RENTON, Wash. -- The Seahawks withdrew the franchise designation from linebacker Leroy Hill after drafting Wake Forest's Aaron Curry with the fourth overall choice.

The move, confirmed by the team, makes Hill a free agent. The one-year, $8.3 million franchise offer no longer exists.

Hill, a third-round choice in 2005, had refused to sign the offer while attempting to negotiate a lucrative long-term deal. He skipped voluntary minicamp practices recently.

Leroy Hill is a fine player, but at 6'1" 238 lbs., is he really what we're looking for to play on the strong side in a 3-4?

He is NOT a 3-4 OLB. Maybe inside.

I don't disagree.

Could be that a hunk of that contract was in a bonus and he has less then half of the original contract left. Actually that isn't a bad contract to pick up if he ends up a starter and we can dump S. Smith. In any case, the cap hit should be less then $4 mil.

We picked up a big contract with Coleman though. I just don't know the details of it.

Unfortunately, the unreliable and easily altered Wikipedia is the only place that I could find any contract numbers on Coleman.

On March 6, 2007, the Jets signed Coleman to a contract, reportedly worth $20M over five years.
