Eagles, Cards, Giants, Panthers, Chiefs already in contact with him.

You must have missed the dedicated Seahawk thread...there are a few of us here.
Not sure what happened. He has all the physical tools still as he did, but not the mental sense. He was a smart guy, and one assumed that he'd figure out the adjustment to the NFL from college ball. He hasn't.
Whether it be football sense, or the killer instinct that you need to be an NFL linebacker, he just hasn't used his mental capacity to properly use his physical tools to be the dominant guy he was projected to be.
Year 1 you may get a pass, but year two he was as much or more of a ghost out there.
This year so far he's shown glimpses, but dropped an easy INT at a key point vs. Pitt and really not the stand out of a top 5 draft pick.
He's not a complainer, he's not got a bad attitude at least as far as being disruptive.
He did restructure his deal to keep his position to this point this year, but got relegated to second team this weekend.
Its too bad, the Seahawks, although doing well with their current rag tag bunhc, need that stuf LB to help suppliment a young line with the run.
I've said before, if you could've put his body on Tatupu's (2008 non concussed) head and football mind on Curry's body, you'd have a top NFL linebacker.
Certainly a head scratcher, because there's nothing obvious wrong...and as for a team picking him up, its tough for that team to figure out what exactly it will take to motivates him to get him to play up the couple levels he needs to take it up.
