Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Does the Seahawks' trade of Josh Wilson last week give a hint about Seattle's plans for T.J. Houshmandzadeh?
Wilson is a cornerback and Houshmandzadeh is a wide receiver, so their cases are far from identical.
But Wilson was a veteran starter who was expected to play all season with the Seahawks, and he was shipped out when Seattle decided they had enough young talent to cover the position.
The same could be true for Houshmandzadeh, who at the elevated (for the NFL) age of 33 is making $7 million after hauling in 79 passes last year.
It's become clear in the last day or so that the Seahawks, if not actively shopping their top receiver, are at least letting other clubs know Houshmandzadeh is available with the roster cutdown date set for Saturday.
Mike Williams, who played for coach Pete Carroll at USC and who has had a nice preseason in what is perhaps his last attempt to establish himself in the NFL, figures to get a decent amount of snaps when the season starts against San Francisco Sept. 12.
Williams would be the likely starter opposite Deion Branch should Houshmandzadeh be dealt or released.
Golden Tate, the club's pick in the second round of the draft, isn't ready to be a starter, but he seems more than ready to be a strong player off the bench.
And Deon Butler, who had seven catches for 101 yards and a touchdown Thursday, is a decent candidate as a backup big-play threat. The fact that he dropped a couple of passes Thursday can't be dismissed, but he did look good on the balls he did catch.
Are Seahawks Deep Enough at Receiver to Let T.J. Houshmandzadeh Go?
