Seahawks aquire TE Kellen Winslow from Bucs.

Any thoughts? He's better than Carlson IMO.

solid pick up. i am more comfortable with miller blocking now

When healthy I think he's not only better than Carlson, but better than Miller too. Hell, he can be an elite TE. But we're not expecting him to be, I see no downside. The Bucs were lucky to ge anything for him, Its a conditional pick but I doubt its anything more than a 5th rounder.

I think its a great pick up....Agree with Bob, when healthy, he's an elite TE. I put him up there with Graham and Gronkowski.... If only we had Brees or Brady.

7th rounder, could become a 6th. Love it.

I see this as 1 of 2 things.

1. If healthy, he adds some depth to our recieving core to help with injuries.
2. Or if everyone is healthy, he' just a great comfort blanket for Flynn or Wilson if either start to throw to.

Thank you for your two cents bucfan. Very insightful stuff.

Have fun with Dallas Clark blocking for Blount and Martin. I'm sure that will work out well.

Lazy work ethic , poor attitude, prima donna all come to mind far before I think elite ? He's a perfect fit with Miller should he decide that were actually good enough for his talents.

 

[bobflipaburger]

He's going to have to work hard to learn a new playbook and he's sure to have a chip on his shoulder. Plus PC has that locker room like a cult almost with how much they're buying into what he's doing. They'll get Winslow to drink the punch too.

And if he doesn't, then his ass will get the boot real quick. It's a low risk move. If we cut him, all it costs us is a 7th round pick. If he gets his head out of his ass, and it pans out, then we made out like bandits. Id rather have him than Shainco. He's only 28 and has way more potential.

Winslow will be calling int to NFL 32 on ESPN 2. I think the show starts at 3:00, not sure when he'll be calling in.

I'm at work.... I'm sure Softy or Mitch will have him on this week. I'll just podcast it.

"I'm a mother fucking SOLDJA!!!" lol

Didn't happen today, he is apparently on a flight to Seattle and he will be on the show tomorrow.

Amazing talent as a catching TE, not so much as a blocker. His character issues come to mind first though as well, but given the price, its worth the gamble. If he buys in, he will post 900 yards, and worth half a dozen TD's, game changer, if he doesnt, then he's gone and we loose a Gregg Suggs.

Whats this about "fear and loathing" trashing of apartment though, is he just a dick?

Tampa beat writer talks about Winslow and some of the misconceptions and stigmas surrounding him. Good listen.

I love these low risk transactions. If he makes the 53-man roster, the most they will have to give up is a 6th and the least is a 7th. If he doesn't make the roster, they give up nothing.

A 6th round pick for 75 catches? Sounds good to me.

Here's some artwork I just made today, see whatcha think I know it's off topic but I did it for my laptop desktop.

Nice dude, I wish I knew my way around photoshop better. When I open photoshop, I might as well be Tim Tebow looking at a vagina because I have no idea what to do.
