Seahawks Offered Free Agent QB Matt Hasselbeck A One-Year, $7M Deal?

Discussion in 'Seattle Seahawks' started by BigBlueBruiser, Jun 17, 2011.

  1. Appearing on 710 Seattle Radio on Thursday, ESPN's John Clayton said that the Seahawks have offered free agent Matt Hasselbeck a one-year, $7 million contract. Clayton was asked about the possibility of the Titans signing Hasselbeck, as has been heavily speculated in the national media. He estimated that No. 8 pick Jake Locker will be making $7-8 million in his first season. "(The Titans) are not gonna offer $7 million -- which is what Hasselbeck's been offered (by Seattle) -- and then have $14 million tied up in the quarterback position, and then really just have Matt as a transitional guy. ... I think Kerry Collins would be willing to accept $3, 4 or 5 million." Clayton still believes the Seahawks will re-sign Hasselbeck.

    No freaking way they could be that desperate. might as well pick up T. Pryor in the 1st rd of the Sup. Draft.

    You guys act like 7 mil for a starting quarterback is some ridiculous number. That's probably middle of the pack or possibly lower than the average salary of starting QBs.

    The guy wants a minimum of 2 years. I can tell you right now that Zona would be willing to give him at least two years averaging 7 mil or more.

    That's a middle of the pack number for a below average QB.
