Colbert, Robinson Have a New Home! (Or: Holy Mess the Seahawks Are Desperate)

The Panthers got rid of Keary Colbert (okay, fine not really, but you know ...) after three horribly mediocre years. He was promising as a rookie, catching 47 passes for 754 yards but never topped 350 again. And just to be clear, the Panthers let him go -- I want you to know that such a transaction says very little about his future.

Of course, you wouldn't have known that based on the three year, $7.2 million deal that the Denver Broncos foolishly handed him this offseason. But then you might be deceived by the news that Jay Glazer dropped today.
Seattle has swapped a late-round draft pick for Broncos wide receiver Keary Colbert, FOXSports.com has learned.
Or perhaps you would know it. After all, for a team to be at the point that they need to acquire Colbert midseason, well, things are not going well.

On the other hand, this is kind of like finding out you were your girlfriend's eighth choice of guys to take home from the bar, so it's not like Colbert is loving life either.

But the Seahawks weren't done! No, sir! They also inked former 'Hawk Koren Robinson. So, they're not stacked, but they're certainly better off than they were yesterday. I think.

Fantasy Spin: Despite that awkward "Yeah, you were all we could get" type of thing going on here, Colbert and Robinson are actually interesting adds because the Seahawks like to pass. I like Robinson better for upside, but as mentioned, Colbert did catch almost 50 passes his rookie year and he is literally all the Seahawks have at wideout right now. This does not say anything good about Courtney Taylor either.
