While I enjoy the excitement of a late comeback by the opposition, it will be nice to NOT get burned in the 4th quarter quite so much (of course this might inhibit Josh Brown's miracle worker image). If he brings tackling skills, even better. Re hash the concept of "wrapping up". Good signing.
Not as impactful an off season as the last two years were but they've addressed some needs. Sorry to see Wistrom go but biz is biz. Would like to see some meat in the interior lines addressed, sign Stevens to an incentive laden contract and get back to the teens in the win column. Looks like the NFC West may be pretty competitive this season.

What type of cash? Without knowing what's guaranteed we really know nothing at the moment.

I officially rescind my comment after reading this....

What a difference a year makes...The cap increase was huge this year. I'm not going to get all worked up over this. These kind of contracts are now the norm for guys who are merely "good".Anyway, Grant sure as hell can't hit like Roy can, but I'll take his coverage skills over Roy's any day of the week.

Deon Grant is a solid, smart player and a great leader.
That's alot of scratch though.

Weird....the Hawks seemed to have just signed safety Brian Russell as well.

They didn't seem to be happy with any of the safeties they ended the year with. Grant and Russell are interesting pickups, but neither are as productive on the field as you'd expect. The Seahawks are likely hoping that Grant will be a much surer tackler than Boulware or Babineaux was last year. Russell will probably allow the Seahawks some flexibility to use Babineaux at corner too.

Deon's a class act. It is not often that I hear a player speaking positive about a team he just left, especially considering that the Jags initially low-balled an offer to him.
"There are no bad feelings," Grant said. "I'm gonna miss it. What I did in Jacksonville will be a great memory. The relationships we built, nobody, no league, no team can ever take that away. It's unfortunate the way things happened, but one thing I told Double D [Donovin Darius] last night is that I'm glad this worked out the way it did.
"It's a win-win situation because it gives Gerald Sensabaugh a chance to play. Gerald is an excellent safety and now gets a chance to show what he's got. Seriously, this organization only did positive things to help my career. I definitely want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to come play. I love the city and the guys. One thing I can take from Jacksonville is that I made true friendships with the guys on the team. They're like real brothers to me and we loved each other sincerely."
