Seahawks sign Mychal Kendricks while he awaits sentencing for insider trading felony

Sometimes you just can’t make things up. The Seattle Seahawks are adding some linebacker depth http://www.49erscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-weston-richburg-jersey , signing Mychal Kendricks to a one-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Kendricks is expected to play on Monday when they face the Chicago Bears.Kendricks is a talented linebacker, but there is one slight problem. He pled guilty to insider trading, and faces jail time. His sentencing date is January 24, and sentencing guidelines suggest 30-37 months of jail time, according to Schefter. His guilty plea might get him less, but it is safe to say he’s headed to prison for at least a little bit of time. That sentencing date is four days after the NFC title game 49ers Richard Sherman Jersey , but I don’t think any of us expect the Seahawks to be playing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl.There is no word yet on if he faces a suspension from the NFL. Although this is a “white collar crime,” it would fall squarely in the confines of the personal conduct policy. The NFL has no real clue what it is doing with punishment, so I don’t think any of us can predict how long Kendricks might eventually be suspended. The NFL pretends to care about image issues, but I really don’t know how this plays out.Amidst all of this is how quickly the Seahawks took care of this deal. We had the first reports of a visit earlier this afternoon, and it took no time for reports of a signing. It’s not surprising, but it still leaves me shaking my head.Pierre Gar莽on walked us through the block that led to Matt Breida’s touchdown The block lasted for what it seemed like an eternity to those of us just watching. It must have felt even longer for Pierre Gar莽on who was locked up with Lions DB Nevin Lawson for at least half of Matt Breida’s 66-yard touchdown run. Gar莽on has always prided himself on being a complete player, hence a blocker Cheap Dante Pettis Jersey , but he did remark that this ranked as one of the best blocks of his football career: Gar莽on is known as one of the bigger trash talkers in the league but he says there wasn’t much talking as the block went on. He does admit to doing his share of talking throughout a game, as he says that it makes him play harder. He also sees that his teammates feed off it it and it gets everyone energized. It has clearly had an effect on how Breida sees him: Gar莽on remained humble about the block, saying he was just “happy to be a part of it.” He felt like Breida had been close to breaking one for a while and saw him get open. He recalled staying with Lawson as long as the play was live, trying not to get a holding call. He knew he had the last guy left who could prevent the score and could hear “excitement and the guys running behind” him. Gar莽on admitted he didn’t know exactly where Breida was behind him and was just hoping that he could make a move to cut around to get into the end zone.Gar莽on caught all four of his targets for 57 yards facing the Lions and Kyle Shanahan revealed in hind sight that he should gone to him more. He added that Gar莽on did the best at beating the tight man coverage that the Lions defense was playing against them. Gar莽onsaid that targets don’t matter to him, you go into the game with a plan and depending on what you opponent gives you, the game could turn out completely different.
