A really underrated signing. Remember how no one really knew what the plan was at DT for a while, because Branch was a free agent who hung out there for a while, and the Seahawks didn't make any quick moves. Eventually Branch signed with Buffalo and the Hawks signed Tony McDaniel. The general consensus was that he was an enormous dude with some talent who had just never really capitalized.
Then he is hurt pretty much all camp and it looked like maybe he will not even make the team. He got healthy at the end of camp, made the squad and went on to start every game (I believe) for an all-time great defense in relative anonymity. He is a true hard ass out there, and he plays very tough. Outside of one stupid personal foul and the TB game in which he and others just didn't tackle very well, he was great all season. Great in the playoffs.
I would imagine he probably gets raided by a team with money to spend looking to capture some seahawk magic, but I hope we can keep him. If he goes, he deserves to be remembered as one helluva 1 year rental.
