Ken Hamlin

As far as I know he didn't get an extension from the Seahawks. Does this guy get a look on this team (and possibly move Wilson back to corner)? Has anyone seen this guy play extensively?

Ken Hamlin is the guy who got the major head trauma after getting into a fight outside a bar. I am not sure how he is doing, but I don't think he was the same player after that.

Ken Hamlin is the guy who got the major head trauma after getting into a fight outside a bar. I am not sure how he is doing, but I don't think he was the same player after that.

This is how he is doing:

Ken Hamlin, UFA, Seattle Seahawks
Hamlin is a talented safety with the potential to get even better. After an injury caused him to miss ten games last season, Hamlin has rebounded mightily this season with 70 total tackles, three interceptions, and a pair of sacks. Hamlin is on pace to equal his interception high, and his two sacks are tied with his career high. The athletic defensive back could be a valuable asset to most teams, and the Seahawks will work hard to re-sign him.

I would love to get him to groom him as Rodney's replacement one day.

The guy fractured his skull. He's lucky to still be alive. He seems to be a good player but he is listed at playing FS. So I dunno if he would come in and play SS for us even if we got him through free agency.

ive been somewhat impressed by james sanders
but i still think we need a stud young safety, and this draft provides some, if landry could fall to us id consider him at 22~(possible hawks pick)
as for geno, i prob would move him back to corner, with the play of hawkins and sanders, esp if sant goes
