Leon: Second team All-Pro
The Seahawks weren’t snubbed when the All-Pro team was announced after all. Leon Washington made the second team as the kick returner. That spot on the first team went to Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears. Asked the week of the team’s divisional playoff game what the difference was between the two, Washington laughed and [...]
Senior Bowl: Unlocking Locker?
Much of the NFL world is in Mobile this week for the Senior Bowl practices, including Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and the team’s entire scouting department.

Clemons, Trufant, Thomas tabbed
Defensive end Chris Clemons, cornerback Marcus Trufant and free safety Earl Thomas have been named to the All-NFC West team, as selected by ESPN divisional blogger Mike Sando.

All-Pro perspective

Wednesday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Matt Hasselbeck. The question concerning the veteran quarterback has gone from will they re-sign him to when will they re-sign him? That was the word today from coach Pete Carroll, who said during his season-ending news conference that he and general manager John Schneider already have met [...]
Carroll: Re-signing Hasselbeck ‘is a priority’
The Seahawks already have had discussions with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck about re-signing with the team, coach Pete Carroll said in his just-completed season-ending news conference. Carroll went farther than that when asked if he was proceeding as if Hasselbeck will be the starter next season. “I don’t think there’s any other way to look at [...]
