It is confirmed that Marcus Trufant was the player the Seahawks decided to franchise. The franchise tag is worth around $9.5 million. This does not mean they are no longer negotiating. Guess hes not going anywhere

You just have to hope it doesn't create friction between Trufant and the organization.

Good move in theory, but will they be able to get a long-term deal done now?

I don't know if a long term deal is the best idea, I still see a few big holes in Trufant's game.

True, but hes a shutdown when it comes to quick short route passes.

That's great and all but what happens when he gets put on a guy like Bernard Berrian or Santana Moss?

haha bears mentions Santana .

Then we just have to rely on our safety grant, or get enough pressure on the QB so he wont be able to make those throws, so he'll be forced to stick with the quick passes.
