Seahawks Could Re-Sign Hill
The Seattle Seahawks reportedly are close to re-signing linebacker Leroy Hill. The Seahawks placed their franchise player tag on Hill in February but rescinded it last weekend, making him an unrestricted free agent. That move came just after the club used the fourth overall selection in the NFL draft on linebacker Aaron Curry. Hill and the Seahawks have continued negotiating on a longterm deal, however. "We believe we made the right decision," Seahawks Coach Jim Mora told Seattle radio station KJR, according to an account in the Tacoma News Tribune. "Sure it was a risky decision, a very risky decision.... If for some reason Leroy decides to go somewhere else then we're open to criticism. We probably deserve it. But my belief in talking to Leroy as much as I have is that he'll be wearing a Seattle Seahawk uniform next year. I feel very confident of that."
