I decided to run the 2009 offseason today, so here is an update.

2009 is where it all begins.

The 2009 offseason was a quite one for the Seahawks, so they could afford to save $$$ for draft picks. They did however, sign a few players, each for around $4.0 - $5.0M. I don't remember who though.

It's draft day!

Most of the fans in Seattle were expecting a Quarterback to be drafted in the first round with Paul Lacey. The Seahawks gave up their #24th pick and their 2010 3rd Round pick, and their 2010 5th Round pick.

However, the Seahawks had a different plan in mind.

Roger Goodell: "With the 18th pick in the NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select, Geno King, MLB, West Virginia."

Yes, clearly a different plan in mind. However, the Seahawks wanted needs, not value. with their second pick, the #32 pick in the NFL draft, they selected Kenton Kasom, whom many people compare to Brian Westbrook.

Probably one of the biggest diamonds in the rough the Seahawks selected was Benji Farms, a Quarterback with an 88 overall potential with their 5th round, #24 pick.

Complete Seahawks 2009 Draft:

1, #18th: MLB Geno King
1, #32nd: HB Kenton Kasom
3, #24th: WR Donny Garrot
5, 24th: QB Benji Farms
7, 24th: RE Julious Simmons

Early in the Preseason the Seahawks decided they wanted Benji Farms to be their QB. So they decided to trade QB Matt Hasselbeck to the Cleveland Browns for a 2010 Third Round pick. It was a big hit($4.0M), however it saved up a huge amount of free space in $9.0M. We now have $25.00M in Free Space. During the beginning of the year we had Franchise-tagged CB Marcus Trufant for $8.50M. So if we can somehow trade him away, we will have around $33.00M in free space. The Seahawks have money to spend and a very good future!

It is now officially a rebuilding year for the Seahawks.

Much more to come in the near future!
