Seahawks signed OT Andrew McDonald

Is this the corresponding move? Surprising that they signed an OL considering how good Britt and Carpenter played. Perhaps this means they're not concerned with CB depth?

Is there a link somewhere?

Peter King mentioned it in his MMQB article today. That's where I saw it.

Depth is a good thing!

Recall that Jean-Pierre was IR'd the day before the Packer game. They were still down an O-Lineman from what they intended on the 53 man initial roster.

Man, the Seahawks love these guys who have overcome adversity. Good for him!

McDonald was identified in the Wells Report as "Player A," one of the personnel bullied by Richie Incognito and other members of the Dolphins.

Overcoming adversity indeed. Can't see this guy fearing any D lineman at this point.

Interesting, really thought that when we waived Bates that that meant they were gonna sign a CB.

if they catch it early its the most survivable of all cancers. very susceptible to radiation therapy. they remove your nut, nuke you for a month and you are done.

Yes, I do recall that, but I think the majority expected a CB to be signed. But perhaps this move had nothing to do with Jeremy Lane and had to do with that.

Another dirt bag! Be very afraid of our O line!

I would still expect a corresponding move to shore up the secondary depth. Neither Lane or Simon are going to be back until after the bye. There could even be 2 more moves. I am thinking a WR and LB.

For both tackles and testicles.

I am sure this guy is looking forward to the day he isn't referred to as the "Incognito bully victim" but rather praised for his football talent.

Interesting that we sign this guy after cutting Winston, who I thought played well during the preseason.

Purely salary? Control?

It's latin for "after this, therefore because of this", which is a logical fallacy. It refers to confusion that we would sign an O-Lineman after/because a CB went down for an extended injury. Signing McDonald isn't a reaction to Lane's injury or a sign that they are fine at CB. They are separate events. The O-Lineman signing is likely a reaction to the LJP injury and the Keith Lewis tryout is more a reaction to the Lane injury.

Though in all fairness i'm probably using the term inappropriately or in the wrong context. I just think it sounds cool.
