Seahawks Roster Cuts, Free Agency News and Rumors

PrintIt's a brand new day in the NFL and in Seahawks land and that means there are going to be some roster moves!!! The Hawks woke up, took a stretch, and called up a few veteran free agents on the street to bring in. Here's what's going on today (and I'll try to keep this thing updated):
-- Per John Clayton: "Andre Gurode's first visit is to the Seahawks. Six teams called. Tom Cable, the Seahawks OL coach, worked with him in college." G/C Gurode has made the last five Pro Bowls so it seems that he might be a good player. Intriguing development. Stay tuned.
-- Also Per John Clayton: "The Seahawks are bringing in fullback Mike Karney for a visit Tuesday. They looked at him before camp and kept in touch." According to this article from the Kent Reporter from a month or so ago, Karney came to Seattle, passed his physical, and expected that he'd get signed.
"I was hoping it was going to happen. I got a call early in the morning Tuesday by my agent, who told me that a situation came up (in Seattle) where I could go there, take a physical and sign. I was told to pack for training camp and head up. I took the first flight out (Tuesday) and thought that as long as I passed my physical that a deal was going to get done."
Karney explained why he hadn't yet been offered a deal:
"They just converted a couple tight ends to fullback and want to see if they can give them more time. My meeting went extremely well. My physical went well. I think they just want to see if these guys can get it done. If they can't, I think I will be the first guy they call."
Looks like he was right.
Karney is a former Pro-Bowl, All-Pro fullback, a local guy that only wants a one-year deal, and would be that massive, technical lead blocking fullback that I've been advocating for. On the other hand though, he's looking for a one-year deal. That means he's not part of the future, and he's not going to factor much down the road. The Hawks apparently took a look at some looks at their tight ends/fullbacks (Ryan Travis, released yesterday) and didn't see enough so now Karney is back. I actually would really like this move.
-- The Seahawks announced their final two roster cuts, DT Jay Alford and S Rickey Thenarse.

Who is kicked off the 53 man roster for Karney? Michael Robinson?
I liked the idea of a 20 lb heavier Robinson. If they both stay on the roster some how maybe Karney can mentor Robinson.

Move Portis to practice squad
With MikeRob as a possible 3rd QB if needed on gameday, Portis could go to PS. I’d risk him getting poached to free up a spot. Jacson had us carrying 3 QBs on his 53 man roster, but I’m hoping it’s only two.
I say cut Jackson and leave Portis on the 53, along with CW. That'd get you your 2 QBs.

FWIW, Eric Williams says no way Portis survives on the PS.

I believe that
He’s looked very promising in his limited time with the team. Someone else would snatch him up.
Anyone watching the preseason
knows Portis will not clear waivers.

It’s 53 men, but 54 if you want a 3rd QB, right? I think everyone will always carry 3 now.

They could see it that way.
But it’s possible that they could be looking at him for depth for the interior spots since, like I said in Danny’s original fanshot, Unger had a pretty serious toe injury last year and both Gallery and Okung have battled injuries over their careers.
But do you really think Gurode is going to sign here as a backup when he could start in Chicago and other places?

I'll try to keep things more sunshine and lollipops for you.
But the reason I disagreed is because I’ve thought Unger has played decently and I think he’d be a bigger improvement at RG than at C.
I thought I read somewhere that Gurode is much better at center than guard
Just throw in a few neutral comments and maybe 1 or 2 positive ones for every dozen or so negative ones ;)

I haven’t heard any such statements from our staff about leaving Carpenter “out to dry the whole pre-season to test him.” If that is actually the case, I would somehow feel a bit better (though I’m not sure I should). When and by whom was that statement made? Any chance it was playing the PR game so we don’t all freak out about our 1st round pick getting manhandled?

Over at Blogging the Boys
They were talking about some kind of mental problem Gurode has occasionally had with making snaps, almost like a Chuck Knoblauch kind of situation. I hadn’t heard of that one and wouldn’t know what to do about it, but in any event it makes it sound like maybe playing guard would do him some good.
Also, to my great surprise, for the most part, the comment section on Blogging the Boys was literate, insightful, respectful and balanced in its analysis. I’m trying to wrap my head around this. I expected to see another Niners Nation over there.

Head of catering.
Already bumping someone else
assuming KJ was going to get cut, with the KJ trade for McDonald. Someone else needed to get cut for the McDonald “look”.
It's going to be
Vai or Tommy at RB
Another OL, CB, WR, or maybe Konz
Considering how many carries he's been getting
I don’t think it’s Tommy Gunz.
Konz would seem a likely candidate except that he’s been getting snaps in the LEO rotation, so who knows. Kennard Cox? He seems like he’s become somewhat irrelevant with the glut of young DBs.
My guess is that they'll hang onto Tommy Gunz until final cuts.
That way he can take the majority of the carries in our final game and not put any more wear and tear on Lynch, Force of Leon.

