rotoworld,

According to coach Pete Carroll, second-year WR Deon Butler has made "more progress than anyone" since the new coaching staff took over.

"He's more disciplined about his route running," Carroll said. "We know he's really fast. He's been a consistent catcher. He needs to be physical." Carroll indicated that Butler is "right in the middle" of the competition to start. While Golden Tate has received the bulk of the offseason hype, Butler is running with the first team.

Now this is some interesting intel. Maybe the Seahawks are starting to gravitate away from some of the overpriced underperformers they have been using.

Agreed on the underperforming Coach.

Coach Pete Carroll continues to rave about Deon Butler's improvement this offseason.

"Deon Butler has had a very good offseason for us and has improved immensely from where we saw him on film last year," said Carroll. Butler has received plenty of first-team snaps during OTAs. He could give Deion Branch and Golden Tate a serious run for the No. 2 job.

Awesome. I own Tate and Butler. Branch will blow a knee.

Branch will blow a knee.

I am hoping he gets cut.
