Merged X5: Seattle withdraws Leroy Hills Franchise Tag

[Quadfather]

Seattle withdrew Leroy Hills Franchise Tag. I know we probally wont go after him, but we could use an outside linebacker. what do you think?

 

[DolfanDaveInMI]

Too small to play outside in a 3-4.

he does not fit the 3-4 scheme.

Leroy HIll???????

The Seahawks Just took away his franchise tag! becuz they drafted Curry he is officially a free agent any ideas should the dolphins pursue????

 

[Phinatic8u]

Yea maybe he could play inside next to crowder IMO

 

[SQuinn17]

Talk about an impact player....lol. How the hell did that guy get the franchise tag? Channing Crowder put up better number than he did. 84 tackles, no forced fumbles, no fumble recoveries, 1 sack. No thanks.

has the frame, just needs the coaching, if we dont get JT, id love to get him for some QUALITY depth

 

[Quadfather]

I posted this earlier, everyone said he cant play in the 3-4

Leroy Hill is nothing special, trust me. When they franchised him, I laughed. Living 2 hours from Seattle and watching this guy, trust me, hes a big disappointment.

 

[dolphinswin]

sounds to me like he's not the smartest either, doesnt sign a franchise tender has it yanked and will never get close to that loot again, what a moron, for that reason alone i wouldnt endorse trying to grab the fool

 

[Dfootball11]

id give him a look.. he is only 26 imo

Seattle takes Franchise Tag off Leroy Hill do we look at him???

This guy is a very talented LB and has performed well in Seattle for a while. He is only 26 and is 6'1" 238lbs. In 4 years and 56 games he has 329 tackles, 29 pass deflections, 13.5 sacks, and 6 FF. He would be an upgrade over Ayodele and Anderson. He would start on day 1 and give us that much more talent on D. He would be cheaper than Jason Taylor and is very young still. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. And the other thing I was curious about is would you guys have traded for Ellis Hobbs. He has been a dependable guy in New England and it would give us a chance to stick it to them for once. We would have basically had to trade Hartline and Nalbone. Neither of which I care for at all

 

[X-Pacolypse]

No.

 

[paskerbrandon]

Leroy Hill surprisingly set free, becomes UFA. Should we look at him?

After not getting the OLB we wanted in the draft do you think Parcells jumps on this?

 

[gdiaz0358]

Leroy Hill?

any chance we take a look @ him, looks like hes a Fa. I know hes a bit small for OLB in a 3-4, but maybe he can be moved inside. he has talent. what do you think.
