the Seahawks are reportedly willing to move tight end Jimmy Graham to acquire a left tackle. ,As the trade deadline approaches in a couple of days
Multiple reports have indicated Seattle had discussions with Houston left tackle Duane Brown,Womens Delanie Walker Jersey, who ended his holdout this week and is expected to start for the Texans on Sunday against the Seahawks. Brown, 32,Authentic Corey Davis Jersey, has two years of non-guaranteed salary remaining on his current deal and is scheduled to make over $18 million the next two seasons.
Seattle hosted free agent left tackle Branden Albert for a visit earlier this month but he left without reaching an agreement on a contract with the team.
Bills left tackle Cordy Glenn has been the subject of trade talks with Seattle, according to multiple reports. Those talks haven't resulted in any deals yet, and any agreement would likely cost Seattle Graham and an early-round draft selection.
The Seahawks reportedly have only about $1.9 million in available cap space, which means a big-ticket player would need to be moved to snag such a valuable offensive line piece, and apparently Graham would be that player.
Graham has a $10 million cap hit this year and is slated to be a free agent after this season.
The 3o-year-old tight end started the season slow, catching only four passes for nine yards in the first two games. Since then Graham has been targeted 31 times, which is second-most on the team. But his 58.5 catch percentage is currently a career-low, hauling in 20 passes for 221 yards and two scores, as is 9.6 yards per reception average.
Seattle's offensive line needs this year reached new heights when left tackle George Fant suffered a torn right ACL in the preseason. Rees Odhiambo has started every game at left tackle thus far as he was essentially the team's only option after losing Fant in August.
calling them "total bulls--t" with Sports Illustrated's Mike Silver.,The Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had no time for Jimmy Graham trade rumors on Sunday and batted them away ferociously
saying he thought he was off the record but he wasn't bashful about continuing to stress the report was a work of fiction. He stressed the same with Jimmy Graham as soon as he heard the news.,Carroll was a bit bashful about that on Monday
"Well when I heard that too," he told 710 ESPN's Brock and Salk on Monday. "And he was aware of it in my observations. So we just talked about it eye to eye and the reality and the truth of it that there was nothing there. Somebody just made that up. By the time, I went right to Jimmy -- I ran to him -- to make sure that it wasn't bothering him, we got to gametime I checked back in with him a couple of times, just to make sure he was okay, because we needed his spirit going in the right direction."
which is likely why he nipped it in the bud immediately.,Authentic Ty Sambrailo Jersey,The veteran headman felt like the rumors were bothering his big play tight end
" he said during his Monday press conference. "He knew it. So I jumped right at it and [general manager] John [Schneider] did as well. There was never anything happening there and so Jimmy understood. But I think it might have rocked him a little bit. He bounced back pretty well.”,"I saw that it affected Jimmy
Pretty well may be the rare understatement for Carroll. Graham not only caught two touchdown passes among his four catches for 38 yards on Sunday but his two scoring grabs gave the Seahawks the lead late in the fourth quarter on the first and won the game for them on the second.
So, if he was bothered,Authentic Jeff Heuerman Jersey, he should perhaps play bothered more often. But, Graham will likely never admit if he was bothered. He wouldn't admit it to his coach in real time.
" Carroll said when asked how he knew it affected his player. "Know him pretty well. He didn’t say it was affecting him. I thought it was. I thought it was really obvious to me.”,Authentic Marcus Mariota Jersey,“Just looking at him
Graham bothered the Texans far more than trade rumors bothered him. And that's all that matters but Carroll continually having the pulse of his players may have saved the day once again.,In the end
The New England Patriots wideout corps received some good news: Chris Hogan will avoid surgery on his shoulder injury after leaving Sunday's game early.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that Hogan wouldn't require surgery to his shoulder, just rest and rehab,Authentic Delanie Walker Jersey, according to a source informed on the injury. Hogan could miss a few weeks, but the Pats will re-evaluate after their Week 9 bye.
Hogan exited Sunday's victory over the Los Angeles Chargers after making his fifth and final catch of the day. He was reportedly seen with his arm in a sling after the contest.
With all the early-season injuries to Tom Brady's pass-catching corps,Womens DeMarco Murray Jersey, it's a sigh of relief for the Patriots that Hogan won't get shut down for an extended period. The 6-foot-1 wideout is tied with Rob Gronkowski for the team lead with five touchdowns and has earned 33 catches for 438 yards on the season. Hogan brings position versatility, the ability to stretch the field, playing both in the slot and out wide, and he's the Pats' best non-Gronk red-zone threat.
the Patriots have the advantage of letting Hogan rest and re-examine the situation in hopes that he might not miss any game at all.,With the week off
the Houston Texans are losing one of their own to the team.,One day after being defeated by the Seahawks
OT Duane Brown thanked his fans in Houston and the team after it was announced earlier this evening he was being traded to Seattle.
" Brown wrote this evening on Instagram. "Thank you to the city of Houston and the Texans Nation for the love and support you've shown me and my family. You will always hold a special place in my heart.","Thank you to the Houston Texans organization for the opportunity to live out my dream the last 9 years
Brown's wife, Devi, expressed her excitement in very few words tonight on Twitter:
converting $6.26 million of future base salary into a signing bonus.,Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson renegotiated his contract with the team to accommodate its trade for left tackle Duane Brown
noting the reworked deal gives the Seahawks $4.1 million in additional room.,Andrew Brandt of The MMQB reported the news
which will pay him $9.7 million in base salary.,Brown is owed just under $5 million for the remainder of the 2017 season. He made his season debut with the Houston Texans last week after holding out the first seven weeks over a contractual dispute. The 32-year-old is under contract for one more season
The Seahawks undoubtedly plan on extending that relationship, especially after parting ways with Jeremy Lane, a 2018 fifth-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick in exchange for Brown. It was their second major win-now move of the season, along with their Sept. 1 trade for Sheldon Richardson.
Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team hopes Brown finishes his career in Seattle.
"We're really excited to get him up here," Schneider told reporters,Womens Shane Ray Jersey, get him back up here, referring to the Texans-Seahawks game last weekend. "He could have just stayed overnight,Womens Ty Sambrailo Jersey, I guess, but we're just really excited to add the player and his leadership and the guy. Power. Physicality. He's got great hands,Womens Jeff Heuerman Jersey, really good instincts. He's just a mountain of a man."
nothing functionally changes. He just gets $6.26 million in a lump sum now rather than over the rest of the 2017 season.,From Wilson's perspective
The Seahawks restructured Doug Baldwin's contract before the season to accommodate trading for Richardson.
In a dramatic attempt to fix a leaky offensive line, the Seahawks have agreed to acquire three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Duane Brown from Houston,Womens Marcus Mariota Jersey, sending cornerback Jeremy Lane and draft picks to the Texans in return in a move made on the eve of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
it won't become official until players pass physicals and other details are worked out.,Authentic DeMarco Murray Jersey,While the team confirmed that the trade has been agreed to
