Report: Housh to visit Seahawks
options
 

T.J. Houshmandzadeh has a visit planned with the Seattle Seahawks, according to Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com.

That's the only team reportedly bringing him in so far, as of 10:50 a.m. It was thought that Houshmandzadeh, the consensus top free agent receiver, would draw interest from several teams, but it hasn't happened yet. Or at least it hasn't been reported.

In my earlier post, I wrote about Houshmandzadeh appearing on ESPN late last night and mentioning the Eagles as one of the four teams he'd be interested in playing for. He also reportedly sent ESPN 950 a text message, saying: "I don't know what's gonna happen, if they want me I will be an Eagle tomorrow."

Meanwhile, a source tells Tom Kowalski of MLive.com that the Lions could be a potential suitor for Houshmandzadeh's services. According to the source, Houshmandzadeh was at the top of Detroit's wish list, but the Lions thought he'd be too expensive.

More updates to come throughout the day so keep checking back.

    What sort of plan would that be, losteagle? Storming the NovaCare complex? An underground uprising?

    How come I haven't seen an article about these jerks raising ticket prices again. Thought maybe they were going to go out and overpay for a couple of these free agents, apparantly not. Almost 15% Increase in these times....disgusting.

    If all of us morons keep paying top dollar for an organization that clearly doesn't care about its fan support, then they will just keep raising the prices. With the amount of money we pour into them every year, to have even $1 dollar below the salary cap is insulting. They clearly don't care about us or they would be willing to spend money like we do.
