SMWW Agent Advisor Goes to Work for Client. Upon being cut by the Colts, Tyrell Sales' Agent Advisor went to work to get his client a job with another NFL club. SMWW Agent Advisor, Al Thomas did not settle with Sales simply being released. Al Thomas reached out to Will Lewis, Director of Pro Personnel for the Seattle Seahawks and they hit it off, finding out they had a lot in common. After a detail conversation with Thomas, Will Lewis went to work checking the reports of all of his scouts and found that Sales was a player who they had graded high with the Seahawks scouts. Not wanting to depend on just one team,Al Thomas called every team that reached out to Tyrell on draft day as well as watched the waiver wire intensely for movement at the linebacker position. All that work has paid off. Will Lewis called Thomas to tell him that they will be bringing Sales in for a two day on site work out on Sunday August, 9th. Thomas had this to say about the deal, "My work is done; now Tyrell has to go to work and show Seattle he belongs in the NFL and on their roster." Reminder: Athlete Management starts August 17th.
