Seahawks Sign Putzier

The Seahawks signed Jeb Putzier to a one-year deal, a free-agent tight end who most recently played for the Houston Texans.

I like this move. Putz..ier is a decent receiving tight end. Kind of what I call a "company man" player. Above average, won't ask for too much money, shows up to work on time. Something that was very clear but I haven't had much of a chance to talk about is that most of Pollard's value came from the Hawks' system. Nothing Pollard did last season can't be expected of Putzier this season. Take that how you will.

At this point, Seattle is entering the draft with no true need except kicker. How `bout that?

I think this an insurance policy for
whatever TE is drafted on day 1. Like you mentioned John rookie TE's generally do not make an impact right away, so it makes sense to have a veteren break him in.

I like it.
Adding depth at a position that has none is never a bad thing.

This also allows for a 3rd rounder or so to be an "upside" TE like Jermichael Finley.

Hey, as long as he's cheap
we're better off now than we were.  I don't recall him being much of a blocker, but the Broncos thought pretty highly of him as a receiving TE for a while.

Someone has to be able
to make some kind of cool hybrid Mariners/Seahawks jersey "Putz(ier)"

New Seattle slogan
"If Putz is good, Putzier must be better."
