Seahawks Insider - Alge Crumpler update

Friday, February 29th, 2008

I just spoke with Alge Crumpler's agent, Butch Williams, who said the internet report that Crumpler is going to sign with Seattle is inaccurate. He said Alge already has left Seattle and that he is going to visit one more team before making a decision on where he wants to sign. But to say that he is going to sign with the Seahawks is premature. He did not want to say what type of money Crumpler is seeking but he did say that he was confident that Tim Ruskell and John Idzik were savvy enough to manipulate the cap if it got to the point where they wanted to sign Crumpler. I also asked him how Crumpler's medical tests went. "I don't want to speak for them, but I think it went fine," Butch Williams said.

Yeah, this sucks. I was hoping he would sign on the dotted line! Oh well...

Whoever put out that rumor needs to be thrown over a bridge immediately.

This shouldn't be news to anyone, but I'll say it anyway.

When they leave, they don't come back.

If we don't sign Crumpler, and lose all our other FA's... we've got some big holes to fill in the draft.

According to NFL Network last night Seattle only has $3.2 million in cap space left.

This number is from Adam Schefter who is usually reliable.
