Seahawks, Chargers and ESPN all haven't confirmed the Whitehurst deal yet

Seahawkaddicts.com is saying "ESPN is scrolling that Seattle receives a 2010 3rd Round pick as part of the deal." Anyone hear anything else?

Well that would change things a bit.

That'd be awesome.

I think I’m going to stop commenting on things until they settle down some. Just like Frankie Goes to Hollywood says, “relax.”

If we actually did get a 3rd rounder out of it, I’d be stoked. The trade would suddenly sound much shrewd-er. We’ll have to wait and see.

I sure hope there's more to the deal than what's been announced

I know I have been trying to be real optimistic about the new front office’s deals of late but I have to admit next year’s 3rd round pick is not even close to being a 20 spot move up in the 2nd round.

What do you suppose they mean by "scrolling"?

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 8:39 PM PDT reply actions

My guess is that it's on the ticker across the bottom of the screen.

by Chirp on Mar 17, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions

But I didn't see it on ESPN or ESPN News.

I may have missed it.

God

I hope it wasn’t a mistake. I would love their 3rd!

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 8:43 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't know

I actually haven’t seen a damn thing on ESPN about Whitehurst. On ESPN.com the only stuff I have heard is about what has already been reported… I don’t think seahawkaddicts.com is that reliable but who knows since the trade hasn’t been officially announced.

Also if this were true

we would be giving the equivalent of the 91st overall pick, which is the Chargers 3rd round pick.

Basically, this is how the math works:

270 points
-136 points (the value of their third)
=134 points (which is mid way between their third round pick and the next pick)

somebody on the seattletimes forum said they read the thing seahawks addicts is talking about on the bottom of ESPN

God No

A scout said earlier that he’d be an easy 6th or 7th round pick if his helmet wasn’t orange

It just said that John Clayton as reporting

that the Seahawks received The Chargers 3rd round pick in 2011

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:16 PM PDT reply actions

on the ticker thingy

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Well this makes me feel a lot better about the trade, if true

by twocolorcrayon on Mar 17, 2010 9:18 PM PDT up reply actions

So, what is this John Clayton reporting, anyway?

Someone messed up somewhere.

by Chirp on Mar 17, 2010 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Sounds like some sortof typo?

by chrees on Mar 17, 2010 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions

If you have espn2, turn it there

that is where i saw it.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:25 PM PDT up reply actions

But it also said the deal is close to being done, not done.

Maybe I misread it. I will look again…

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions

I've been watching ESPN2 this whole time and I haven't seen it still!

Is it under the lead or NFL? I have DVR so i will just rewind

i think the nfl

i looked up from my computer and saw it.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:30 PM PDT up reply actions

I'll just wait until one of the teams report it.

I’m hoping that THEY know whose third is getting traded.

by Chirp on Mar 17, 2010 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions

thats probably the best bet...

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions

Well that's quite a bit different than what 710ESPN was reporting when Clayton was on earlier today.

by BrianL on Mar 17, 2010 9:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah

It’s weird and maybe someone missed typed it on ESPNEWS, but I have seen it twice now.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions

mistyped*

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah what ESPN is saying is contradicting what Clayton said on the air.

by BrianL on Mar 17, 2010 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions

The Channel?

This is complete BS! All I keep seeing is the Ron Washingotn thing and the Derek Anderson thing and the Cliff Lee thing!

by Roy Weaver Stuckey on Mar 17, 2010 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions

I just saw it on the ticker

be patient.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:39 PM PDT up reply actions

I am watching the channel: ESPNEWS

by Roy Weaver Stuckey on Mar 17, 2010 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions

ok now it should say

nfl on the left hande side.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Yup, here was the original tweet 710 put out which backs up what I heard on the rado

John Clayton: Seahawks acquire Charlie Whitehurst from SD for 2011 3rd RD pick, swap 2010 2nd Rd picks. Then sign him for 2 yrs/$10 Mil. WOW

by BrianL on Mar 17, 2010 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Let's just hope what ESPNEWS is reporting right now is true

but I guess hold judgement

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Whatever

I guess I’m just being too hopeful, that we salvage a potentially shitty trade.

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Ok, just saw it again on ESPNEWS

John Clayton’s name was attached to it..

by Blake Jensen on Mar 17, 2010 9:32 PM PDT reply actions

It says....

Seahawks close to acquiring QB Charlie Whitehurst from Chargers for swap of 2nd-round draft picks in 2010 and and Chargers’ 3rd round 2011 draft pick, John Clayton reports….

Sounds like that is more likely to be an error as the Chargers moving up in the current draft isn’t worth their 2011 3rd round pick and the equivalent of a current 3rd round pick

by Roy Weaver Stuckey on Mar 17, 2010 9:45 PM PDT reply actions

The ticker is wrong.

Here’s Sando’s writeup

The teams will swap second-round draft picks and the Seahawks will give up a third-round pick in 2011. The Seahawks have the 40th choice in the draft and the Chargers had the 60th.
