    According to some of the rumors, doesn't KP want an extension? A statement like that would hurt Allen's leverage in extension talks. I just don't think we can read too much into the silence. You may be right, but there are other explanations.

    Pritchard is under contract through next season. Not really a bold statement, then; rather, it's just stating the obvious if the idea is to keep Kevin.

    I think the Holmgren discussion must have been about him coming back to be the GM after they fired Ruskell. Holmgren was stripped of his GM duties 7 years ago or so. And they subsequently won 5 straight NFC West championships, and had their first ever super bowl appearance. As a coach, Holmgren was awesome in Seattle, period. Holmgren retired from coaching, he wasn't forced out. The fact that PA didn't bring him back as GM or some executive of football operations is extremely strange. Holmgrenn wanted the job. Something happened there for sure.
