richNjoisy Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 From ESPN: In a move that will create competition among two youngsters for the right offensive tackle spot, the Seattle Seahawks released starter Chris Terry, whose combination of injuries and off-field problems likely cost him his job. ........ the Seahawks signed him to a new five-year, $19 million contract following the 2002 season, \ From just a football standpoint, Terry could attract some attention now that he is a free agent, because there is no denying his talent. He is an unusual tackle, in that he plays the strong side position, but is regarded as a better pass protector than run blocker. Any team that considers Terry, however, will have to factor in his past off-field problems and that he missed considerable playing time the last two seasons. Terry was suspended for four games in 2003 because of a repeat violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He was also fined an additional five game checks that year for violating the league's personal conduct policy. In 2004, he started in just eight games, largely because of a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery. The former University of Georgia standout still had three seasons remaining on the five-year contract signed in 2003 and was scheduled to earn a $3 million base salary in 2005. *********************************************************** Apparently, when physically, healthy - this guy is good NOT your typical Bills signing since it sounds like there are major character issues.

TheMadCap Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 When I lived in Charlotte, they guy was always running afoul of the law for something or other. Usually drinking, drugs, or beating up on women. Maybe the Dolphins will pick him up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 According to the conventional wisdom of the Wall, TD won't be interested because he's not injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
