In very quick fashion, the Seattle Seahawks have become a completely different football team. Michael Bennett was traded. Earl Thomas may be traded. Cliff Avril may be released or could retire; the same rumors about retirement are floating around about Kam Chancellor as well. Richard Sherman was released yesterday at age 29 to clear $11 million in cap space after tearing his Achilles last season. One of the greatest defenses of all time is being ripped apart and picked off the ground by the rest of football now that the best players have become older, injured, expensive, and/or mediocre.
