WAHLE SIGNS WITH SEAHAWKS

Free-agent guard Mike Wahle is a free agent no more.

Wahle told the Afternoon Blitz on Sirius NFL Radio that he has signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks.

The deal reunites Wahle with former Packers coach Mike Holmgren, who selected Wahle in the second round of the 1998 supplemental draft.

I didn't know Holmgren was the Packers GM in 1998.

[Jimx29]

That's a whale of a signing

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I thought you can't sign free agents until March 3?

[MadtownPacker]

Not getting signed by TT is the sure kiss of death for any player at the end of his career. Nice knowing you wahle. BTW - Remind your wife she is a snobby bitch.

[packinpatland]

......thought that was Longwell's wife ...........what is it with ex-Packer wives?

[hoosier]

MD is right, unrestricted free agent signing period doesn't begin till march. Smells kinda rank to me. Where exactly was this posted?

He was cut, his contract never expired.

The Colt guards or the kid from Tenn are better prospects anyhow.

From www.profootballtalk.com

Media reports indicate that guard Mike Wahle's deal with the Seahawks is five years in length. A league source tells us that, as a practical matter, it's a contract that will last three or four years.

The source also says that Wahle received a small signing bonus but "good" salaries.

Wahle was cut earlier this week by the Panthers, and the only team he visited was Seattle. Though some readers question why Wahle would be able to sign with anyone prior to February 29, released players with four or more years of credited service whose contracts are terminated in the offseason are automatically eligible to sign with any team. Players with less than four years of service are subject to waivers before becoming free agents.

Wonder what Seattle's giving him.....?

Fire TT!!!!
