Sidney Rice’s first season with the Seattle Seahawks didn’t go as anyone planned. The free-agent prize made just 32 receptions for 484 yards and two touchdowns, hardly the kind of production the club expected when they paid him No. 1-receiver money, injuries contributed to his problems, and they’ll be an issue for him this offseason. Rice, who was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 30 after suffering two concussions in a span of three weeks, will now be on the shelf following shoulder surgery. Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times reports Rice has had surgery to repair an problem that kept him out of the first two games of the season. "Some time ago, we knew he was going to have surgery," Carroll said. "We just put it off to this date. I don't know exactly why it was put it off to this date, but there has been a few weeks we could have put it off earlier." Rice will need three to four months to rehabilitate from the surgery, meaning he potentially will miss the beginning of the club’s offseason program.

Which guys should the Seahawks keep? And at what cost?

Although no one attached to the Seahawks would ever admit it, this season was less about winning than about building a team that can win next year and beyond. The Seahawks are among the youngest teams in the NFL, and realistic observers knew they would struggle this season with a new quarterback, young offensive linemen and a young secondary. Despite injuries across the entire offense...

2011 Season Evaluation

The 2011 NFL season for the Seattle Seahawks has come to a close. Although they ended up with the same 7-9 record as last season, progress has definitely been made in the Pete Carroll regime.

Seattle Seahawks Shouldn’t Reach For Robert Griffin III In 2012 NFL Draft

SEATTLE — Two years into his tenure as Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll is entering his third consecutive offseason without a long-term answer at quarterback. In 2009 he made a bold statement by swapping second-round picks, and trading a third-round pick in 2011 for Charlie Whitehurst, who hadn’t thrown a regular season pass in his career. After failing to beat out Matt...

That'll Do, Tarvaris.

"Seahawks? PFFT. Why the hell did you guys sign Tarvaris?" That was what a TSA agent said to me before I boarded my flight west for that Seahawks v Cardinals game last September. Few of Seattle's offseason moves were more derided than the twin decisions to let Matt Hasselbeck walk and replace him with ex-Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson. I'll admit that at that moment...

Morning links: Hawks thinking QB in the draft?

Dave Boling of The News Tribune believes that Seattle head coach Pete Carroll may have provided some insight into his thoughts on how he will move forward at the quarterback position during the offseason. Carroll said he’s come around to the thought that a rookie quarterback straight out of college can come in and be successful right away in the NFL, pointing to examples like...
