September 1st, 2010 at 10:10 am by Adam McFadden

The Seahawks traded cornerback Josh Wilson to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional fifth-round pick.
Wilson, a former second-round pick, has six interceptions in his three seasons. He’s returned three of them for touchdowns.
Here and here are some thoughts on the trade by John Morgan of Field Gulls (Hint: He doesn’t like it. Also, the second link has some adult language).

August 30th, 2010 at 10:21 am by Adam McFadden

Field Gulls lays out some winners and losers from the Seahawks 24-13 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Among the big winners is Chris Clemons at defensive end. If Clemons can step up, he would fill the team’s biggest hole: rushing the passer.

Looking at the Leo end

August 13th, 2010 at 10:16 am by Adam McFadden

You can send in questions anytime before and during the chat.

Yahoo! Sports takes a crack at profiling the Seahawks’ fantasy football prospects in the latest entry of the Juggernaut Index, a series counting down NFL teams from most futile to most productive.
Seattle cracks the list at No. 27, topping the Rams, Raiders, Bills, Browns and Buccaneers.
