Player Notes
August 25, 2008
T.J. Duckett finally showed something, running the ball six times for 46 yards in his team's 18-17 loss to the Chargers in their preseason contest on Monday.

Our View:Duckett had not done much during the preseason, leading to whispers that he could be cut before the season started. But Monday's performance could be enough to keep that from happening.
August 3, 2008
T.J. Duckett may or may not even make the Seahawks this season, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:The report says that Duckett will likely make the team if they keep five backs, but if they cut back to four then rookie Owen Schmidt would likely be kept over Duckett.

Head coach Mike Holmgren doesn't seem to know what to do with running back T.J. Duckett, the Tacoma News Tribune reports. Multiple sources have told the paper that Duckett seems "especially slow" thus far. Julius Jones and Maurice Morris are atop the halfback depth chart, and Leonard Weaver is the No. 1 fullback.

Our View:Holmgren may be realizing why Duckett is on his fourth team in as many seasons. T.J. seems to be built for goal line work - or competitive eating contests - but it doesn't sound like the Seahawks want to use him in short-yardage situations, yet.

Running back T.J. Duckett joins Seattle this season (after signing a contract guaranteed to pay him $4 million) as part of an offseason overhaul to a backfield that has struggled to convert short-yardage rushing opportunities over the past two years. It's a role that many have already penciled Duckett into. Not so fast, though, according head coach Mike Holmgren and the Seattle Times. "There are some teams that take a big, strong pile-driving guy and I guess they call him a short-yardage back," Holmgren said. "I have never done that. In fact, when I have done that it hasn't worked very well."

Our View:Duckett has only carried the ball more than 130 times once in six career seasons in the league. We view him as a possible change-of-pace option to Julius Jones, who is a better fit in the offense due to his pass catching abilities. With Maurice Morris also rumored to be in the mix, the early returns have the Seattle running back situation looking like a three-headed committee scenario.

T.J. Duckett, who recently signed with the Seattle Seahawks, received a five-year deal worth $17 million, according to seattlepi.com. There was some give and take in these negotiations, Duckett will only receive $1 million in base salary for 2008, but he did secure a $4 million signing bonus. The actual deal (not including the back-loaded incentives) is three years for $7.5 million. Duckett will join Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris in the Seattle backfield, and the team is rumored to be pondering the selection of a running back in the 2008 NFL draft.
