Seattle Seahawks Head Coach

 A two-time Pro Bowl quarterback, Bulger asked for and was granted his release from the Rams on April 5th, 2010.

Last season was disappointing for Bulger. The Rams finished Deion Branch with the worst record in the league, and Bulger was placed on injured reserve on December 26th. 

 "Every quarterback in the league wants to be a starter," Bulger told the Baltimore Sun.  "If we're winning games and I'm sitting on the sidelines ... I'll be just as happy as [being] a starter."

Bulger spent eight seasons with the Rams, replacing the man who led St. Louis to two Super Bowl appearances and a championship in Kurt Warner.

With such lofty expectations, Bulger didn't disappoint.  After two playoff appearances, two Pro Bowl selections, and becoming the fastest quarterback to reach a thousand completions, Bulger inked a six year, $62.5 million contract extension with the Rams in July 2007, putting him in Matt Hasselbeck a group of six quarterbacks making $10 million or more per year.

Soon after the extension, things went downhill.  Injuries derailed Bulger's 2007 season, and the team finished with a 3-13 record.  Bulger was never able to get back on track, throwing 27 touchdowns to 34 interceptions after signing his extension to finish off his career with the Rams.

A month ago, Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett began a Aaron Curry public campaign to encourage other billionaires to make a "Giving Pledge," and donate at least half of their wealth to charity.

Allen said he has planned to do that for many years, but he had not gone public with his intentions until now.

"He and Bill have talked about this and he thinks it's a good idea to let people know," said David Postman, a spokesman for Allen at Vulcan. "He hopes that maybe it spurs other people to give and he's hoping there will be good things that come of it."

Allen said he wanted to make it clear that his philanthropic efforts "will continue after my lifetime," he said in a statement. "As our philanthropy continues in the years ahead, we will look for new opportunities to make a difference in the lives of future generations."

This year Forbes ranked Allen as the world's 37th richest person with a fortune estimated at $13.5 billion.

His total giving over the years has reached about $1 billion, reflecting eclectic interests new Seattle Seahawks jerseys  in science, the arts and education, including nonprofits he founded: the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Experience Music Project.

While Gates' charity has become global in size and ambition, Allen's has remained mostly local and personal.

"Since the beginning, our philanthropy has been focused in the Pacific Northwest, where I live and work," Allen said. "I'm proud to have helped fund great work done by non-profit groups throughout the region. But there's always more to do."

Leon Washington is perhaps the most intriguing of the team's backs. He is a quiet fantasy producer. His 2009 season was marred by a career threatening injury; he suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula. But in 2008, he ranked 29th in fantasy points while Thomas Jones was putting up career numbers in front of him.

Like Lendale White, the Seahawks nabbed Washington at draft time to shake up it's woeful running game. Leon is ready to get back on the field. "I feel like I'm in better shape than I've ever been in, because I've been in a training mode since last October."

It doesn't hurt that Carroll is quite fond of Leon. "I love the way he plays the game," said Carroll. "I got to see him and thought he was a dynamic player—running, catching, returns. If he's able to add to our offense, I think that's a big plus for us."

Washington's current ADP is 55th RB taken in most drafts. Forsett is going at an ADP of 35. I currently have Forsett ranked at 30th.

Forsett is an NFL underdog. He's not big, but he's determined and committed. While he did not set the world on fire in 2009, his numbers were better overall than the team's starter (Jones). Many believe that given the starting nod in 2010, the 5-foot-8, 194-pound Forsett, could be a force. He did average 5.4 yards in 114 carries with four touchdowns, last season, and grabbed 41 balls out of the backfield.

In fact, this week, the fantasy world is a buzz with Forsett upside and sleeper chatter. Still, even as the team's number one back he's not likely to drastically outperform his 35th ADP selection.
