Great visit with Gus and the Jaguars Organization, some good people. They're headed in the right direction. Now off to San Fran.

Hatcher signed with Redskins so he is out

Harvin is our #1.

For the sake of the Seahawks he better not be.

In the 3 games he managed to play in he only caught a total of 5 passes.

His average distance from the goalline on catches over a 2 year period was 2.6 yards, meaning he doesn't do much route running and when he does go out on a route he is mostly a decoy or simply not thrown to.

He had some success with trick plays, but as far as actually going out and running routes and catching the ball he is behind Kearse and possibly even Lockette.

Not only is he not a #1, it's hard to call him a WR. He is a KR who also dabbles in RB/WR.

This is enough to never take anything you post seriously. This is so full of fail. Listen to how other players speak of him.

Some folks need to drop the #1 WR stuff. Based on what I always understood that to mean was the absolute best of the best. The outside guys that get doubled and still produce. That list is very short I'm the league, even with so much passing.

D. Thomas, Gordon, Dez, Megatron, Julio, Fitz(maybe)

That's basically the list. Harvin will be the number one 'weapon' on this team not named Beast. If you didn't cream yourself a tad watching him in the Super Bowl, I feel sorry for you, not being able to recognize special.

Also, saying that Lockette probably runs routes better than Percy Harvin is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. It hurt my brain a little

so thurmond gets caught cheating and then wants to tweet about how the seahawks haven't shown enough loyalty.
Good grief

 

[Atradees]

Finley has left Seattle without a contract.

This is an interesting twist. I’m told the #Seahawks are now interested in re-signing WR Sidney Rice, a salary cap casualty.

Vet minimum I would wager. I doubt other teams had much interest due to his injury issues.

I was expecting this and getting him back for cheap would be really nice.

People need to chill, I haven't made a decision. It's a visit. You know like college recruiting,same thing smh

walter thurmond III ‏@WaltThurm3 12h
It's never personal its business, just how the Hawks let red and everyone else walk. Obviously there is a reason I haven't signed back yet.

I dont see the disloyal talk. It is a business.

Ooooooh

Yeah-yuh! Would love this If the deal is right.

I would be pleased if Rice is signed cheap. Any WR drafted will likely take a couple years to develop, if they do. WR and offensive line are areas of need.

I wouldn't expect WT to sign with the Hawks, and if he goes anywhere I hope it is the Jags.

 

[SonicHawk]

You got to love the possibility of Melton.

I wonder what kind of contract he'll get? Another 1 year like MB? Coming of that ACL is hard.

What is wrong with those tweets? He is just saying Seahawks makes business decision that everyone is ok with - cutting players so he has the right to visit with teams and sign where he wants including the 49ers.

He is 100% correct. Doesn't sound like any hard feelings he is just telling fans to stop tweeting him junk about lack of loyalty etc

Hawks coaches and front office seem to develop players faster than most. Helps they seem to scout well. Considering what many Hawks players accomplished in just a few years in the league.

 

[Largent80]

It is early but as it stands right now we would be relying on Scruggs, Williams, Boatright, Brooks, Hill, Mayowa. and Cherrington (?) to fill the 3 spots vacated. Yeesh.

 

[ballard1951]

Thurmond sounds quite grumpy to me. Like he has no belief in a new contract with the Seahawks.

I dont know for sure but I havent heard anything where they have offered him one.
