I talk alot of trash about athletes on my blog. I guess I'm just an angry guy. So I decided to write something nice about #84 Bobby Engram. According to the Seattle Times:
"The Seahawks re-signed Bobby Engram, the team announced on Friday afternoon.
Engram was an unrestricted free agent, who has played the past six seasons in Seattle. He caught a team-high 67 passes in 2005, the year the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl.
Engram, 34, visited the Saints as a free agent, but chose to re-sign with Seattle. The team announced it as a multi-year contract. Exact terms of the deal were not available."
Bobby Engram has been the most consistent receiver for the Hawks since he joined the team six years ago. He is Hasslebeck's favorite target on 3rd down and unlike many Seahawks of the past years (D-Jack, Koren Robinson, Jerramy Stevens) Engram can catch the ball on a consistent basis. Engram also brings a presence in the locker room.
"He has been an integral part of this offense in recent seasons," Seahawks president Tim Ruskell said in a statement released by the team, "and will continue to bring veteran leadership in the locker room."
Now the Hawks are free to trade D-Jack although I heard John Clayton on the radio today say the best we could get is a 3rd round pick. Not sure if that is worth it although Seattle has depth at WR with Deion Branch, Engram and Nate Burleson all under contract and D.J. Hackett as a restricted free agent.
