    Considering our RB situation I wouldn't be opposed to this. What ya'll think?

    Seahawks waived/injured RB Robert Turbin.

    Marshawn Lynch's primary backup the past two seasons, Turbin has an ankle injury that will cost him five weeks, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It sounds like a high ankle sprain, potentially with ligament damage. RapSheet suggests Turbin could be claimed off waivers, though he didn't put anything positive on tape this preseason, decreasing the odds he is. If Turbin is not claimed, he will head to the Seahawks' injured reserve list. The Seahawks will enter the season with Fred Jackson as Lynch's clear-cut backup. They are reportedly shopping Christine Michael in trade talks, and would like to keep UDFA Thomas Rawls.

    CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported the Seahawks are shopping RB Christine Michael.

    With Fred Jackson now in the fold and promising rookie Thomas Rawls behind him on the depth chart, Michael is likely viewed as expendable. Inconsistency has always been Michael's modus operandi, and he reportedly was struggling with the same issues in training camp this year. Michael has a ton of natural ability, however, and would be an excellent pickup for a backfield lacking top-end talent. Dallas would be an interesting option.

    If he can't make it in Seattle, it's hard to imagine he can make it anywhere.

    Guys, Sankey is still young and we have rookie David Cobb. There's no need for a RB right now. Let's give Sankey and Cobb a chance to prove themselves.

    Fred Jackson is 34 years old. You don't sign a RB that old if the young guys are worth a damn.

    Double pass.

    Why trade for someone when they're bound to be released!

    And no I wouldn't sign Turbin. I liked him coming out of college and thought he would be decent. He's slightly more than what I expected of him but not much.

    Good point about Fred Jackson, but he is a beast.
