Seattle-bound Burleson going back home, without a Minnesota match

Seattle put a pair of provisions in the deal that would make it impractical for the Vikings to match.

If Burleson plays at least five games in the state of Minnesota or if his annual salary average is more than the average of his team's highest-paid running back, then the entire $49 million would be guaranteed.

Thats a priceless comeback to the Hutch deal.

I agree, but I believe I would rather have Hutchinson at that price rather than Burleson. Hutchinson is arguably the best OL in the NFL, while Burleson doesn't even rank near the top at WR. Burleson was bothered by injuries last season, I just believe the Seahawks overpaid for him.

But, I do love the "poison pill" the Seahawks threw in the deal to Burleson that if he played more than 5 games in Minnesota then the full amount of his contract would be guaranteed.

I know they overpaid to Burelson too. but I just saw the clause and had to post. Id rather have Burelson cause i wouldnt give a OG a QB salary.

I still think Walter Jones is better than Hutch. Thats just my opinon.

No doubt jones is better than hutch. I love this deal, we get a pretty good replacement to Joe, and stick it to the Vikes.

Burleson is hot garbage.

[McKain]

There's nothing being stuck to the Vikings here. There's plenty of childish stupidity by the Seahawks.

Nevertheless, the Seahawks plan to restructure Burleson down from this deal to a 4 year/14 mil (Reportedly) deal, and the 7 for 49 was just them being stupid towards Minny.

[Porter]

So Childish Stupidity from MIN gets Childish Response from SEA....makes sense.

[McKain]

Yeah, "childish stupidity" is definitely what I'd call that Hutchinson deal. Definitely. For sure.
