Slipping under the radar among other comments by Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider at the NFL owners’ meetings Tuesday was an interesting story about a player who opted for less money to stay with the Seattle organization rather than accept a big league contract and a genuine roster spot elsewhere in the league. Speaking about the competition for cornerback opposite Richard Sherman while DeShawn Shead recuperates, Schneider gave praise to Pierre Desir, the former Cleveland Brown and San Diego Charger who joined the Seahawks’ practice squad in November, and whom Schneider offered a futures contract in January (basically a non-guaranteed one-year deal).
