Big DT. Fits a need for Seattle. RT @TomPelissero: #Seahawks traded for D'Anthony Smith from #Jaguars.

You beat me too it, my needs to be queued for deletion.

Who did they trade away or what did they give up in return? Also is this guy any good?

 

[FlyingGreg]

This makes the Howard cut more logical.

 

[Throwdown]

Dude was cut from the Jags on Friday tho...

He's young and big. That's about all I can find on him.

@ECStoner: @DavisHsuSeattle I make that joke because we've barely seen him play. IR on first two seasons, barely played last year. We call him Catfish.

Gus better have given us a discount considering all the damn cherry pickin' he's been doing.

Quite a few news articles suggest he was cut by the Jags yesterday?
Trade?

 

[Hawkstorian]

He was probably told yesterday, but then they swung a trade. Probably conditional 7th pick.

They probably just traded players that were going to be cut anyway.

@bcondotta: Jacksonville reporter @ryanohalloran reporting Jags will get a conditional draft pick from Seahawks.

@ryanohalloran: the draft pick is conditional. ... #Jaguars didn't turn in their cuts until tonight even though they announced yesterday.

Somewhat surprising considering this guy was going to be cut.

I guess our guys were worried that he wouldn't make it through waivers to them.

Hawks are near the bottom of the wire. Probably thought he wasnt going to make it through.

How did we get so desperate at DT?

They must have really not liked Howard and Siliga.

We basically gave up Howard, Moffitt, and a conditional pick for this Smith guy.

Too many injuries... Mebane, Hill, Williams, McDaniel.
