Why the Seahawks will decline the fifth year option on Rashaad Penny

With each passing day the NFL offseason gets one day shorter, meaning fans of the Seattle Seahawks are one day closer to getting to watch meaningful football again. That said, with the new league year set to start three weeks from Wednesday, fans will have free agency and then the draft to keep themselves occupied in the coming weeks and months before the arrival of the summer doldrums. The Seahawks have plenty of personnel decisions to make with regards to their own free agents and holes to fill on the roster, but they will also have to make decisions regarding whether to use the franchise tag as well as a decision on whether to exercise the fifth year option of 2018 first round pick Rashaad Penny.
