Bruce Irvin is going to say what he thinks and feels, regardless of filter.
The Seahawks linebacker learned over the weekend that the team will not be picking up the fifth-year option on his contract — despite proclaiming him a big part of the future.
Irvin was not happy and took to social media to vent.

Irvin — the Seahawks’ first-round pick in 2012 — has recorded 16.5 sacks in three seasons. The one-year option on his contract would have resulted in a $7.75 million salary in 2016.
He later calmed down and sent out this message.
I am a Seahawk! #12thman
