The Seahawks drafted LB Aaron Curry from Wake Forrest fourth overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. A lot of people around the league were saying that adding Curry with Tatupu and Leroy Hill would be one of the best LB corps in the league.

That idea ended Saturday night when the Seahawks removed the Franchise tag from LB Leroy Hill. The move saves Seattle $8 million in cap room.

This happened because Seattle and Hill could not come to a long-term contract agreement. They offered Hill a six year 36 million dollar contract but he declined it. So now Leroy Hill is a unrestricted free agent and can now sign with any team.

I don’t see Hill getting more than five million because he hasn’t made any pro-bowls and was arrested for marijuana in Atlanta Georgia almost a month ago.

The Seahawks can still try and sign him. I think Seahawks fans should give it a few weeks and the Seahawks and Hill will come to an agreement. Otherwise this is a huge lose for the Seahawks. Now you just have Tatupu and Curry. That’s a great duo but having Hill makes it even better.
