Seahawks Talking to Former Jags DT Nate Collins

April 15th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

Former Jaguars defensive tackle Nate Collins is visiting the Seahawks today and Monday, according to a league source.

Collins was with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they removed their qualifying offer. He’s now an unrestricted free agent.

Collins, 24, is a 6-foot-2, 296-pound former University of Virginia player who had 10 tackles and a hal-fsack in 12 games last season.

Collins is facing a single charge of possession of marijuana in Virginia. Collins was arrested earlier this offseason following a traffic stop in Northern Virginia where he was pulled over for an illegal window tint.

The officer discovered an odor or marijuana and marijuana was found after he consented to a vehicle search.

Hawks Bring Back CB Marcus Trufant

April 9th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

The Seahawks have brought back CB Marcus Trufant, who had been released for salary cap purposes on March 7.

Reports say it’s a one-year deal. He was the 11th overall pick of the 2003 NFL Draft, and has 610 tackles, two sacks and 21 interceptions with 100 passes defensed during his nine seasons with the Seahawks, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors following the 2007 season.

That season also earned Trufant a six-year, $50.2 million contract extension that was scheduled to pay him $7.3 million in total compensation this season.

The 31-year-old Trufant finished 2011 on injured reserve with a back injury anad will compete for a nickel corner role with the Seahawks, who are projected to start 2011 Pro Bowler Brandon Browner and 2011 fifth round pick Richard Sherman on the outside next season.

Carroll Says He Wants to Wait for Rice to Be 100 Percent Before He’s on the Field

April 3rd, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in Injuries, News

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said in an interview with CBSSports.com that he wants wide receiver Sidney Rice to be 100 percent healthy before he returns to the field. Carroll said at the NFL Annual Meeting that Rice, who had surgery on both shoulders this offseason, also had a minor knee procedure done.

“I saw him last week, and he’s working out hard,” Carroll said. “He’s making his way back, and he feels good about it.” Carroll is counting on Rice to make a full recovery, and he should do well with new quarterback Matt Flynn. “This is a really big deal to us to get Sidney right,” Carroll said.

“I’m not playing him until he’s right. We’re going to wait and make sure that he’s had the time to work out and be strong enough. It’s all in regard to how good of a player he is. He’s really a talented kid. He just hasn’t had the kind of seasons back to back to back to show it. There’s no missing that he’s a really talented kid. We’re going to do a really good job of that to get him back and get him right.”

The Seahawks today came to terms with free agent offensive lineman Frank Omiyale.

Originally selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Tennessee Tech, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Omiyale appeared in one game over two seasons with the Falcons before he was waived and claimed by the Carolina Panthers. Omiyale started one of 10 games over two seasons with the Panthers.

Signed to a four-year, $12.5 million contract by the Bears on February 28, 2009, Omiyale started 28 of 32 games over the 2009 and 2010, including some games at left tackle, before playing in primarily a reserve role in 2011.

Released by the Bears on March 1st, Omiyale paid a free agent visit to the Seahawks prior to the start of the 2012 league year.

Seahawks Nab Free Agent QB Matt Flynn for 3 Yrs, $26 Million

March 18th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

The second biggest free agent QB on the market is off it.

The Seattle Seahawks have come to terms with free agent quarterback Matt Flynn, this according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Reports say the deal is worth $26 million with $10 million guaranteed for three seasons.

The former Packers QB had spoken with the Dolphins, and many had him penciled in as the team he would go to with former OC Joe Philbin now the new head coach in Miami.

Instead he will be the new starter under coach Pete Caroll, who last season had to sit through Tarvaris Jackson as his starter for 14 games, and Charlie Whitehurst for the other two.

Flynn last year in spot duty for Aaron Rodgers threw for 518 yards with 6 TD’s and two picks. He had a Packers record 480 yards with 6 TD’s and a pick in the regular season finale vs the Lions.
