Holding Paul Allen up for ransom? Maybe if the guy was an entrepreneur and had a technology startup company in an incubator mode somewhere in the Pacific Northwest...? But an OLD 35 yr did I say OLD receiver...? Somewhere, I can see Boy Wonder Dan Snyder, who must be rubbing his hands in HOT pursuit of this has been.

Engram was Seattle's best WR last year, most consistent, always finding a way to get open and hardly ever making mistakes. Yeah he is old, but why couldn't Seattle just give him a raise this year? If players who can't stay healthy (Deion Branch) are getting 2-3x the money that Engram has why can't he get compensated? I would figure that Seattle doesn't want to invest a long term deal in a 35 year old, but that doesn't mean they couldn't keep his base salary at 1.7m or even drop it to the veteran minimum and then give him a bonus that is $3 or $4 million. It probably won't happen because why would a team give more money to a guy who actually produces on the field. Of course this is all based on last year's stats. In previous years Ingram would be the one hurt. Hey Florio, can you dig up Engrams contract that he signed whenever? It must've been awhile ago, but I want to see his bonus money/total package vs. how many games he has played and started/done well in. I'll do the legwork on the stats if you can find me a contract. ^^^^^^ Goes out to anyone that has knowledge of this contract, just post it in here and I'll see what I can do. jgd3rd - welcome to the nfl information channel.
