Introducing your new Seahawk TE.

Some of you may know the name (only if you drafted him as a fantasy TE)

On Tuesday, the Seahawks addressed their tight end situation by signing 12-year veteran Marcus Pollard, an unrestricted free agent, to a one-year contract. He will team with Will Heller, who is the blocking TE. (Dont be surprised if the Hawks re-sign Ryan Hannum, relased by Dallas a few days ago as a third TE...you heard it here 1st). While not a West coast Offense TE, he did learn the Tom Moore system in Indy. Last year he only had 12 catches for Detroit after having 46 the year before. What was the differance you ask? Mike Martz was the OC. His schemes dont utilize the TE.

This is an interesting signing.

1) The Hawks only signed him to a 1 year contract. Look for them to either draft a TE or be heavy in Free Agency next year

2) He is solid, not flashy. But he can probably get you 30-35 catches, 400yds and 3-4 TD's. Not spectacular but they are better than Stevens career avarages with "potential" He is 6-3 247, solid blocker. And has not been caught driving "Nate Newton Style"

This avoids a long term investment in a big ??? with Stevens. Are you willing to pony up 5 years 30 mill for him? I like the 1 year deal for Pollard. Probably just under 2 mill. This gives them additional cap room for the draft and for the post June 1st cuts.
