They only have 1 more game before their BYE, and Engram is supposed to return after that. But Branch still isn't practicing with the team -- and who knows if he'll ever be 100% again? Right now this team is down to 3 healthy WRs (2 of which weren't even on the team 6 days ago).

Latest Vegas Odds:
Sprained ACL: 8-1
Pulled Hamstring: 3-2
Turf Toe: 5-1
Torn Meniscus: 15-1
Broken Clavicle: 100-1
Separated Shoulder: 150-1
I got 100 units on Turf Toe, but that Separated Shoulder is some sweet action.

I would think all FA WR's should steer clear of Seattle... if they know whats good for them.

Put me down for a hundred on "arrested for impaired driving before he has the chance to take the field."

What's that sound? I think it might be the bottom of a barrel getting scraped.

Good luck to both of them.

FWIW, I heard Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan talk about Koren on the dirve home last week. Both were very surprised Koren hadn't gotten a call from someone and, if he was a GM, he'd be camped out at his door. Some guy called up who was a golf pro in Carolina said he played with Koren on a regular basis, was clean and in great shape. Again, Kirwan went so far as to say he'd make some phone calls to help get this guy on a roster.
Trust me, I have no horse in this race, been burned by Koren a number of times, just reporting the news.

Other than make the probowl as a kick returner, turn Favre into a crusader for him only to be edged out by young WRs on a rebuilding team, and become a spokesman for the NFL to rookies about screwing up. He knows Seattle's system, they need a kick returner (unless they really like Wilson setting them up at the 12 for a game winning drive), and if he keeps his head on straight which he has for a while now he can help the Hawks avoid a completely disastrous start as well as becoming a great story of redemtion. And he'll be cheap. Really no risk for the Hawks because they don't need much from him but he has the upside to be a great story. He was never as bad as the current #1 WR Courtney Taylor, it's really desperate times.

The point is, he's better than Taylor and he knows the system better than McMullen. And it's not like he's washed up (he's only 28 and he's only been out of the league since May).Leeroy Jenkins

Desperate times call for desperate measures here as well. He could be the #1 WR there for a few weeks and be pretty productive even after Branch and Engram return. Worth a flier IMO

I half-seriously called this in a thread the other day, but I'm sure I wasn't alone.
Anyway, I was surprised that Robinson got (AFAIK) zero serious attention in the offseason. He was a decent roleplayer on a team loaded with WRs in GB. Unless he's really lost a lot, I would think he could start for 4 or 5 teams and contribute to twice as many.
Still would not pick him up for FF, of course.

And we all know how meaningful making the pro bowl is.
Because he sucked....
Very nice but very irrelevant to being able to produce.
That's what this gets down to. I don't get why they didn't call Glenn or nearly any other out-of-work WR, but I guess they just can't resist the "upside" which he has failed to produce for quite a long time.

Holmgren didn't have a problem having Koren back last week, but the decision wasn't his alone to make. He said this last week:

Latest news is that K-Rob is at the Seahawks facility today, but has not signed yet.

KRob actually is a great opion with what they ahve right now...
Branch: Torn ACL
Engram: Out indefinitely
Obamanu: IR for the season
Logan Payne: IR for the season
Wallace: Out for a month
There just are not a lot fo options and this guy actually knows the playbook I would imagine. Just by accident he and hasselbeck should connect a lot on Sunday. if he can pass the physical and is ready to roll...I don't think KRob is even 30 or if he is not much older than that I think. i could see him easily snagging 5-6 balls for 60-80 yds and maybe a score, call me a total optimist but I like him much better than what they have been kicking around in the early season.

Agreed. Given the totality of circumstances, I think Robinson could step in and do a halfway decent Nate Burleson imitation.

Anyone have an opinion on whether they might also let KRob do the kick returns in addition to playing WR? He did go to a pro bowl a couple years ago as a kick returner. I haven't watched any of the Seattle games so I don't know how well Josh Wilson has looked on returns. Anyone have any insight into the return game? We get points for returns and that would really increase his value.

Wilson hasn't been good enough. frankly, they needed Robinosn last week - he's an upgrade at KR & WR oiver what they have. They more this snowballs, and stuff gets revealed, the more I want the GM gone as a Seahawks fan.

What about Keary Colbert????

Glenn doesn't know the WCO and is old. Again, this is the second round of in-season WR additions for the Hawks, not free agency. They need a WR and a kick returner, Koro can do both and he already knows the playbook. He's far from a prime choice in general and I'm not dusting off any old jerseys, but he's better and will hit the field faster than any of the other unemployed WRs out there.

Wilson didn't make any friends with Holmgren when he took the last return out of the end zone and only got to the 12. Holmgren more or less singled him out for that play as limiting his options for their last drive. That's not really much insight, but it's way too early to know how he'll be used.
