As the HBO network continues to search for a willing NFL team to take part in their reality show Hard Knocks, the Seattle Seahawks have respectfully declined the opportunity, according to the team.

Seahawks GM John Schneider went on Pro Football Talk Live this morning, making the announcement that Seattle won't be on HBO this summer.

"Schneider said the Seahawks weren't formally offered the spot, but that when they were approached, they decided they didn't want to do it," PFT's Michael David Smith wrote after Schneider's appearance.

HBO is starting to run out of franchises to petition to be on the series this season, but I'm sure they'll find one eventually.
