Justin Forsett - RB - Seahawks

The Texans will work out free agent Justin Forsett next Wednesday.

Forsett has drawn surprisingly scant interest since the end of last season, and it's believed this will be his first trip on the visit/workout circuit. In Houston, Forsett could be the No. 3 running back behind Arian Foster and Ben Tate.

Matt Flynn - QB - Seahawks

The Seahawks are rotating quarterbacks with the first-team offense day by day during Organized Team Activities.

Tarvaris Jackson got the reps on Tuesday, Matt Flynn took the lion's share on Wednesday, and Thursday was rookie Russell Wilson's time to shine. There won't be enough reps to go around by late summer, so either Wilson or Jackson will be weeded out behind Flynn. Appearing on PFT Live Friday, NBC's Ross Tucker called "three-way QB battle" a sham. "Please," said Tucker. "I mean, Matt Flynn's gonna start the opener. They gave him $10 million guaranteed."

John Moffitt - G - Seahawks

Seahawks RG John Moffitt (torn MCL, PCL) was "full-go" in Thursday's practice.

Moffitt worked with the first-team offense at right guard, so the knee appears to be no longer an issue. Frank Omiyale is working at left tackle, though starter Russell Okung (pectoral surgery) is close to being cleared for a full return.

Russell Wilson - QB - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll indicated that Russell Wilson is splitting quarterback reps evenly with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson in OTAs.

The three-way competition is more than just lip service, but keep in mind that it's only May. The top two candidates will need more reps by training camp, eliminating whichever quarterback is falling behind. Unless Wilson opens eyes over the next month, he's the most likely candidate to fall by the wayside.

James Carpenter - T - Seahawks

Seahawks RT James Carpenter ran Thursday for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in November.

Carpenter is close to six months removed from surgery. We've seen several reports suggesting he had suffered a setback and will remain a candidate to open the season on the PUP list.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Seahawks WR Golden Tate is sporting a cast on his hand after suffering an injury in Wednesday's practice.

Tate was absent from Thursday's practice, though the severity of the injury is unclear. Tate is expected to compete for the starting job opposite Sidney Rice this summer.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

One NFL personnel source tells Thesidelineview.com's Adam Caplan that his team put the brakes on pursuing a trade for Kellen Winslow after reviewing his 2011 game film.

"We just didn't think he could be more than a rotational player at this point (in his career) after examining his tape and performance," said the personnel source. That opinion was obviously the majority around the league, as Winslow fetched just a seventh-round pick entering his age-29 season. After six knee surgeries, Winslow's playmaking ability has all but evaporated.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

Seahawks acquired TE Kellen Winslow from the Buccaneers in exchange for a conditional 2013 seventh-round pick.

The pick can upgrade to a sixth-rounder based on Winslow's performance. Tampa Bay did well to get anything for Winslow, who has creaky knees and played last season with a hitch in his gait. He would have been released if Seattle hadn't made a trade offer. Winslow, who turns 29 before the coming season, finished 2011 with 75 catches for 763 yards and two touchdowns. His playmaking ability has been dwindling several years running, and he's now going to a run-first offense to compete for snaps behind Zach Miller. Winslow may help Seattle in a limited role, but his fantasy value will be scant in 2012.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times has seen no indications that the Bears are interested in Kellen Winslow.

The Winslow-to-Bears rumors are hot and heavy after Tampa Bay contacted Chicago about a trade during the free agency period. That communication sounds like it was very much one sided by the Buccaneers. Winslow would add experience, but he's a poor blocker and his knees are wearing down. With Kellen Davis, Matt Spaeth, and rookie Evan Rodriguez, the Bears are likely set at tight end.

Allen Barbre - T - Seahawks

NFL suspended Seahawks T/G Allen Barbre four games for an undisclosed violation of league policy.

A versatile, 28-year-old reserve, Barbre appeared in four games with Seattle last season without making a start. He was going to compete for a roster spot in training camp. The lack of availability won't help Barbre's chances.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs are expected to release Kellen Winslow and sign free agent Dallas Clark "probably sooner than later."

Per beat writer Stephen Holder, "odds are good" the Bucs will find no takers for Winslow's contract, and he'll be cut rather than traded. The Bears are tentatively expected to have interest in Winslow, who could play a Tony Scheffler-like role in Mike Tice and Jeremy Bates' offense. Clark would likely be a 12-20 snap-per-game player in Tampa, seeing the field strictly on passing downs.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

The Chicago Tribune reports the Bears and Bucs discussed a Kellen Winslow trade following the start of free agency.

More specifically, the Bucs were "were working to trade" Winslow to the Bears. It appears Chicago was more focused on closing its deal for Brandon Marshall. The Bears used a fourth-round pick on TE Evan Rodriguez, but are still one of the league's thinner teams at tight end. If they're at all interested in Winslow, however, it's more likely they'd wait for him to be released.

Kellen Winslow - TE - Seahawks

Kellen Winslow says he's been informed by Bucs coach Greg Schiano that he's "not wanted" in Tampa Bay, and that the team will help him engineer a trade.

Winslow says problems arose after he decided to work out on his own this offseason (as usual), even though he insists the Bucs never told him it would be an issue. In reality, Winslow was always unlikely to be back. All of the guarantees from the six-year, $36.1 million deal he signed in 2009 have been paid, while he was thoroughly un-dynamic on the field last season. Winslow likely would have been a toxic match with the hard-nosed Schiano. He'll be released if the Bucs don't find a trade partner in short order.

Russell Wilson - QB - Seahawks

Seahawks GM John Schneider compares third-round rookie Russell Wilson to Drew Brees for his accuracy and anticipation.

"He is the closest player I’ve (scouted) to Drew Brees and Jeff Garcia in terms of sliding, finding lanes and creating for himself," said Schneider. "He can slide and he has quick eyes. From an accuracy, anticipation standpoint, he is the closest to Drew Brees." Though Wilson's height has been criticized, just two of his 2011 incompletions were deflected at the line of scrimmage. Andrew Luck also had two batted down, and RG3 had nine. Ryan Tannehill had 19.

Bobby Wagner - LB - Seahawks

Second-round pick Bobby Wagner is working with Seattle's first-team defense at middle linebacker during full-squad OTAs.

Barrett Ruud is out with injury, but this is a big opportunity for the 47th overall pick to shine. Wagner has been flanked by SLB K.J. Wright and WLB Leroy Hill. Assuming Wagner does open the season as a starter, it will be interesting to see whether he earns a role in the nickel package. The Seahawks used outgoing MLB David Hawthorne as a nearly every-down linebacker.
