Seahawks land OG Hamilton

[Hawk096]

The Seahawks signed OG Ben Hamilton formerly of Denver. Hamilton has started 104 games in the past nine-years for the Broncos and played under Alex Gibbs zone-blocking scheme. Terms of the deal are unannounced. Hamilton could play either left or right guard for the Seahawks allowing Max Unger to possibly start at center if need be.

I like this. Solid back up or possible starter. We need more veterans on the line.

I love this move! Hamilton is an experienced OG whose familiar with Gibbs's system. He can teach the young guys like Unger and the vets the new system. He's a leader and the Broncos always have consistent success in the running game.

Music to my ears! This guy seems solid.
Hopefully he has a couple years left, he can retire under Gibbs.
Liken this to the Wahle deal, hopefully for less $$.

Where did you obtain such information? Is there a link somewhere? I can't find any info on this.

It's on the SeattlePI.com sports section as well.

And I agree with everyone else, this is a good move. Does anybody have details on how long the contract is yet?

 

[Hawk096]

phaze details of the contract have not been released according to Adam Schefter.

Glad to see we made a move for someone on the O-line. We need a bit more though. This is a start.

WOOHOO!!! Just what we needed - a talented veteran to challenge guys for starting jobs and help coach the other players on the field. FINALLY! A signing to get excited about. Wait... that is sad that we are most excited about a guy that we hope will only be a backup.

I like the singing a lot. I think he has a few years left as a solid starter. Not Pro-Bowl material obviously but he still could be decent under our scheme. In case you guys didn't know, the only reason he was benched at Denver was because he was deemed too small for their system.
