K-ROB IS A SEAHAWK, AGAIN

Posted by Mike Florio on September 16, 2008, 3:47 p.m.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Seahawks have officially reunited with receiver Koren Robinson.

Robinson, who was cut by the Packers earlier this year, has signed a one-year deal.

Per Schefter, Seattle pro personnel director Will Lewis flew to North Carolina last week for a meeting with and workout of Robinson. With two more wideouts lost to injury on Sunday against the 49ers, Robinson was flown to Seattle on Monday, and worked out for the team on Tuesday.

He could end up in the starting lineup as soon as Sunday.

Robinson was a first-round pick in 2001, but the Seahawks finally gave up on him in 2005. He emerged as a kick returner for the Vikings, and made it to the Pro Bowl. A late-night, high-speed chase with police resulted in his release from the Vikings. He later signed with the Packers, but was suspended for a full year. He rejoined Green Bay during the 2007 season.

BRONCOS TRADE COLBERT TO SEAHAWKS

The Seattle Seahawks were in desperate need of adding a wide receiver, and now they’ve added two.

On the same day that Seattle signed wide receiver Koren Robinson, they’ve made a trade with the Denver Broncos to acquire wide receiver Keary Colbert, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting.

Per Glazer, Seattle sent a late-round draft pick to Denver in the exchange.

Colbert, who signed a free-agent contract with the Broncos this off-season after playing his first four seasons with the Panthers, had not yet caught a pass this year. His best season was his rookie year, 2004, when he started 15 games and caught 47 passes for 754 yards and five touchdowns.

The Seahawks needed to bolster their corps of receivers because Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram and Deion Branch have all suffered injuries.

Seattle has lost their 1-4 WR's already. Insane.
