Rumors are swirling that the Seahawks could be interested in wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Houshmandzadeh played college football at Oregon State, and Seattle doesn't want to spend another season depending on youngsters like Ben Obomanu, Logan Payne, and Courtney Taylor.

The Seahawks hold the fourth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, which is filled with high quality offensive linemen. "I have never been fond of the high (pick) offensive lineman," Tim Ruskell said. "It's not a sexy pick, and you can't really show highlights."

Greg Knapp will be the new offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, the first of many moves to be made by new coach Jim Mora, according to an Associated Press report on Wednesday. A person familiar with the hire confirmed that the Knapp has agreed to leave the Raiders to reunite with Mora, Knapp?s former boss with the Falcons.

Former Detroit coach Rod Marinelli has reportedly received an offer to join Chicago, but he also has interviewed with Seattle. The Bears spoke to Marinelli about becoming their defensive line coach, while the Seahawks are rumored to be interested in Marinelli as a defensive coordinator.

Rod Marinelli, who was fired last week as head coach of the Lions, reportedly is in Seattle to meet with the Seahawks about joining Jim Mora's coaching staff. Mora is scheduled to meet with the Seahawks' coaching staff for the first time as head coach on Monday morning, and it appears change is already in the works.
