Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll mentioned during his press conference after the first-round of the 2010 NFL Draft that a decision on Walter Jones would be announced next Thursday.

Between the Seahawks selection of Oklahoma State left tackle Russell Okung, and Seahawks offensive line coach Alex Gibbs saying Okung is "going to be Walter's replacement", it appears that, at the very least, Jones' days with the Seahawks have come to an end.

"It's over!!!!!!", Jones tweeted late Thursday night, though the "R" word was not specifically used. Jones later tweeted that the Lakers game was over.

Jones is signed through the 2012 season, and has base salaries of $7.3 million dollars in each of the next two seasons.

Jones, who turned 36 in January, has not played since Thanksgiving Day 2008 against the Dallas Cowboys. Jones underwent microfracture surgery in December of '08, had a clean-up knee operation a few months later, and a back injury during last year's training camp. He attempted to rehab the injury and return for mid-season, but was placed on injured reserve and had been rehabilitating the injury in Florida this off-season.

The sixth overall pick of the 1997 NFL Draft out of Florida State, Jones started all 180 games he played during his 13-year career, the entirety of which has been spent with the Seahawks, paving the way for eight 1,000-yard seasons by Seahawks running backs.

Jones was a first-team All-Rookie selection in '97, and was named to 9 Pro Bowls, including eight straight from 2001-08. Jones was a four-time first-team All-Pro, three-time second-team All-Pro.Named to the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s in January, one of the best left tackles to ever play the game, will certainly be enshrined in Canton, Ohio within the next 5-7 years of his retirement.
