With this year’s draft fast approaching, It became apparent that the Seattle Seahawks were the only team clearly interested in securing the services of Broncos restricted free agent Marshall.

Seattle ultimately signed the star receiver to the  Seattle  Seahawks roster, The reported trade cost Seattle a 3 year contract reportedly worth 32 million dollars with 12 million guaranteed.  Seattle also gave up the number #14 1st round Draft pick in this years Draft.

I can almost see it now T.J. Houshmandzadeh is probably ecstatic Marhshall is coming to join him in Seattle where the Seahawks can have a true #1 receiver.

Some reports are still coming in but Jason Lacanfora reports on his Twitter page: “Quote” Brandon Marshall gets a new start in Seattle”.

Pete Carroll doesnt look so bad now in my eyes because this is definitely his best offseason move to date.

But the Seattle Seahawks have a long way to go before they can be a winning team again!

Seattle hosted Marshall for a weekend visit three weeks ago, flying Marshall and his fiancee to the team’s facilities on the banks of Lake Washington by Seaplane. Marshall reportedly enjoyed his visit, talking to receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh during his trip and also meeting with offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates and quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch, who both know Marshall from their time coaching in Denver.

“We’re friends, and when he was up here we talked,” Houshmandzadeh said, im just glad the Seahawks got this trade done and it will show all Seahawk fans just how serious Mangement is in winning this season!

“But there’s a lot that goes into it, you know, satisfying what Denver wanted and satisfying what he wanted contractually. So there was a lot of things that went into play to get Brandon to Seattle.

Now lets go out and get some players in this years draft and see how we do as a team.
