		<description><![CDATA[I think Bryant is one of those players who is far more valuable to Seattle than he would be to other teams.  Maybe he could fit as a 3-4 DE somewhere, but he hasn&#039;t played that exact position before, so there would be some risk.

Given it&#039;s probably down to Bryant and Hawthorne, I think they tag Bryant, and hope to sign him to a long-term deal before it becomes necessary to pay him the full $10+ million out of this year&#039;s cap.  Hate to see Hawthorne leave, but KJ Wright can slide nicely to the middle, and IMO, LBs are the equivalent of RBs in that you can find guys to come in and play right away in the draft.  They may even leave Wright outside and use the #12 overall on Luke Kechley, who looks like he could step in and start on day one.  I&#039;d rather see a pass-rush specialist at that position, but if one isn&#039;t available, Kechley would be a great choice, especially since if Hawthorne doesn&#039;t return and Hill leaves or is suspended, Seattle will suddenly be exceptionally thin at LB.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like the guy that tried to write this piece said...&#039;open up room for his teammates to make tacklers.&#039;
Red is stout against the run, and has a nose for the ball, but he isn&#039;t a $10 Million a year DE. 
Red already stated that he loves playing in Seattle, and he and his family want to stay.
It shouldn&#039;t be hard to get a reasonable contract done before the tag deadline.]]></description>
