He retired with two's left on it.  Using the "Poison pill" is not the same as tampering. Big difference in the two. Seattle could have matched the offer. They just didn't want to guarantee him the $49 million. And BTW, Hutchinsons agent knew about the "Poison Pill".  <a href="http://www.chrisholmesonline.com/2006/03/21/seahawks-lose-hutchinson-to-vikings/" target="_blank">Chris Holmes Online » Blog Archive » Seahawks Lose Hutchinson To Vikings</a> His agent got the best deal he could for his client. The Seahawks weren't willing to use the "Franchise" tag on him. Had they, he would still be in Seattle.   <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2002861412_hawks13.html" target="_blank">The Seattle Times: Sports: Vikings offer big contract to Hutchinson</a>  Instead they tried to save $600,000 by using the "Transition" tag. For the record, I don't like the use of the "Poison pill".</blockquote>
