Phil thinks most people realized Seattle made a mistake when they signed him.

bump up BMW?
maybe you take him in the 13th-15th instead of 16th-18th now. always been a nice late round flier.

It was throwing money to try and fix a problem.Schneider and PC seemed to be taking the rebuilding strategy and are ok with the Seahawks getting worse before they get better. Housh is certainly better than Tate, Butler & BMW at this time but Housh is certainly not in the long-term plans. With that being said, I don't think Housh will be cut. No point cutting him unless he is actually a locker room cancer and being a distraction.

Wasn't Barnwell (or someone else?) tweeting the other day about local speculation that Housh might get cut too? If trying to trade him, sounding like a real possibility if no one wants his contract.

That's the question. Is he becoming a distraction? While Ocho Cinco has a reputation of being one of the biggest divas in the league, reportedly Housh is WAY worse. At least that was the word when he was at Cincy.

interesting development.

He really has been a distraction so far. Pouting on the sidelines, fits during practice, sulking back to the huddle if the ball isn't thrown his way. There was an article just a few weeks ago, saying that Housh made a promise to himself to be more "vocal" this year, which isn't a good thing.Dexter Manley said:
Butler has actually done really well this offseason/training camp/preseason. Carrol actually singled him out as the most improved player on the team, period. On top of making some nice grabs in the preseason games, he is routinely come up with impressive catches in practice as well. He doesn't necessarily fit PC's mold at WR, but he has looked good so far. At this point though, you really have no idea who is going to be on the team from day to day.Butler seemed to be getting some nice pre-season buzz last year, but I hadn't heard much this year

Houshmandzadeh is on the block
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 2, 2010 5:28 PM ET
If trying to trade Michael Clayton was Mission Impossible, consider a possible trade of T.J. Houshmandzadeh its bloated sequel.
NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Seattle is trying to move Houshmandzadeh. He also points out that a trade is very unlikely because of Housh's contract, which contains $7 million guaranteed this season.
Yes, the Vikings were interested in Houshmandzadeh a year ago. But they drafted Percy Harvin to play the slot and recent acquisition Greg Camarillo is a similar-style player to Housh at a fraction of the price and drama. (Some would argue Camarillo's skill-level is similar now too.)
We highly doubt the Seahawks could find any takers for Houshmandzadeh. The question, then: Could the Seahawks simply eat his salary?
The Seahawks seem oddly determined to keep Deion Branch, but he and Housh are only taking snaps away from young talents Golden Tate, Deon Butler, and Mike Williams.
We asked whether Housh could be cut on Twitter a few weeks back and ESPN's Mike Sando thought there was at least a chance.
That chance, which seemed rather small, appears to be growing.
UPDATE: Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes it's believed the Seahawks want to clear salary space to go after Vincent Jackson. Good luck.

Could be Carlson when all is said and done.
Nope, Carlson will most likely stay back and block more again this season since the tackles are either inexperienced (Wrotto and Okung), coming back from injury (Okung), or just not very good (Locklear). Carlson had a very good year the last year that big Walter Jones was healthy. Last year they had huge issues at the tackles position and Carlson disappers. It's not a coincidence.

Pete Carroll has shown no loyalty and is letting the best players win the job. The WR spots in SEA are very much still wide open right now. It should go without saying for most teams, but is not always the case, that those who end up performing the best will be the one playing the most in Seattle this year.

It isn't gonna keep them from being a really bad football team this year. NFC West = hands down worst division in the NFL.

Interesting thread on Hawks fan site talking about Housh and Vincent Jackson trade possibilities...

It may be down the drain but I think I'd rather take Hush on Minny than Housh on Seattle.

Come on Sig...that guy is a warm body. What has he ever done?
He will be nothing this year....again.
Have you seen him in the preseason? He looks like USC BMWDanny O'Neil from the Seattle Times, one of my most trusted Seahawks sources, said way back in July that BMW would catch 40-50 balls this year if he carried over spring performance to summer. He has.
