It has been 10 months since I wrote my second article for Field Gulls, which my grandmother affectionately refers to as my job for the Seattle Seahawks writing something called “How much does a tackle cost.”
That is a true story, and while not quite the title nor the argument I was making, the concept has come back in recent days because of Jadeveon Clowney’s standoff with the Seahawks.
The point, clumsily made here last May, was that sacks are very nearly measurable in how NFL general managers respond with contracts.
