Early congratulations, Keary, on being the number 1 WW pickup for week 3 of the 2008 season.

You know your WRs are really hurting when obtaining Colbert is actually described as being a "boost" to the corps.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

Is he the guy that used to be on the John Stewart show?

I have a buddy who says you can't fall off the floor and I believe that applies here.

 

[Xue]

How much would D-Jax would have been worth over Kolbert?

 

[glumpy]

I've always liked him, but after a good rookie year he never got the looks I expected in Carolina. Might do well with the Seahawks.

Fixed. This is like fastening yourself to the knife thrower's wooden wheel after watching the first three volunteers get impaled.

They could sign Renaldo Nehemiah and boost their current squad.

I hope Keary Colbert is buying some extra life insurance right now

Since when is signing a guy who has poor hands and can't get separation from a defensive end a boost?

Those rookie stats were solely due to Steve Smith getting injured in Week 1. He only caught 51% of passes thrown to him, which was among the lowest of any WRs in the top-50 that year.

He's boosting their collection of WR's with poor hands who can't get separation.

 

[whitem0nkey]

well its better than signing Jeff George and converting him to a WR.

Since they were relying upon backup QB's to start at WR and be big parts of their game plan, that's when.

 

[the rover]

Stephen Colbert would still be an upgrade at WR.

Word.

5th possibly a 4th round pick for Broncos. Pretty good trade for them taking advantage of the situation.

Apparently you don't get to watch seahawks games where you are from. The sad reality is that these guys are a boost.There is literally no one on the Seahawks active roster that should be an NFL WR, these guys included.

 

[Londo]

Hmmmmmmmm. You might be on to something there. Also, Colbert has feet for hands and is now much more likely to be impaled with a first down marker or something. Better warm up the phone for Jeff...

well duh. He's white.

#### I was hoping for a K-Rob and D-Jax reunion in Seattle.

XStill a downgrade. A big steaming turd might not get better separation except on rainy days, it's more likely to catch a ball.

 

[jwojdylo]

haha, obviously seattle is stretching for offensive help....

 

[the rover]

Isn't there someone in the CFL they could pick up instead of signing more guys that have proven that they can't perform in the NFL?

heckofa lot better than what we got for Holland and Foxworth.

 

[-baller]

is there any truth to the rumor that culpepper is negotiating himself a 5 year 50 million dollar deal to play receiver?

 

[Eat Sleep Sports]

they also signed Koren Robinson

[knowledge dropper]

How quickly can these guys be in the lineup? This Sunday. They do get the Rams defense.

My first thought when I heard of the deal was "how the @$*% do we get more for Keary Colbert than we did for Foxworth or Holland?!"

 

[Bri]

I wish someone would give Anthony Mix a shot

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Ken-Yon Rambo?I think Milt Stegall is still alive and playing....

 

[Portis 26]

I wonder why the Seahawks didn't try to get D-Jax from Denver? D-Jax might have actually had some worth for them. I suspect Denver didn't want to give up D-Jax because his contract is cheaper than Colbert's.

not at AIG I hope
