They probably have an eye on some player that they want to bring in They have Miller, McCoy, McGrath, Helfet and now Willson on the roster. The timing just seems weird. There's no harm in keeping him around, at least through rookie camp. Must be more to it. _________________ @SeahawkGreg "I will be thrilled with 10 wins....

Don't go there bra,  Tebow is not going to be a seahawk! We have plenty as is. I am not sure why so many want to bring in more QBs. Fells could pop back on the team, it happens. I hope so!

in all seriousness though they must feel pretty good about Willson if they aren't even keeping him into camp.

Wilson took some hard hits and (did the right thing) and acted like it was nothing. He will be around! Everyone else will be wearing a cap or holding on to a clipboard.
Now will some other team take Wilsons old weapon (Fells)? Yes.

The drafted rookies don't count against the roster until they sign their contracts, which I don't think any have yet . . . It wouldn't be too surprising to start to see many of these guys sign deals. With the new CBA there isn't a lot of wiggle room to negotiate these deals and the further back you are drafted, the less room there is, so with our not having a first rounder, I think we'll sign our rookies relatively quickly. _________________

I think the Ravens have all of there's already signed. The Bears too, IIRC. _________________ <A>

Drafted players DO count against the 90 man now. That started last year. It's also the reason they are signing so early. In the past teams would put off signing picks because it was a way of have extra players before training camp. Not anymore. The hard rookie scale is another reason picks are signing in May, but really most picks had a hard scale anyway. Here's an article that supports that from NFL.Com: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8 ... 90-playersQuote: The 90-man roster will include active, inactive, practice-squad, exempt and reserve-list players. It also will house unsigned draft choices and franchise free agents, per Aiello.
