Not necessarily. He's only at the camp as a tryout player. He won't need to pass the physical unless we actually decide to sign him to a contract.

No disrespect here but Anquan Boldin? He will be very very lucky to even make the roster. I would be happy if he gets Baldwin production at this point not Boldin.
I agree.... He wasn't drafted for a reason. He will end up waiver wire fodder. A Bryan Walters comp would be more accurate as he will likely be cut 5+ times from teams. Dude would be lucky to even collect the number of NFL paycheck a Walters has so maybe I'm being generous in my comp.
You should let the Hawks know that they're wasting their time with UDFA then. I mean these guys weren't drafted for a reason so obviously they have no chance to make a team or even play in league...

Pandion, thanks for the quality post.
Thank God our FO doesn't take take a "scientific" approach to what they do. :{)

I accept your apology. While the OP was well written it just wasn't realistic.

I believe that it is necessary to pass the physical before one can get on the practice field.

You're correct so I'd say let's hold off on any comps to bona-fide NFL players just sayin"

So can the Seahawks still sign him or is passing a physical an absolute must? Probably a dumb question.

So when Kasen became available did the Hawks drop Hill for him? Because that what it seems like

Definitely bummed. Here's hoping that Matthews can build on his SB performance.

I don't think Kearse is a lock to make the team this season.

Dammit, Pete and John just let the next Boldin get away...damn they suck.

Really, I think Kearse at present is probably #2 on the DC.

Austin Hill couldn't pass a physical so the next guy the team wanted to have a look at, who was still available, was Kasen Williams whom the team didn't immediately sign after minicamp. It'd not surprise me to see Williams added before the end of the season though, even if just as a PS player or camp body.
