Hasselbeck might be available afterall...

According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, Seattle is "seriously consider pulling the trigger on a new signal-caller in the first round."

The Seahawks are slated to pick at No. 25, but getting such a low draft pick (they would have picked No. 8 overall had they lost in Week 17) may have thrown a wrench in their plans. As it stands, Nevada's Colin Kaepernick, Arkansas' Ryan Mallett, and Washington's Jake Locker could be available, but the Hawks will need to trade up if they want to land Missouri's Blaine Gabbert or Auburn's Cam Newton.

Trade spots for Mebane and Hasselbeck and maybe another pick? Discuss.

How much did they give up for Whitehurst again?

This doesn't mean he will be available. They are just planning for the future like Green Bay did when they drafter Rodgers when Brett was still slinging it. Hasselbeck has some years on him.

If they are smart, and Carroll is, they will keep Hasselbeck to mentor and be starter until new guy is ready.
