For the right price what’s the harm in bringing him in amd trying him, and if he doesn’t wotk out, send him down the road?

Works his tail off, and will have zero problem finding a home. Was just the extra guy on a stacked receiving unit, making too much to justify keeping him

Good luck in the future. Go hawks

I guess they haven’t realized that Seattle is better at every single position except guard and LB? And that’s not saying much because Wagner and Wright are really good. Remember that 42-13 beat down…?

You had your 2 year run. Shut up, sit down, and watch Russell Wilson dominate the next decade. K thx

Happy trails my friend.

They lost by six points while holding San Francisco to thirteen, then they thrashed the 9ers at home…….

1-3 vs the Niners in two years. We stomped GB, you won by fail mary. You lost to Atl in playoffs. We beat them. We were in the Superbowl, you didnt even get to the conference championship.

He’s big and fast and he occassionally catches the ball.

Obamanu will definitely get picked up & if he’s lucky enough to catch on with a good passing team he can contribute as 3rd or 4th wr IMO. I wish you all the luck in the world Mr. Obamanu. Go show the league what you can really do.

Hope you land somewhere.

Obama-New is how he kept saying it! LOL…

For you unfamiliar to Mr. Obamanu, it’s
Oba-Ma-New

To be honest with ourselves- he is a below average reciever. I remember he caught what looked like a TD from Wilson and was running in the open field no one close and the tuff monster took him down. Seatttle also needs to make sure they don’t keep hanging onto guys like Charlie Martin and Deon Butler (sad to admit) look a younger development talents like Phil Bates and Jermaine Kearse

My guess is that one of the other NFC W teams will pick him up, if only for competitive espionage! Good luck wherever you wind up.

Take him out to dinner get him nice and tipsy. “Loosey goosey” as some 3rd basemen may say. Then extract everything he knows about the Hawks. They’re shaping up to be a formidable opponent… on paper.

They needed to free up some money for Harvin, Avril and Bennett. $2.5M is too much for an often-hurt special teams contributor.

We wish you all the best, Ben! I hope you land somewhere and become this exceptional receiver!

A decent backup for any team. Good Luck Ben!
