The Seattle Seahawks will pay Ken Hamlin's contract for 2005, even though they are no longer bound to because his season was ended by a non-football injury. Coach Mike Holmgren confirmed Wednesday the NFC West-leading Seahawks agreed to pay the rest of Hamlin's salary for this season -- $245,882 remaining on his $380,000 base pay. Holmgren called it "the right thing to do." Hamlin's agent, Lawrence Temple, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press: "Obviously, we appreciate it very much. The Seahawks are doing the right thing by standing by their player, who was the victim of an assault."
