In the early 2000s, Kenny Easley reconnected to the Seahawks after 15 years of acrimony and estrangement. That eventually re-set his post-football path all the way into enshrinement next month in the Hall of Fame.
Two more great franchise moments, thanks to Paul Allen.
“I got the call from Gary Wright (now-retired Seahawks vice president) saying that Paul Allen had indicated to him that they would not put another player in Ring of Honor before they put Kenny Easley in there, and if he, Gary Wright, would make the call for me,” Easley said on the telephone Tuesday, three weeks before Seattle’s legendary, thumping safety and 1984 NFL defensive player of the year becomes the 306th man inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
