bkc Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...y-for-seahawks/ Obtaining Whitehurst proves costly for Seahawks Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2010 6:02 PM ET For better or worse, the first years of the Pete Carroll era in Seattle will be defined by Charlie Whitehurst. ESPN's John Clayton reports that the Seahawks have obtained Whitehurst, a restricted free agent, from the Chargers. Seattle will move down 20 picks in the second round of the 2010 draft and give up a third-round pick in 2011 to get San Diego's third-string quarterback. But that's not the costly part. The Seahawks have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Whitehurst that is expected to pay him $5 million-per-year. Yikes. Whitehurst has not attempted a regular season pass as a pro, but he should fairly soon with that contract. Give Carroll and G.M. John Schneider credit for targeting their guy and having the cajones to go get him. They just better be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numark Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 trade for that hassleback guy. They are not going into camp with 2 quaterbacks getting over 5 mil a season. Sorry, you don't get a 3rd string quarterback and sign him to a 2 year 10 million dollar deal to backup your aging quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 does this mean Hass is available? Also, wasn't Whitehurst tendered at his original round? Why did Seattle swap 2nd round picks then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 does this mean Hass is available? That is what I am saying. You have to assume so. NO way they are paying whitehurst 5 mil to sit on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Don't forget about Cleveland...They could easily take him at #7. Yeah but they have brought in free agent QBs...... I am not 100 percent he is going to be there....I just think it highly raises the percentages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_soulja Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This is a mess...CODY BETTER STILL BE AVAILABLE...ALONG WITH THE BILLS NOT DRAFTING JIMMY LEAF...I MEAN CLAUSON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 does this mean Hass is available? Also, wasn't Whitehurst tendered at his original round? Why did Seattle swap 2nd round picks then? Whitehurst had a third-round tender, but Seattle didn't have a third-round pick -- they traded it to Philly last year. 2011 No. 3 would be less valuable than this year's, so the 'Hawks had to sweeten the deal.

Captain Hindsight Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 does this mean Hass is available? Also, wasn't Whitehurst tendered at his original round? Why did Seattle swap 2nd round picks then? I think seattle didnt have a third this year so new compensation was needed....looks like SD made a good deal at face value tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think Seattle now uses their first rounder on a receiver for Whitehurst, Dez Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortured Soul Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 On the bright side, I think it takes Seattle out of the running for Locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
