From the Seattle Times (click the external link for the full story)
KIRKLAND — The Seahawks signed fifth-round draft choice Jeb Huckeba to a multiyear contract yesterday, the first of the team's nine draft picks to sign.
Terms of the contract were not released.
Huckeba was an all-Southeastern Conference selection as a defensive end at Arkansas, and one of two Razorbacks taken in this year's draft.
A native of Searcy, Ark., Huckeba had 56 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks last season. He had 210 tackles and 32 tackles for loss in his college career.
Also mentioned in the article were the signing of two veteran backup quarterbacks. The Browns signed Doug Johnson and the Bungles signed Craig Krenzel.
As the list of available veteran QB's grows smaller and maller, I for one, get happier. None of the names on that list were half as talented as Seneca and with each QB signed away by another team, the likelihood that we go into the season with Seneca as our #2 grows. Personally I think it's time to give this kid his shot at #2, after all, can he really be any worse than Jeff George?
Nice to see you getting additional use out of that jpg!!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping it would be Lofa to sign first but oh well, we have lotsa time.
ReplyDeleteAnd all I can say on the QB situation is......"Please Matt, stay healthy bro!" (and stay away from Shaun on hand-offs)

Oh yeah I forgot about that pic, anyone here have a copy of that on their computer? I'd love to have one.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, on the subject of Alexander.....for all of you that don't think Mike's giving Shaun the ball enough, here's a quote from Street and Smith's '05 NFL Preview "Alexander's 353 carries were the most in the NFC......"
I didn't know that, did you? :D

I didn't realize that Vin, very interesting, and it certainly would support your theory about his carries going down while the level of play offensively goes up.
