Bobby Taylor wants to return to the NFL?

Former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Bobby Taylor was an excellent big coverman for the team from 1995-2003. He last played for the Seattle Seahawks in 2004 and was in training camp the following season. He hasn’t played a down in the NFL since 2004. But that doesn’t mean a measly six-year layoff should keep someone from [...]

Lendale says Carroll couldn’t explain why he was cut

Lendale White essentially lost his job in Tennessee when Chris Johnson was so amazingly good that it never made sense to pull him off the field.

Houshmandzadeh has sports hernia surgery

According to Danny O’Neil (who?) on Twitter, the Seattle Seahawks will be without the services of WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh for the foreseeable future.

Lendale White is…in shape?

When the Seattle Seahawks traded for the big, fat running back from the Tennessee Titans, they probably thought they were getting a guy who was about to do one of two things. Either A. Be good at getting one or two yards on third down, or B. Eat his way out of the league. Well, [...]

Washington’s wife happy to be out of New York

Former New York Jets RB Leon Washington was hoping to get a new contract with the Jets. They couldn’t agree on terms, and then Washington shredded his leg against Oakland and it made the team understandably not so hot on extending his deal. But then the Jets signed Ladainian Tomlinson and drafted USC RB Joe [...]

Seattle acquires Leon Washington and Lendale White

The Seattle Seahawks have been busy beavers today at the NFL draft. And we could argue that they got immediately better in their backfield and did so with picks that they never made. They traded a fifth-round pick to the New York Jets to get Leon Washington (and a seventh rounder) and slid down a [...]

Whitehurst will have a chance to start

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that while Matt Hasselbeck is the QB right now, Whitehurst will have a chance to compete. This isn’t shocking, they didn’t give him $10 million over the course of two years to be a backup. “Well, it’s clear to us that Matt has paid his dues,” Carroll [...]

Seahawks add Baker

The mass exodus of New England Patriots tight ends continues. After losing Ben Watson to the Cleveland Browns, the Patriots have now watched Chris Baker sign a two-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks thinking Marshall?

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Seattle Seahawks are “strongly considering” signing Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall to a restricted free agent contract. Marshall was tendered at the first-round level, so on the surface it would seem that the Seahawks would owe the Broncos a first-round pick if they signed him. But, that isn’t [...]

Lions snag Burleson

The Detroit Lions have reeled in former Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks WR Nate Burleson with a five-year, $25 million deal with $11 million in guarantees. Five years seems to be a bit much for a receiver this close to 30-years old, but these contracts don’t mean jack squat in the NFL anyway. He’ll be [...]
