UFA's from Seattle

[Stuck in TX]

Now that we know who will be our HC next season, lets look at some of his former players who he is probably comfortable with, knows, and may want to try to pick up to help the transition from the Gibbs era. Given the needs of our team (WR, O line, CB, #2TE, DT......), the list looks pretty tempting if I may say so. Only an idiot would think that we would get the whole list but I would not be surprised to see a few follow Zorn to D.C.


Here's a list of the Hawks who will be free agents if not signed by March 1.

Unrestricted free agents
LB Kevin Bentley
PK Josh Brown
DT Chuck Darby
WR D.J. Hackett
TE Bennie Joppru
ILB Niko Koutouvides
OT Sean Locklear
TE Marcus Pollard
CB Marcus Trufant
OG Floyd Womack
DT Ellis Wyms

Restricted Free agents
RB Alvin Pearman
FB Leonard Weaver.

I wouldn't mind Brown to replace Shazam and Womack for OL depth.. I'll be ok with Hackett but am holding out for Ocho Cinco.

Great post! Didn't even think about these possibilities. I'll take a Josh Brown here, a Marcus Trufant there, a Sean Locklear with my underwear. LOL

CJ = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

DJ = $$$ and experience in a WC offense

i think we need to look at who zorn will try to bring in for a xtra teacher and a quality back up who has experience in this system so we don't have a bunch of qb's trying to learn the system and no one knowing the system. the list looks to be out of ....

Matt Hasselbeck
Trent Dilfer
Senaca Wallace
Brock Huard
Charlie Frye

Brock Huard or Dilfer would be a good pick-up. Can anyone see Dilfer as a future coordinator of some kind later on in his life? Geez the dude went to Baltimore, the 49ers, and i think a few other teams to help adjust to new systems. Especially with Collins gone, I think Zorn will try to bring over one of his regulars to further help JC adjust yet again. Probably an older vet who we can get cheap.

I think Dilfer might come, as the QB coach. He proved last year in SanFran that he no longer has the physical tools to be an NFL QB. However, he is a great teacher, won a SB as the starting QB, and is a tremendously smart guy. Also, Zorn is a lefty and JC didn't have great success with a lefty mentor before (MB?). Dilfer would be a great choice.
As for the Hawk FA's, wouldn't want a single one.

DJ Hackett had a nice season and is very reliable WR. But I think he's pretty old. Trufant would be real nice but I doubt they're going to let him leave Seattle. We just need to draft and quit chasing FA's.

DJ Hackett will be 28 this year. That is not pretty old.

If we could get Marcus Trufant that would fill a big hole but cost lots of $$$. He's probably staying put with Seattle.

The onley ones worth discussing are Josh Brown (will be re-signed for a heafty price), Marcus Trufant (push comes to shove he will be franchised) and D.J. Hackett (most likely to be signed).

I remember this same thread but about Todd Collins two years ago.

And yes I used the search feature. Newbies take notice.

If/when we land Trufant we wouldn't HAVE to draft a corner so high for depth. We could then go for some O-line, WR, or LB help in the 2nd and 3rd rounds
