Apparently not having his adequate fill of big, tall, former top ten pick receivers, Pete Carroll has decided there is enough room for both of them to continue battling it out for a roster spot.
The Seahawks have signed both former Husky and No. 9 overall pick Reggie Williams, and former USC product and No. 10 overall pick Mike Williams to contracts.
Can’t find contract deals but I am fairly sure there is little to no guaranteed money and this is more of a “we think you guys flashed some potential and we want to keep evaluating you beyond a three day no contact mini camp”.
Between the two, I am fairly certain Mike is not going to make the final cut, and Reggie has a much better chance of rounding the depth chart as the No. 5 receiver. Unlike Mike, Reggie has proven to be productive in this league, with his yardage totals inclining up until 2008 and notching 10 TD’s in 2006, a Jacksonville Jaguars record.
Mike’s best season was his rookie campaign, where he caught 29 passes for 350 yards and a TD.
As one of our readers pointed out in an earlier post “no one circles the scrap heap like the Seattle Seahawks”.
That seems to be the prevailing method by our front office this off season, only adding one player who is a lock for a No. 2 role outside of special teams; tight end Chris Baker.
Also, in a lesser signing who also won’t likely make the final cut, former Carroll product Ryan Powdrell will be joining the team.
He’s a Fullback who I have never heard of before just now, and with bashing his head until it bleeds in an angry metal head esque fashion already our starting fullback, it’s unlikely Powdrell makes it past Schmitt.
