Posted in ESPN reports that it looks as if the Hawks are going to let wide out Nate Burleson test the free agent market:
The Seahawks’ decision to name kicker Olindo Mare their franchise player means they won’t be using the tag for anyone else. The Seahawks appear likely to let wide receiver Nate Burleson become a free agent. Using the franchise tag for Burleson would have cost more than $9 million on a one-year deal, with that money being guaranteed once Burleson signed the offer.
