What a week it was
All it took for the Seahawks to get busy in free agency was me being locked in one room (court) or another (jury) all week. The verdict in the trial where I was juror No. 35 was reached Friday. The verdict on the Seahawks’ maneuvers, well, that remains to be seen. Here, in reverse order, [...]
A preview of what’s to come
The Seahawks’ first offseason program under coach Pete Carroll and his staff got underway Monday. But rather than having the players huffing and puffing through one grueling drill after another, the first day was reserved for introductory meetings. “Just so we know what’s coming,” tight end John Carlson said with a smile. “The tough part [...]
One wow of a workout
To say that Joe Webb jumped on the chance to improve his draft stock during a Pro Day workout on Thursday isn’t just a bad pun, it doesn’t come close to telling just how impressive the University of Alabama-Birmingham quarterback-turned-wide-receiver was. Webb wasn’t even invited to the combine – as a QB or a wide-out, [...]
A little Q&A
We’re a week into the free-agency period, Pro Day workouts are ongoing at college campus across the country and ESPN.com has started a ticker to count down the days and hours until the first round of the NFL draft on April 22. Seems like a good time to dip into the mailbag again. So here [...]
Gray matter
Seahawks defensive backs coach Jerry Gray is on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2010. Gray, who joined the staff of new coach Pete Carroll in January, was a two-time All-American safety and Southwest Conference defensive player of the year at the University of Texas (1983-84) and then became a [...]
Trojan horse
Seventeen NFL teams, by unofficial logo count, were represented today at the University of Washington’s Pro Day. No contingent was larger, and more top-heavy, than the one from the Seahawks. Pete Carroll was there, the only head coach in attendance. John Schneider was there, the only general manager on hand. Not surprising. The Seahawks are [...]
Dawg day developments
Just back from the University of Washington Pro Day, where eight draft-eligible players from last season’s team and three former Huskies worked out for NFL scouts and coaches. The “stars” of the show were linebacker Donald Butler and Daniel Te’o-Nesheim – who could be an undersized end in a 4-3 defense or an oversized outside [...]
Reasoning behind Seneca trade
So, why did the Seahawks trade backup quarterback Seneca Wallace to the Cleveland Browns on Monday? New coach Pete Carroll fielded that exact question this morning during an appearance at the Business Journal Live series at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle. Asked if he would like to address that topic, Carroll cracked, “No.” But he [...]
A little Q&A
Free agency starts tonight, or tomorrow – depending on where you live and what you consider a stroke past midnight EST. But the vast majority of the questions this week concern the NFL draft and what the Seahawks might do with the sixth and 14th picks in the first round. So, let’s get to it. [...]
Ticket renewal: Online only

Renewals are being done strictly online this year, for several reasons. “There is nothing different about what we’re doing as far as the ability to renew online,” director of ticket sales and [...]
