Seattle Seahawks' president Tim Ruskell said there is no truth to a report on SI.com that the team is believed to be interested in wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, who was released last week by the Carolina Panthers.

    doesnt matter we dont need him but why wouldnt we be interested...if seattle could get a good price on keyshawn why not bring him in with burlson, branch and hackett...maybe he could get us over the hump and push us all the way.....seattle needs to make one more big move

    #2, Keyshawn has mediocre speed for an NFL WR. He's got good body mechanics, runs decent routes, and catches the ball well.
    He's not at the level he was in his youth, but he's still a good slot receiver.
    I'd guess that Seattle might actually be interested, but they want to see how things shake down - he's going to be more expensive than their young talent, but until they get through mini-camps, they won't know if they need him or not.

    we need him in denver. we need another proven wr in the mix. rod smiths production dropped sharply last year, and javon walker cant do it all by himself.

    It would have been good for Seattle to bring him in. But then again Seattle already has plenty of Wr's.

    seattle doesnt want a character like him. he runs his mouth too much. seattle has high standards. besides seattle stills has the best recievers in the business, even without jackson. hackett will be the man this year. pick him up in your fantasy leagues!!

    if keyshawn went to the raiders it would be great he is a veteran wide out and could teach rookie recievers any team could use that caliber

    DJ Hackett, Is the next TO! Branch is as solid as they come, and Burleson is a former number 1 for the Vickings with unlimited potential. Add our leading pass catcher from the Hawks Super Bowl run, Bobby Engram, and were pretty set at reciever. The Hawks didn't throw away Darrell Jackson to bring in Keyshawn. Enough said!

    ummm yeah why would ya dump darrell jackson for a worthless pick,then turn around and try to get keyshawn.they should have hung on to jackson....engram is good,hackett is getting good,but the tight end spot is weak,and losing jackson hurts,adding keyshawn doesnt seem like the answer to me.

    Keyshawn did drop a lot of balls That touchdown he dropped when we played dallass was humiliating. He doesn't have great speed either. I say vince needs a weapon. Keyshawn could help vince get over the sophomore blues and maybe the titans will make the playoffs. one more thing somebody answer why we won't sweep New orleans this year. GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Approximately 3 years ago, Keyshawn's mouth speed was clocked as being faster than his running speed. The funny thing is, his mouth speed hasn't changed since he was drafted, but rather he has become as slow as a grandpa on the field. Get this slow boy outta here!! He runs like Coach Holmgren.

    Keyshawn is washed up. How humiliating it is to run his mouth during the NFL draft about teaching USC draft pick Dwayne Jarrett how to be a pro and eventually take his spot when he retires... then BAM! Carolina cuts his candy a$$.
    I keep replaying how ESPN aired Keyshawn calling Jarrett after he was picked and Keyshawn just talked and talked about how he was gonna do this, show this, teach this... Keyshawn should retire, his career borders that of Andre Rison or Ernest Givens. Yeah he was good in his prime, but never dominated like Moss or Owens or Rice did.
    He knows and everyone else knows it.

    Keyshawn won't be catching many balls if he goes to Oakland, remember this team led the league in sacks allowed do you really think he's going to be effective if they can't get the ball to him. Going to be tough for Keyshawn to make an impact when the QB is on his backside all game! Brilliant idea, Go to Oakland Keyshawn you ain't going to help them none and Keyshawn won't be getting any better! Oakland didn't address there main concern in the Draft, Offensive Line, Oakland can sign all the wide receivers they want they just won't be effective becasue the QB can't get a pass off!

    He takes the hit in the middle of the field and makes the catch. Does anyone remember what Joe Jur, did for us, the veterin leadership and the big catches at big times, that is the kind of leadership we could use, however He does have a big ego and a big mouth. Probably not the quality guy the team looks for.
