Say goodbye to #8


Matt Hasselbeck will not be signed by the Seahawks... Time to say goodbye.
3 time pro bowler. Broke every QB record that matters for the Seattle Seahawks. Brought to the team via trade by his dad(just kidding) Mike Holmgren in 2001, it didn't take long for him to be benched and considered a failure. However, in 2002 Hasselbeck was called on to play in place of Trent Dilfer after he was injured for the season. He played well enough to replace Dilfer as the starter in 2003, he then led the Seahawks to the playoffs that year and eventually to Super Bowl XL after the 2005 season. During Hasselbeck's career with the Seahawks, the team reached the playoffs in 6 seasons, including 5 straight, and won 5 NFC West Championships.

Additional note by Shane: Despite being among the leaders in the NFC in passer rating in '02, '03, '05, and '07 he never had a pro bowl pass catcher to throw to.
