Seattle’s season ended with a disappointing wild-card game loss, but what defined that season was the players’ strike, which led to replacement players and a rift between stars Kenny Easley and Steve Largent.
As Kenny Easley stepped to the microphone for a roughly one-minute speech at halftime of the Seahawks-Colts game on Oct. 1 to commemorate the official retiring of his jersey, the first thing he did was point to the rafters of CenturyLink Field where his No. 45 had just been unveiled.
“It’s really terrific to be here tonight to see my number retired alongside Steve Largent, my teammate,’’ Easley said.
