In one of the more ridiculous trades in recent history, the seattle seahawks gave career backup Charlie Whitehurst, a 3rd round draft pick from clemson, a 2 year $10 million dollar contract. They traded a 3rd round pick in 2011 and swapped second round choices with the San Diego Chargers in the 2010 NFL Draft.
The San Diego Chargers got the better of this deal by far. They had never used Whitehurst, and really had no use for him. They avoided giving him a big contract, and also significantly improve their draft for the next 2 years. Pete Carroll, the new president of the seahawks has made some very questionable free agent moves thus far.
This might have some big implications for the Seahawks next year in madden nfl 2011. Whitehurts could be their starting QB in Pete Carroll’s west coast offense.
