Seahawks Add TE Kellen Winslow

It’s pretty obvious that the Seahawks don’t listen to me. Not that they should, I’d be upset if they did take their cues from a fan like me. Ironically, I think it’s pretty awesome that they seem do the exact opposite of what I think they should do.

Just yesterday, I said the Seahawks should avoid Kellen Winslow because of all his baggage. Then last night, right before I went to sleep (My kids tired me out. Don’t judge) The Seahawks acquired Winslow for a 7th round pick, that could become a 6th with playing time.

For a 7th round pick, this is a great trade. As much as I didn’t want Winslow, it’s because I thought a 4th would be required to make it happen. I can’t believe that Winslow could be acquired for so little, but it does speak to just how much off-field baggage Winslow brings with him.

On the field, The Seahawks get a great receiving TE. He can’t block to save his life, but they guy can get open and catch a football. He has led his team in receptions in each of the past 3 season.
