Sports Sports Sports http://seahawkstickets.blogdrive.com/archive/12.html Thu, 27 Apr 2006 22:04:03 GMT Safety Ken Hamlin will be on the field for the Seahawks' mandatory three-day minicamp, which begins next Friday. Tight end Jerramy Stevens won't be after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this week. Hamlin suffered a fractured skull when he was assaulted outside a Seattle nightclub in October and missed the remainder of the season. He saw a doctor in March, who cleared him to play football, and the next step in his comeback was to be cleared by the team. The Seahawks have OK'd him to participate in noncontact drills, president Tim Ruskell said Wednesday. Safeties suddenly...

Brown, Seattle's fourth-year kicker, signed his restricted free-agent tender today. He will return for a 2006 salary of $721,600. Brown was a seventh-round draft pick out of Nebraska in 2003. He made 18 of 25 field-goal attempts last season, and tied Norm Johnson's team record after connecting on five field goals of 50 yards or more. He also kicked two game-winning field goals, against Dallas and the New York Giants. http://seahawkstickets.blogdrive.com/comments?id=11 http://seahawkstickets.blogdrive.com/archive/10.html Tue, 04 Apr 2006 21:10:10 GMT The Seahawks quarterback throws the first pitch of the game for a strike to honorary catcher Richie Sexson on Opening Day. The Pittsburgh Steelers? Hah. They didn't scare Matt Hasselbeck nearly as much as the thought of embarrassing himself in front of 45,000 fans. When the Seattle Seahawks' quarterback threw out the first pitch at Monday's Seattle Mariners-Los Angeles Angels game, he just didn't want to ruin his reputation. "I think I was more nervous for that than I was for the Super Bowl," Hasselbeck said afterward. "Most of my teammates, they weren't exactly supportive; they were...

Peterson's agent, Kevin Poston, said Tuesday the contract is for $54 million over seven years and includes $18.5 million guaranteed. The Seahawks had no comment. A spokesman with the 49ers, who had been hoping to keep Peterson, said the team has been informed that a framework for a contract with Seattle is in place. Delores Peterson, Julian's mother, confirmed from the family's Maryland home that her son was going to Seattle. She...

Hutchinson's contract was the subject of a hearing in Philadelphia where a special master was to decide how much of the Minnesota Vikings' offer the Seahawks must match to keep Hutchinson, considered a key to Seattle's run to the Super Bowl this year. The Vikings seven-year offer included $16 million guaranteed and would be the richest deal ever given to a guard. But the contract also contained a provision that would...

The contract agreement he reached Friday with Atlanta and his word are his bond. But Abraham might not have the final say. The New York Jets, who own the three-time Pro Bowl selection's rights, have thwarted Abraham's relocation by treating the Falcons' trade offer of a second-round draft pick as insufficient. Instead, the Jets have agreed to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks for a first-round draft choice, and that decision has left Abraham "not happy," according to Agnone. In a...

Some needs will be filled by free agents, but this is how the Seahawks stack up this offseason. Highest priority: Free safety, running back, outside linebacker, cornerback. The Seahawks could lose players at these positions. The future of free safety Ken Hamlin is up in the air because of head injuries suffered last fall, and fill-in Marquand Manuel, though expected to be kept, could become a free agent. The team can't go into next season with unproven Etric Pruitt as the only free safety on the roster. Running back becomes...

Hutchinson still has the freedom to negotiate with other teams, but the tag reserves the right for the Seahawks to match any offer and retain his services. “The important thing to take from this is that we very much want to keep Steve a Seahawk and our goal is to ultimately re-sign him,” said...

Alexander, who sat out the Pro Bowl on Sunday because of a sprained right foot, said contract negotiations with the Seattle Seahawks will continue Monday. But the NFL's Most Valuable Player said he's open to playing elsewhere."I never really thought up until I got out here that I could be on another team, but it was really neat to see me with Carolina guys and having fun like that," he said following the NFC's 23-17 victory over the AFC. "It was different, but it was definitely neat." Several NFC teammates spent the past few days, half...

So it's way too soon for him to be over Seattle's Super Bowl setback to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the Seahawks' quarterback made it clear that he didn't agree with several decisions made by the officiating crew last Sunday. "I certainly don't want to add fuel to that fire," Hasselbeck said after going through his first Pro Bowl workout Wednesday. "They're not trying to screw calls up. Sometimes, you get it right, sometimes, you don't. They're doing the best they can. "We've got to move on, say, 'Hey, we... (more) http://seahawkstickets.blogdrive.com/comments?id=3
