Sean Morey Announces Retirement
Finally, football is back.
Maybe I’m too excited for a team that has won only nine games in two years, but there is nothing better than starting a fresh season in the National Football League.
Renton was busy today; two separate practices in the morning and afternoon meant non-stop traffic between the Landing and the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Local businesses proudly displayed posters featuring Seattle’s trademark “12″ and eager fans filled sidewalks wearing Seahawks apparel.
The morning opened with several stories, but none more surprising than Sean Morey’s retirement.
Sean Morey had been signed by the Seattle Seahawks last March after spending three seasons with division rival Arizona. Morey, a highly regarded special teamer and former Pro Bowl selection, was expected to improve Seattle’s coverage units this season.
Morey’s decision leaves the Seahawks with only eleven receivers in camp, but his contributions weren’t expected to be as an offensive player. With his departure, it creates a potential opportunity for another player who is in camp with the team.
While Morey would have been beneficial for Seattle’s special teams, his retirement isn’t necessarily the worst thing that could have happened to the franchise.

I know he was a good special teamer with the Steelers and the Cardinals. Retirement comes as a bit of a surprise as the Seahawks just signed him this past spring. I imagine he's taken quite a beating over the years, though.
