It looks like the Seahawks are SERIOUS about getting back to the top of the NFC West by signing the top prize in free agency, TJ Houshmandzadeh! This is a great sign for all Seahawks fans who were nervous the team could enter into a rebuilding period with last season's down year. With this move the Seahawks show that they believe (as we all do!) that last season was a fluke and there will be no rebuilding as we aim to take back the West!With a 5-year deal worth $40M and $15M guaranteed, Houshmandzadeh chose Seattle over Minnesota and Cincy. Housh will be an immediate impact player and I'm sure Matt is just drooling over the thought of having him to throw to! Houshmandzadeh told the press that he chose Seattle because he felt it was the best fit for him and that he was excited to play with a great QB in Matt Hasselbeck. Housh will be a perfect fit in our West Coast offense with his exceptional route running ability and great hands!
Housh played at Oregon State and is familiar with the NW. Seahawks Nation welcomes him with extreme excitement!
With the signing of Housh, the million dollar question now (literally) is, "What do the Seahawks do with the #4 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft?" Well, this basically opens up a ton of options for the Hawks. By bringing in a player like Housh to beef up the WR depth chart, we do not necessarily have to go the direction of drafting Michael Crabtree and use that pick to draft another need such as DT or OL. Now don't get me wrong, I would love to see them still pick up "Crab" with the #4 pick and create a superstar WR corp! Imagine, Housh on one side, Crab on the other, Branch coming out of the slot and Burleson being the #4 receiver in an offense that sees a lot of 4 WR formations....WOW!!!! One can dream eh?
It will be interesting to see what the Hawks do with the pick now. Trade down, pick another need, still pick Crab, who knows? It will be a very exciting draft for Seattle though, even more so now with Housh becoming a Seahawk!
GO SEAHAWKS!!!!
