The Seahawks “expect” to have linebacker Bruce Irvin on the team for a long time, but they won’t be ensuring a fifth year at this point via the exercise of the automatic option that would extend his rookie deal. And while coach Pete Carroll said over the weekend that he met with Irvin to explain the situation and it “went very well,” it didn’t go as well last night on Twitter.
Bruce Irvin took to his Twitter account and proclaimed “f*ck that option”. He didn’t mean f*ck the team though, he declared himself a Seahawk and expressed a desire to work harder and prove his worth.
Irvin was set to receive $7.8 million under the option. He now has the chance to work hard and pick up a big contract as a free agent.
