The ramping up of the NFL offseason means lots of questions worth answering out there about the Seahawks. So let’s get to it.
Q: @ianrolfe asked: Assuming (Frank) Clark is not tagged, could Hawks tag and then trade Earl (Thomas) instead of losing him to FA (free agency)?
A: Theoretically yes, practically no. I wrote about this last month, as well, but at that time neglected to mention one key fact of this — tagged players don’t have to sign the Franchise Tag.
That was something former NFL agent Joel Corry, who now writes about salary cap issues for CBSSports.
