Seahawks claim Kevin Ellison | ProFootballTalk.com

Might be an all right pick up.

*UPDATE*
Kevin Ellison was waived by the Seahawks on Thursday, June 24th and re-signed by the team on Tuesday, June 29th in order adjust "contractual issues".

I love this move. This guy can push for a starting job and kick out that bum Jamar Adams. Heavyyyyy hitter and is decent in coverage, yet another great move.

Another player the Seahawks got from the Chargers! Good player none the less, better stay away from the "drugs".

 

[Fenom]

Great pickup for the Seahawks. He has a very good chance of being the starting SS this season.

 

[Hawk096]

Like this pick-up a lot. Has a lot of potential just has to stay out of the trouble. He played under Carroll at USC so maybe he will have better luck than he did with Lendale!

Him and Thomas = Young future secondary stars. I like him better than Babs or they at least split time depending on the situation.

Any Questions???

As awesome as that is, I hate to say it but as of right now, Jackson got the last laugh...

When I first heard of this I thought he was just another camp body, but this kid has a legit chance.

There is going to be some solid competition at the SS position come training camp. You can not come out with a good player with so many potential packed players at one position.

And props to PC and JS on picking up another "character issue" guy. It's these bad asses that make good football players.

Looks like Ellison has already been cut because he failed his physical.

 

[SeahawkWag]

drugs in his system maybe?

Either that or an injury.

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

If he is injured then the Chargers could be in trouble. I don't think you can waive an injured player...

 

[SeahawkWag]

they can if it was not known by them

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

That wouldn't stop the filing of a grievance and the Chargers would still likely be on the hook for his salary.

At the very least it makes the Chargers look like a foolish organization for not knowing a player of theirs is injured.

 

[RockChalkSeahawk]

The whole being "cut" thing never was official. He was waived because of contract issues then resigned after. He is a Seahawk.

I'm glad he's sticking around.

This makes for great competition at a position of need: SS.

Carrol likes bigger safeties too, so I see him wining the job next to E. Thomas with babs and Chancellor coming in situational packages.

Good job team!

Don't count out Milloy...

He may be old and slower, but he still hits harder than hell and I can definitely see him in the mix at SS, if not the starter come game 1.

 

[szat]

Oh yeah! my bad, Miloy is in the mix too, great leader and could get the job. Carrol coached Miloy back at NE I believe.
