The Seahawks have applied the franchise tag on CB Marcus Trufant.
The Seahawks seemed unsure about whether Trufant was worth paying $9.46 million this season, but this was the best move. Trufant was one of the game's best corners in 2007 following an inconsistent career. Seattle's secondary now has excellent depth. Ten players have been franchised, including three corners, which should make Asante Samuel a happy man. Feb. 20 - 6:31 pm et
I wanted this guy, Asante is a zone corner... and unless Oakland wants to trade Nmadi...however you spell that last name, Trufant was going to be the best just available.
