What he means is as with most recently crowned NFL Super Bowl champion teams, it's usually difficult to keep that Championship team together after the big win. Most of the players think they're worth at least twice as much now since the Super Bowl victory and demand more money. Even with P Allen's empire it's either one of two things, he either can't pay them all more or won't. The latter would seem the more realistic. Therefore it won't be surprising to see several players go elsewhere for more money. Business is business and loyalty is fleeting. P Allen is proven to be quite smart, he'll get what he wants with his team and have plenty (we hope anyway) left to continue to expand his vintage air force.
For those who don't know (or don't care) P Allen's either the outright or majority owner of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, MLS's Seattle Sounders and NBA's Portland Trailblazers, among at least a partial ownership of some other professional teams.
True, but other factors enter the equation like salary caps enforced by the NFL, the fact that the HAWKS got DangeRuss for chump change as a 3rd round draft pick (about $650K). Lots of money spent on getting Percy Harvin and Marshawn. Besides P. Allen already has a pretty nicely finished 757 to balance off his 767.
Paul has more money in the change dish on his counter than you wll gross in your lifetime. The SOUNDERS spent $9 million on getting Clint Dempsey and he scored exactly 1 one, ichi, ein, uno nine million dollar goal during the 2013 season.
Did you notice during the game that whenever the camera went tight on Russ' eyes before a snap, he looked more like he was trying to decide on the blue sweater or green shirt instead of staring at 4500 pounds of sweaty opposing beef-
