Releasing these players saves them about 13 million.

Does Hutch have anything left? At one point he was one of the best interior lineman in the game, how does he stack up now?

Hutch is visiting Ten. Apparently good friends with Peyton

This is a shocker. Hutch visiting Seattle

Steve Hutchinson is paying a free-agent visit to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.

We can file this one under things once considered less likely than, say, Mike Holmgren hiring former front-office nemesis Tim Ruskell as his general manager in Cleveland.

Hutchinson's disputed departure from the Seahawks to the Minnesota Vikings following their 2005 Super Bowl season remains a painful chapter in team history.

But with new leadership in the front office and beyond, there is no one left in Seattle with any direct connection to Hutchinson's messy exit. Hutchinson remains close to some long-time employees, and his former offensive coordinator in Minnesota, Darrell Bevell, is now the Seahawks' offensive coordinator.

Ruskell was team president and general manager when the Seahawks named Hutchinson their transition player, unwittingly opening the door for Hutchinson's agent to conspire with the Vikings on a "poison-pill" contract offer that, for practical purposes, prevented Seattle from keeping him. The situation widened divisions in the Seahawks' front office, and hard feelings persisted for years.

Titans do. 3 year deal

Former Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson, who was visiting his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, has reached a three-year agreement with the Tennessee Titans, according to a source.

Terms of the deal weren't available, but the move could play into Peyton Manning's pending decision. The Titans wanted to add Hutchinson to help convince Manning to join the Titans. Manning met with the Titans for more than eight hours on Wednesday.
