Seahawks sign RB T.J. Duckett

The Seahawks have signed RB T.J. Duckett to a 5-year deal

Duckett should be able to help Seattle in their rushing game, who collectively averaged 4.0 yards per carry in 2006 and 3.8 in 2007. That's good for 20th in the league for rushing yards. Duckett averaged 5.2 yards per carry last season when he wasn't plagued by injury. However, he still has Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris to deal with on the depth chart, but he could be most needed in short yardage gains, where his 6'0'' 254 lbs. frame will definitely help.

It's also important to note that this is the third team that Duckett has been with in as many years. But who knows, maybe he'll find his niche in Seattle. It's about time for him to have a breakout, injury free season.

Truue, I think Mr. Alexander is going to come back and have one hell of a season as well, but I believe TJ will be used in alot of short yardage and goal line situations. I see him surpassing 5 TD's this year, while Shaun has 8-10. Or maybe Sahun gets hurt again and Duckett endures more playing time. Only time will tell.
