The Seahawks are no longer tied to rumors about Terrell Owens, and while they might still look to pick up a veteran or two cut loose by another team, most of the roster shuffling these days is at the back end of the roster.
But since we’re diehards, we bring it all to you in more depth than even their mother’s care to know. So, here’s Monday’s list of events:
–DB Marcus Udell, an undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee, was waived.
–FB Owen Schmitt was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list. We have a crapload of information on the Seahawks every day, but even we don’t know what his issue was – presumably passing a conditioning test, or extricating a helmet from his forehead.
–OG Gregg Peat, an undrafted rookie out of Oregon State, was claimed off waivers from Indianapolis.
–TE Jameson Konz (hip) was placed on injured waivers. He’s likely to end up on injured reserve unless another team surprisingly claims him.

Kevin Elllison need to bring the pain ... not numb it.
As the one really “dead” time in the NFL schedule winds to a close, we’re now in single digits until rookies report July 29 so it’s time to update on three items of interest:
Pete Carroll told 710 ESPN on Monday that the Seahawks will not sign WR Terrell Owens. That’s too bad for anyone looking forward to seeing T.O. and T.J. run down the field simultaneously flailing their arms in the air, looking exasperated when the ball goes to John Carlson for three yards and then both barking at Matt Hasselbeck as soon as they get back to the huddle.
Leroy Hill has been suspended for the first game of the season. With it only being a one-game suspension, look for the Seahawks to give Hill a third life with the team. He’s expected to be in more of a traditional linebacker role this year with Aaron Curry rushing the passer more often.
Kevin Ellison pleaded not guilty to drug possession charges and has an October court date after being caught with 100 Vicodin in his car without a prescription. Let’s hope he’s more focused on delivering the pain come this season rather than trying to numb it, because the Hawks desperately need a fierce secondary presence.

If we didn’t have reason enough already not to dump our undying Hawks faith in John Schneider, our strange-browed new GM was on KJR this morning and while he said the team won’t sign WR Terrell Owens unless “something drastic happens” … he didn’t shut the door, either.
Let us count the ways that even kicking the tires on T.O. is a horrific idea:
1) He’s 36, with declining production each of the past two seasons – although we’re almost bound to give him a mulligan while playing for the Bills in ‘09.
2) Did we mention he’s 36? With fading deep speed, he’d be the 23rd possession-type receiver on the team. Granted, he has better size and physical strength than the rest of the group, but this offense desperately needs a playmaker who can stretch the field.
3) Did we mention he’s 36? This team is nowhere close to being competitive … ok, maybe remotely competitive in the terrible NFC West, but not against the league as a whole. What’s the point of bringing in an aging, slowing and emotionally draining prima donna to throw a combustible package into the mix?
OK, rant over. Schneider didn’t say they were pursuing it – we’ll take him at his word until someone spies T.O. hovering over the V-Mac in a Kenmore seaplane.
