Seahawks just revamped their run game for VERY cheap.

Gave up a 5th for Leon Washington and literally only traded a few spots back in the 4th round for Lendale White.

That should be a decent one/two punch for them. I guess LT showed something early on.

Good move for Seattle. Plus...Seattle isnt known for its food. Maybe seafood, which is healthy. Lendale...in Tennessee....with BBQ joints all over the place = a bad combination.

Jets drafted Joe mcknight whos pretty much the exact same player as washington.

As a jets fan,I love leon washington but he wasnt a big part of the offense.A scat back who saw the ball about 5-7 times a game.But hes 28 and coming off a major leg injury and his agent wanted him to get paid the same as maurice jones-drew,which is a complete joke because leon isnt an every down back.

Regardless,I think thats a good one-two punch for seattle,Im curious to see how leon bounces back from the injury.Its a shame he wont be there for the jets as they seem poised to make a run.

On a sidenote and related just also cut alan faneca because they drafter an offensice lineman.

Faneca will be a solid pickup for someone.

I always liked Leon Washington. I think the Jets never used him the way they shoulda. He was without a doubt the most explosive playmaker they had on offense. He should have been having more touches per game.

Leon is basically a reggie bush type,a great role player if used right but not someone whos the main ingredient in an offense.im just happy he didnt end up in NE or miami he could do some major damage in those systems,especially with the dolphins.

Faneca will no doubt be a solid pick up for someone,hes a good veteran leader,but at the same time he was the weak spot on the jets line,his pro bowl selection was on name alone last season.Statistically he was in last place for giving up sacks and hurries from his position,so i dont see him being cut as being any problem for the jets.

Their two players that will help another team but on the jets they needed to be cut.Leons agent,alvin keels is a complete douchebag and is the reason leon is gone.

I love this deal. The media has been talking about White a lot, but I'm more excited about Washington (assuming that he's healthy). I was very skeptical about Carroll after we traded for Charlie Whitehurst, but I love the direction the team has been going since the draft.

i was never big on the Seahawks; but i'm rooting for them pretty badly just because they have Pete Carroll. 8)

Well,it just came out the washington may not be ready week 1 and he will playing with a metal rod in his leg.I just cant see him being the player he was with a metal rod in his leg.

Damn, that's disappointing, well we still have a good quick back in Forsett who averaged over 5 yards a carry (behind our sad excuse for a line) so anything Washington can bring to the table will be a bonus.
