Seattle waives LenDale ... looking to deal for Marshawn?

[Free Bagel]

They just signed the guy, so this is somewhat shocking to me. Coaches and scouts have networks, so how could the Seahawks not have known about this guy's poor work ethic and immaturity? (these were the reasons listed on rotoworld).

Since they gave up basically nothing for him (if I recall, they moved down 7 spots in the 4th round and 9 spots in the 6th round, and also got another player back along with LenDale) I suppose it's entirely possible that they knew about these things and figured they'd take a shot with seeing if Carroll could get him to shape up. Even if they couldn't, they didn't really lose anything in trying.
