[Whatever]

Also no mention of Gieseki or Burton. Just losing Mixon/Boyd as negatives. 

Gesicki played in all 17 games last year, starting 10, and had 244 receiving yards.  The year before, he played in all 17 games and had 362 receiving yards.  He's here on a one year, $2.5 mil deal.  For point of reference, Gesicki averaged 14.4 ypg last year.  Irv Smith Jr. averaged 9.6 ypg last year and 22.8 ypg before in Minnesota.  While everyone here hopes we're getting the 700+ yard per season version, he's two years removed from that and doesn't have injuries as an excuse.  He's a bargain basement TE addition and no national source is going to treat him like some big add.

Similarly, Burton was a 3rd round pick.  If they assume he's going to be a quality starter year one, they have to assume the same for every other WR taken in the 3rd.

We always want to angle things for our guys, but seriously, you think a fan of Seattle cares that we added Burton and Gesicki?
