Bolts rape Seahawks

Obtaining Whitehurst proves costly for Seahawks

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2010 6:02 PM ET

For better or worse, the first years of the Pete Carroll era in Seattle will be defined by Charlie Whitehurst.

ESPN's Mike Sando reports that the Seahawks will move down 20 picks in the second round of this draft and give a third-round pick in 2011 to get Whitehurst.

But that's not the costly part.

The Seahawks have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Whitehurst that is expected to pay him $5 million-per-year. Wow.

Whitehurst has not attempted a regular season pass as a pro, but he should fairly soon with that contract.

Give Carroll and G.M. John Schneider credit for targeting their guy and having the confidence to go get him. They just better be right.

Hope Pete knows what he's doing.

Norv Turner is one hell of an O Coordinator and developer of QBs but this may be a bit too much faith.

Don't forget he's also had Ramsdell as his QB coach - who was also in that position during the Vermeil/Martz years in STL.

I am loving the moveup in the 2nd though ... now a Cody/Matthews combo could be more of a reality. As far as the 3rd in 11 goes, if it keeps up we may just have that whole round (ours, Jets, and Hawks)

    • I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.     
    • This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
