 OT: Classy move by Seattle Seahawks
Maybe this should be on the Pro board but I don't read that board and it is very cool story.

Like all NFL teams, the Seahawks give their draft picks extensive physicals. The physical revealed that 6th round pick Garrett Scott had a heart condition that would prevent him from playing.
Quote:There's a silver lining. The Seahawks found out about Scott's condition before signing him but the team signed him to his contract anyway, then waived him. That means Scott receives his signing bonus and first-year salary totaling about $555,000...
Yes, they cut him but they also signed him to a contract BEFORE cutting him. That is 500k they didn't have to spend.
BRAVO!
