Colbert cut

[Hawk096]

Keary Colbert has been let go. He was aquired by the Seahawks from the Broncos for a fifth-round pick back in September. He had seven receptions for a 7.4 average per reception.

I'm sure there are plenty of teams that would love our drafts picks if we are just giving them away...

 

[Fenom]

Obviously someone messed up with this guy. It seems like they just went out expecting to throw draft picks away and hoping to get a good WR in return.

We used a 1st Round pick on Deion Branch and if he doesn't stay healthy for a while and produce for the offense he will be a waste just like Colbert.

He was getting open down field, but the guy has stone hands....

 

[Hawk096]

I think if we get a good enough pick I think we might take Michael Crabtree. If we did that I think Branch's days are numbered then.

Deion's day's are already numbered. I see him having a few more years left like maybe 3 more then he is done. His body just can't handle it anymore, but i really do hope that we do go out and draft crabtree that would be a great start to building for the future in a position that has devasted us this year.

 

[Hawk096]

We signed Trent Shelton back to the practice squad and promoted Courtney Taylor to active roster.

 

[Fenom]

Taylor for Colbert? Wow...that's when you know your team is fucked at WR...

 

[Cole]

...and promoted Courtney Taylor to active roster.

And, I have no idea why.

I see Branch taking Engram's spot in the slot after he calls it quits.

 

[Hawk096]

Branch will have to take a pay cut and stay healthy to fill Engram's shoes.

 

[bobflipaburger]

Yeah, but he has all of the attributes to be a good slot receiver... That's a good spot for a short quick guy like him.

 

[Hawk096]

Totally agree, but it's going to come down to the money and his health. Since we acquired him he hasn't played a full year. Plus his injuries aren't anything minor. Trust me I want to see Branch live up to the first-round pick material, but not going to bet on it.

 

[bobflipaburger]

Well when he has been healthy he's been great for us... I'll never forget him stripping that ball from Jared Allen the first game he played for us.

 

[Hawk096]

But the key there is WHEN. You can be great all you want, but if you miss time it's not going to help. Plus I wouldn't say he's been great. I think he has done a lot of help for us, but he still has his injuries and that takes away from great.

 

[bobflipaburger]

Well it's not like he's alone... especially this year.

 

[Hawk096]

I like Branch a lot I just don't think he is worth the amount we are paying him. If he restructures his deal awesome, but if not we need the cap!

 

[bobflipaburger]

Well 2010 is an uncapped year and We have a billionaire owner lol

 

[Hawk096]

Bob that is a good point, but first it's not for sure it's uncapped and secondly 09 is capped lol.
