'Hawks trade Wilson. Leon is the returner

[Arctic Dawgs]

(RotoWire) Washington will start the season as the kickoff return man after the Seahawks traded Josh Wilson on Tuesday, the Tacoma News Tribune reports. Analysis: Wilson was one of the return men last season. If Washington fills that role, it probably means he won't start at running back. That seemingly leaves Justin Forsett as the starter with Washington as perhaps a third-down back. This is far from settled, however.

Hope too many of you weren't counting on him for your #2 RB

dunno:

I guess I figured Tate was going get the bulk of the returns??? This kind of reinforces that.

(Rotoworld) If the regular-season opener was today, Leon Washington would be the Seahawks kick returner, according to coach Pete Carroll. Analysis: Josh Wilson was ticketed for that role, but he was shipped to the Ravens on Tuesday. Washington will presumably handle kickoffs as well as punts with Justin Forsett working as his backup. Upgrade Washington in return yardage leagues, but it's a reminder that the Seahawks are going to go with a strict running back by committee approach. Feature backs rarely return kicks.

Not sure on how much this will affect JJ.

If I were recovering from a broken leg and just got traded to a team for a little bit of cash, I certainly wouldn't want to make my living returning. My source on tate was dead wrong.