I don't really get bringing in older vets with no shot at being on the team in the future.
Why not let the youth play and learn from their mistakes ?

I think they want the youth to be able to play as much as possible.
But the line has been prohibitively bad. It’s really become, either accept a lost season before week 1 or attempt to rectify the problem.

I think that we are going to see a few more veteran signings.
It just going to be a slower move towards greater numbers/percentages of the team of drafted guys and key free agents as well as undrafted free agents who were signed by the front office and smaller percentages of Holgren-era players (rapidly approaching 0) and the backwash of the rest of the NFL.
Basically they are pulling a La Forge and rolling under the closing door after the coolant leak of too many young guys taking too many lumps.

Sorry to nit-pick, but "oft-injured"?
Unger’s had one injury. It cost him a season, but it was only one injury. That said, I totally agree with assessment of Gurode’s value to us. Personally, I’d be happy to see Gurode at RG helping Unger with line calls. Moffitt could then be depth. Admittedly, I have no idea if Gurode or Gallery is the better choice to help with line calls, but I lean toward the pro-bowl center to train our center.
Moffitt and Gibson both provides depth at C
Also Gallery already helps Unger with line calls, though I don’t know how much help he is

Unger's injury wasn't even one that would keep him out a full season.
It just worked out logistically to put him on IR.
How many teams are keeping 6 WRs and 4 TEs?
I could see us trying to put Baldwin on the practice squad and losing him.
Taylor Mays was a 2nd rounder that has been shipped out. Could we ship out Golden Tate for a 7th?

No way Baldwin doesn't make this team
He has the most catches outside TE position and a KR TD.
If anything happened to Leon or if we needed some help at slot with Tate continuing to stink, Baldwin would be ideal.
So if McDonald replaces Dexter Davis on Jacson's 53 man roster
Who does Gurode take over and who does Karney kick off? I bet Gurode will take over Fanaika’s spot

A point of strategy would be to release Pep now

Branch
I haven’t been overly impressed by his play so far. Small sample size and all. McDonald did play NT in college…
I like Branch
What’s not to like about 3 blocked passes so far in limited pre-season snaps?
Blocked passes are nice but not exactly what you're looking for out of the 3-tech

Were there other people from SA besides Chris? (I wrote like two articles there so don’t count me)

Excited for Gurode.
Karney would be cool too.

I really hope Gurode happens...
I’ve never been impressed with Unger. Dude spent more time his rookie year in the offensive backfield than he did in the defensive. I know they say he’s gained some strength since then, but he’s been blown up this pre-season (along with everyone else, I guess).

Our o line looks like the Ducks of old…

I know the panthers really love cam newton.
But are they just injuring all of his competition now?
Was Gurode cut for cap reasons?
I know Dallas was over the cap. I’d take Karney over Mike Rob. I like Robinson but we need a FB who can block. I read something the other day where Steven Jackson was saying that he was not happy to see Karney leave.
Gurode would be a huge upgrade over Unger. I’ve been pulling for Unger for a while but he really has not shown much in his time here. Plus, god forbit we have decent depth on the line like Unger.
They did ask him to restructure
He was due 5.5 mil this year and 6.5 next on his contract. Other contributing factors include that he elected to have knee surgery late enough that it ensured he would miss the beginning of camp, and there’s reportedly an UDFA that has been playing very well in his absence at center.
it aas all about the money
The guy behind him was young and ~5mil cheaper. Dallas thought it was not a big talant gap/loss, and worth saving the money and continuing with their youth movement on the o line.

Right
DT Jay Alford and S Rickey Thenarse.
No surprise

I had forgotten that Alford was around.
I’m a little surprised he didn’t see more time, he’s a 3-tech type isn’t he?
Forgot Alford was even on the roster
In my mind I had combined him and Wilkerson into one guy, let’s call him Jimmay Wilkerford.
John Carlson is out for the season
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Yup
TE John Carlson will need surgery for a torn labrum, Pete Carroll said, and is likely out for the season. #Seahawks

My wife is concerned that he won't be able to cuddle properly with his torn labrum..
She is putting him on her practice squad.
Whoa:
James Carpenter and Breno Giacomini split reps with the first team at right tackle. Carroll said they will compete for starting job.

They are Jerking around Carpenter...
The Jerking Jerkers that Jerk.
Carpenter's play clearly warranted this.
It’s not jerking around: it’s smart management.
