According to the Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the team’s general manager John Schneider has been negotiating with the Denver Broncos restricted free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall about a possible deal.
"There has been some talk," Carroll said today at the NFL owners meetings, per the Denver Post. "John has handled that so far. But it’s very preliminary."
Negotiating a contract is the first step in creating some action for Marshall, who has already visited the Seahawks. Since a negotiation is still going on, it’s likely that a trade will be worked out between the Seahawks and the Broncos. Putting on the Seahawks jerseys may give Marshall a new chance to prove his value as a star running back.

Seahawks signed offer sheet with Chargers RFA QB Whitehurst
According the NFL reports, the San Diego Chargers restricted free agent quarterback Charlie Whitehurst is likely to put on the Seattle Seahawks jersey with a two-year $10 million contract. Per the report, the Chargers may get draft picks, including a 2011 third-round selection through the trade with the Seahawks.
Whitehurst was the target of both the Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals, but the latter agreed to terms with former Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Derek Anderson on Wednesday, thus he signed the offer sheet with the Seahawks on the same day, making the trade near to be finalized.
For some reason, the four-year pro has just appeared in only two NFL regular-season games without throwing any pass. If the trade is going on well as it has been expected, Whitehurst is going to be a backup for Matt Hasselbeck after the Seahawks’ former No. 2 quarterback Seneca Wallace was traded to the Browns last week.

Seahawks OC Bates has nothing to say about LT Jones
Saying quarterback Matt Hasselbeck learns new system well, saying running backs Julius Jones and Justin Forsett fits new offense well, but the Seattle Seahawks new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said nothing about tackle Walter Jones, keeping his status for 2010 a question.
The 36-year-old Jones posted on his Twitter page last weekend that “it is time for me to retire from football.” Actually he has not played since Thanksgiving Day 2008 following two surgeries on his left knee. And the anchor to Seattle’s offensive line since 1997 has used Twitter to hint at retirement over the last few months. But he also said that he still had a passion to play football in NFL jerseys and might test the knee in a spring minicamp.
Bates said of Jones: “In my short career in the NFL, he’s the best left tackle I ever seen.” That might be why the question for Jones’ status remains unanswered. Even the Seahawks executives have yet to confirm what Jones’ plan for 2010 season.

Seahawks QB Hasselbeck practiced but was questionable for Sunday game
On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck took full part in the team’s practice, in an effort to accelerate his return from a broken rib. But it is still questionable if he would be able to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.
It was 17 days after Hasselbeck was hit high in the back by the San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis on a dive for the goal line, and Hasselbeck was trying show that he could do everything possible to get out on the football field without question, although he still has to wear bulky rib pads throughout the practice.
It also showed that the Seahawks, who have lost three consecutive games, was desperate to save its season. They expect Hasselbeck to return as soon as possible and might be glad to see the quarterback be able to practice as Coach Jim Mora has set a goal of winning these two remaining games before the bye.

Leg injury may keep Seahawks starting center Spencer out for preseason
The Seattle Seahawks won over the Denver Broncos by 27+13 on Saturday night, however, they also lost starting center Chris Spencer to leg injury, which may prevent the center from playing for the remaining days of preseason.
Spencer hurt his left quadriceps muscle in the second quarter of the preseason game and was taken to the locker room on a motorized cart. The team said that more tests needed to be taken to determine when Spencer could be back for playing with his teammates. But according to Coach Jim Mora, the injury was “the most serious” of assorted bumps and bruises and an MRI will be done on Sunday.
Another loss of starter after nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Walter Jones left field with injured knee. Usual right tackle Sean Locklear replaced the 35-year-old veteran. However, the replacement’s performance was really not satisfying-he allowed two sacks and had a false-start penalty in Saturday’s preseason game against the Broncos.

Seahawks center Spencer got hurt in the first week of training camp
The latest injured Seahawks starter was Chris Spencer, who was hurt in the first week of training camp.
It was on Friday morning’s practice when Spencer left on the back of a cart following a pileup during a blocking drill. Coach Jim Mora said that Spencer’s left ankle was injured but he was not sure how serious the injury was.
Other injured players include former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch and cornerback Marcus Trufant. Branch had swelling on his reconstructed knee during morning practice but soon returned for the night session. Trufant sustained a back injury last week and has not been ready for practice in camp.
