VeteranHe is a good hard runner. Tons of personality problems going back to college, but for 6 games and the postseason and us needing what he brings, in a heartbeat. I would not sign up for any more than that though.

djphinfanSupporterhow bout we just make a late season mega splash and pry beastmode out of his bad situation, and then allow a beautiful combo of Miller/Lynch..

Daniel Thomas and pass protection don't go well together. None of Miami's backs are good at it, but if you have to pick a best one, it's Lamar Miller when he gets his assignment right. Damien Williams has done more receiving than Thomas. Williams needs to be involved more, and I think LaMichael James would end up trumping both Williams and Thomas as a receiver if he can get on the field.

No, there are no trades made after the deadline.

I don't know about that Ro, D-Will has shown some serious pass catching prowess, before the bills game I was touting him as having really natural hands, and having the ability to make a move as soon as he secured the pass, then he pulled off that explosive one handed grab.
Tin IndianForum VeteranPretty much why they call it a "deadline".

Daniel Thomas in my opinion is better in pass protection if for no other reason than what you said....he understands his assignments where Miller doesn't. If its third and long I'd prefer DT in the game over Miller.

GalantForum VeteranIn the NFL, unlike the NBA, trades can be made after the deadline. In fact, they can be made at any time. However, IIRC, there are restrictions involved. I believe players traded after the deadline are not eligible for postseason play. I think there are also certain rules about them having to be around for a certain amount of time after.
EDIT: Doing some reading on this and the 'trades' that can be made after the deadline are waivers. So Seahawks would have to release him to waivers and then he could be 'traded' to whichever team wants to pick up him according to normal waivers rules.
"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)
xphinfanxForum VeteranMaybe you have to put in a claim atm.
That's why they play the games!:yes:

That's baseball.
Ohio FanaticSupporterI doubt he makes it to us in waivers anyway. But to DJ's point, let's put some faith in D Williams. Blount will be a backup and discontent here too.
