I dont know how many of you watched todays seattle/washington game, but trufant looked really solid. Im not just talking about his pick 6 either, his coverage all day was very good and i really think he should be one of our top offseason targets.

Is he going to the PRO BOWL ??? He going to want some big bucks

anyone that has good skills and will be a free agent will want big bucks, thats the name of the game in the FA world of the nfl, i just hope that this year when the saints pay those big bucks that it actually goes to a player with said good skills.

The most attractive Seahawks free agent is likely to be Trufant, who has an NFC-best seven interceptions this season and is headed to his first Pro Bowl.

Trufant could be looking for a big payday after his breakout season, but he's not going to command anything like the seven-year, $63 million contract that Denver gave Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey in 2004 or the $80 million contract Nate Clements signed with San Francisco last spring. Trufant's market value might be more in the neighborhood of former teammate Ken Lucas, whom the Carolina Panthers signed to a six-year, $36.5 million contract in 2005.

Asked last week about his impending free agency, Trufant was uncertain about his future.

"I guess I just have to wait and see exactly how it goes," he said. "This is my first go-round, and you don't know what to expect. I'm just trying to take care of myself until then."

Babineaux named Trufant's signing as the key to the offseason, saying said that the defense needs to stay together.

"We have a lot of pieces that are going to be here for a few years," Babineaux said. "We just have to add that last missing piece in Marcus Trufant. Once we lock him in, we'll be set for a long time."

Yeah, Trufant did look good in that playoff game this weekend. I thought he really stood out.

let's see, trading up in 03 we missed Kevin Williams, Terrell Suggs, Marcus Trufant, and Troy Polamalu. or staying put, we missed Dallas Clark, Nick Barnett, and Nnamdi Asomugha. or in round 4, McGee and Samuel (those darn smaller schools). but hindsight is blah, blah, blah.

Trufant should get tagged. I doubt he will become available. Wish it would happen though.
