With rumors circling Wednesday regarding the interest of the Seattle Seahawks in veteran free agent running backs Devonta Freeman and Carlos Hyde, fans were not excited about the possibility of overpaying for experience with youngsters like DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer available. Whether the Seahawks and one of these running backs do indeed reach agreement on contract terms, with rumors being that each side is sticking to its contractual demands and not ready to budge at this point.
Meanwhile, Hyde reportedly turned down a two-year, $10M contract offer from the Houston Texans at some point, and many have postulated that he is still hoping to land a contract in the $5M per year range.
