Posted in I have to admit i’m getting a bit restless. A day after the Seahawks franchise best passer signed with the Tennessee Titans and Pete Carroll almost made us forget all about it by hauling in Sidney Rice and Robert Gallery; the Seahawks wire was mostly minor transactions.
Free Agency technically does not technically begin until Friday (now), so expect a ton more activity by a team who has to spend money and needs to sign a bunch of players.
As it stands, here’s a quick breakdown of the depth chart and where the Seahawks will most likely be signing people.
Quarterback
Tarvaris Jackson
Charlie Whitehurst
Breakdown: One
Running Back
Marshawn Lynch
Justin Forsett
Leon Washington
Breakdown: None needed, one might be added
Fullback
Michael Robinson
Breakdown: Could use an upgrade
Wide Receiver
Sidney Rice
Mike Williams
Deon Butler
Ben Obomanu
Golden Tate
Breakdown: Possibly one, probably none
Tight End
John Carlson
Cameron Morrah
Anthony McCoy
Breakdown: Definitely will add a No. 2 tight end
Left Tackle
Russell Okung
Tyler Polumbus
Breakdown: One backup
Left Guard
Robert Gallery

Breakdown: One backup
Left End

Breakdown: Multiple Backups
Right End
Red Bryant

Breakdown: Possibly One Starter, At Least One Backup
Defensive Tackle
Colin Cole,
Alan Branch,
Junior Siavii
Breakdown: One Starter, one backup
Outside Linebacker

Middle Linebacker

Cornerback
Marcus Trufant
Walter Thurmond
Richard Sherman
Roy Lewis

A lot of roster filling that still needs to be done with several starters on defense needing to be finalized.

A List of all Seahawks undrafted rookie free agent signings.
Alright, I’m going to help you out.
1.Kris Durham is a drafted wide receiver from Georgia that worked out with Whitehurst during the offseason. He is in the mix, no backups needed at all.
2. Anthony McCoy is your new blocking tight end, but you will still see a lot of Morrah and Carlson on the field together.
3.The LEO backup to Clemons is D. Davis, you still might see Seattle try and bring in a 3-4 linebacker to play the position.
4. R.Bryant is your starter at right end, and A. Branch is his backup. But I would expect Branch to play multiple spots.
5. Hawthorne is probably the most logical “backup” to Tatupu. Leroy Hill was signed, past sins have been forgotten apparently. You also still have KJ Wright and Malcolm Smith in the mix at linebacker. If a middle linebacker is brought in, Tatupu is more than likely a salary cut casualty.
6. Walter Thurmond III has been given an opportunity of a lifetime It’s his job to lose at the moment. I would be shocked if they brought in a “starter”, probably will depend on cap casualties from other teams. That’s a big IF. Personally, I think they should get an insurance policy if Thurmond fails, but they did draft a ton of athletic hopefuls. I would shoot for Carlos Rogers on a two year deal, but I don’t know if he fits the system.
7. M. Legree is your backup at safety, Chancellor’s job to lose. Look for them to draft one next year. Hopefully I’m wrong, and Chancellor excels.
Oh yeah NFL teams aren’t designating emergency QB’s, so look for M. Portis, or Z. Lee, or hopefully both to be on the practice squad. Again this is a spot that will be dependent on what other team’s cut.
