Bluedude Sportstalk SPORTS SHORTS Take 156...BRAVES lock up SS SIMMONS...SEAHAWKS not using TAG on BENNETT as THOMAS III a Major Priority #BRAVEScountry #12s

The Atlanta Braves wasting no time as though someone is waiting to snatch their Players right out of Camp. The Braves lock up their Gold Glove Shortstop Andrelton Simmons to a reported seven-year $58 million as he joins the likes of Craig Kimbrel, Jason Hayward, Julio Teheran, and Freddie Freeman among others. That Core for the Braves will be intact for the most part until 2020 and that spells trouble for the rest of the NL East. Simmons in 606 Plate Appearances in 2013 hit .248 with 17 bombs and 59 ribbies. He was also 3rd on the Braves in Runs Scored (79) and tied for 2nd in Two-Baggers with 27.

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly through numerous media outlets have no interest in Franchise Tagging DE Michael Bennett. Their 2013 Sack Leader with 8.5 Red Jersey Collections should be a somewhat Hot Commodity in the NFL Free Agent Market.  A Rush End is not that easy to find and Bennett is somewhat proven. 12's also has WR Golden Tate to take care of and their #1 Priority is Safety Earl "Hookem' Horns" Thomas III this Summer. The Seahawks stands to lose some Folks as the Super Bowl Win always translates into some Folks trying to get paid. The Way NFL Contracts are structured why not if you have Bling already!
