Thursday afternoon fans of the Seattle Seahawks were looking for a big announcement from the team, specifically concerning the signing of defensive end Ziggy Ansah. Fans are still waiting for that announcement, but the Seahawks hit fans hard with the announcement of the release of two of the best players in franchise history in Kam Chancellor and Doug Baldwin.
Chancellor and Baldwin have been fixtures on the team, with Chancellor joining the Seahawks in 2010 when Pete Carroll came to town, and Baldwin joining the squad as an undrafted free agent at the conclusion of the 2011 lockout.
