Seahawks trade Kevin Norwood to Carolina after initially were going to cut him.

Unbelievable.

Is he left handed?

Yeah... Seattle doesn't have a great track record with WR's taken in the 4th round.

 

Chris Harper, Kris Durham and now Norwood all 4th rounders cut before their 2nd season

Huddle :  Gettleman has to do something at WR

 

Gettleman finds us a serviceable WR in the dumpster of a team that made the superbowl 2 of 3 last years and beat our asses 3x

Unbelievable. 

can't freak out on trading if the other option was bidding war with several other interested teams, which apparently is what would have happened.

Damned if we do make a move and damned if we don't. The fact is people wouldn't be happy unless we got a big named WR and to be honest I think that the Panthers aren't looking for bandaids but players that can grow with Cam. Now it sounds like we were high on the guy in last years draft and considering him so what is the harm in a conditional pick when he wouldn't have lasted on the waiver wire until we are able to pick him up? 

Now do I think he is the answer? Doubt it, but we won't know until he comes in here. I can already say that we need someone who is willing to FIGHT for the ball and not let the ball come to them. It seems like all of our receivers that are active right now won't win in a fight and hopefully this guy will. 

I know I am a homer but lets keep it real, Gettleman has a good track record so far with draft picks and I am considering him a draft pick of ours since we wanted him.

Anyone touch on Dave's acknowledgement that he was studied hard and we about traded up to get him?

Dave seems to recognize pieces that can fit! Sometimes the player steps up....sometimes they don't!

From the video clips I watched he looks like a less athletic Funchess. He's stiff and rigid, much like Bersin but has near perfect form while catching and makes great use of his hands. Has good straight line speed and like KB he high points the ball and shields with his body really well.

Really looks like another Boykin or Bersin type, don't see what he really adds other than abother body.

Liked him in the draft, maybe we can get something out of him. We'll see how it goes

Strikes me as a potential replacement for Philly if he doesn't work out his hands issue.  By all accounts we liked Norwood in the 4th round last year - might have been rated higher than Philly in draft eval and he has good hands.  Give Philly a few weeks and if things don't improve give Norwood a shot.

2 completely different type of WRs! Huh?

He has to make the roster and then prove himself as serviceable first.
