From what I have read on NFL.com and Foxsports TJ sort of had an attitude before his release. Not saying he is a problem child, but he didn't go all out. I rather have a young kid trying to prove he belongs and is totally motivated.

Gus, You did read the long list of receiver not named Monk I posted a little bit a ago and their post-32 numbers right? EVERY good receiver that I looked up was good until 35 or so.
Seattle is, in my opinion, being turned into what Carroll wants.. which is to get "his guys" in there.... Mike Williams is one of "his guys" and Housh and him didn't hit it off I understand... and why tie up the future cap space when the team is rebuilding?... hence the riff and the cut..
But clearly... everyone needs to understand the Housh has had 6 CONSECUTIVE seasons with 900 yards-plus... if one of our Skins had those kind of numbers he'd be the greatest receiver we've seen in almost 20 years.
Truthfyl, I'm not saying Housh is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but how the hell does someone compare ROYDELL WILLIAMS to him?? Huh?? lol ... the guy has 200 yards more in his CAREER than Housh had LAST year at age 32 (when he was beginning to fossilize!)
He'd be great for us this year and next IMO... he was the #1/#2 receiver with the Bengals... I think everyone has pigeon-holed him as a slot guy... but he can be a #2 just as well...
I don't see ANY negative here. Seattle is picking up the tab! lol .. I mean... 6 CONSECUTIVE 900 yard seasons for vet minimum?? lol ... I'll drop it now 'cause it's pointless to argue over it... but whew... Roydell Williams? I get your point... and agree that's funny
