Wahle is done...that hurts my feelings. I really thought we would have him for a few years (starting last year) until we could get some young guys in there. But you know what, we already have a couple of young guys in there that are developing quickly (especially for their pick/value...see Wrotto, Vallos) so I give kudos to those individuals and the FO for getting ready and getting them in there. I only hope that CAR didn't release Lucas for the same (now obvious) reason they did Wahle. the trufant issue is only alarming (to me) in that it happened outside of camp itself and not whilst training but throwing the ball around??? That sounds a little fishy to me (pun intended). I agree with Bobby that my expectations this year is to win the division (much to the chagrin of my friends in atlanta) and compete to get to the bowl. Nothing so far has derailed those expectations. boy oh boy, things are getting interesting already aren’t they? Wahle is done…that hurts my feelings.

They have 80 on the roster now. Trufant, from my understanding of it, counts towards that number. So they'll have to release someone when they sign Aaron Curry. Dukeshire: You’re correct.

That did include Curry, Tru and Wahle. All 3 are gone, for the time being, so after signing Fisher they'll have to cut someone when Curry signs. I'll double check my figures.

I know you should never get too high in the good times, but I've been thinking/expecting a Super Bowl all off-season after a lot of the good stuff that had been going on. And I know you shouldn't get too low when things look tough (with Wahle and now Tru), but if this Trufant thing is significant and Rob Sims looking like an entrenched starter --- things don't look good at the moment. Which means that we're probably somewhere in the middle of my Super Bowl win prediction and "we suck because Rob Sims is going to start" doomsday crisis prediction. Oh well, all we can hope for is the best. It makes you wonder if “Here we go again?” with the damn injury bug.

Trufant being on the PUP means he doesn't count towards the 80 man camp limit so until he's ready to go there is a free spot. Also, until Curry signs there is another free spot so I wouldn't be suprised to see another body brought in until it looks like Curry is getting close. According to the roster the team had only 80 players counting Curry and Trufant.

Especially coming off of the Hass. debacle last season you can forgive Seahawk fans for being pessimistic if not extremely nervous about Tru's back. Yes, it does make one wonder about the severity.
