Zach Miller

According to ESPN’s John Clayton, former Raiders tight end Zach Miller has signed a deal with the Seahawks after it looked like he would stay in Oakland. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the contract is for five years and $34 million, including $17 million guaranteed.

The move comes as a surprise, mostly because Miller led the Raiders with 60 catches, 865 receiving yards and five touchdowns last season. Miller is a big target and will start at tight end in Seattle, providing a good option for new quarterback Tavaris Jackson.

Miller had been the Raiders’ starting tight end since he was drafted in 2007, and joins Nnamdi Asomugha as the second high-profile Raider lost to free agency.

John Carlson started at tight end last season for Seattle. He caught 31 passes for 318 yards and one touchdown.

You knew the moment the last second ticked off the clock of the Jets’ 13-3 loss in Seattle, the New York tabloids would take no prisoners and leave no bullets in the chamber. For proof of that, we present the following evidence.

The New York Post said, ‘Move over Mets. You’re not the only choking dogs in town.’

The New York Daily News said, ‘Clueless in Seattle.’

Newsday columnist Bob Glauber is calling for Mangenius to get the boot if the Jets miss the playoffs.

Then there’s this great video on YouTube of Jets D-lineman Shaun Ellis hurling a snowball at the crowd (about 40 seconds in). Guess he was frustrated that the Seahawks didn’t hand him the game like J.P. Losman did a week earlier.
