Obtaining Whitehurst proves costly for Seahawks
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2010 6:02 PM ET
For better or worse, the first years of the Pete Carroll era in Seattle will be defined by Charlie Whitehurst.
ESPN's John Clayton reports that the Seahawks will move down 20 picks in the second round of this draft and give a third-round pick in 2011 to get Whitehurst.
But that's not the costly part.
The Seahawks have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Whitehurst that is expected to pay him $5 million-per-year. Wow.
Whitehurst has not attempted a regular season pass as a pro, but he should fairly soon with that contract.
Give Carroll and G.M. John Schneider credit for targeting their guy and having the confidence to go get him. They just better be right.
