Comments on: John Moffitt unplugged on 710 ESPN Seattle http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2013/02/28/john-moffitt-unplugged-on-710-espn-seattle/ Where there is no off season Thu, 23 May 2013 02:48:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: pdway http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2013/02/28/john-moffitt-unplugged-on-710-espn-seattle/#comment-318231 pdway Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:56:44 +0000 http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/?p=16989#comment-318231 kind of interesting unusual that there are 3 guys of similar age/resumes coming free at the same time.

for some reason – on a gut level, I think Freeney is the best bet. But I can’t say I’ve closely watched the three of them this last season.

Abraham has significant value to the Seahawks in 2013, IMO.

But Miller really shut me up with some key catches over the last few games of the regular season, and then his huge production in the two playoff games. Not complaining any more.

It is assumed he is not earning this money as his receptions, yards, and TD numbers don’t justify this, and they probably don’t when looked at in a vacuum.

What the numbers don’t show is that Miller is an excellent blocking TE and if you go back and look at the film you will see Miller throwing the critical block that springs Lynch for the big run and/or TD.

Some TEs are pass catching TEs that can’t or won’t block. Some TEs are blocking TEs that couldn’t catch a cold let alone a football thrown their way

We have a TE that excells at both pass catching AND blocking.

I don’t see why he would restructure if it meant losing any guaranteed money, and I don’t see why the Hawks would want to increase his cap number in 2014 and 2015 just to decrease it in 2013. Yes, his cap number is 10.8 mil in 2013, but 5 mil of that is going to count against the cap even if he is released. Not that I think it will happen, but he would have a 3 mil cap number in 2013 for the Hawks if they traded him. His cap number is only 6.8 mil in 2014 and 5.8 mil in 2015, very reasonable figures for a TE of his caliber. I would guess that his contract was PURPOSELY set up like this to leave the team more space in 2014 and 2015, when they knew they would need it.

I do agree with them that Obomanu will probably be a cap casualty. I don’t think you can justify paying him 2.3 mil in 2013.
