    Robinson Tweets He’ll Re-Sign With Seattle

    The Seahawks have yet to sign a major free agent from another team — latest snub: guard Steve Hutchinson, who signed with Tennessee Thursday after a publicized Seattle visit — but they are having no problem retaining their own unrestricted free agents they want to keep.

    Expected today is official word that fullback Michael Robinson will remain in Seattle, a significant development given the prominent role Robinson plays in the Seahawks’ special teams and running game (Robinson threw the key block that sprang Marshawn Lynch on his memorable 67-yard TD run against the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 playoffs).

    “12th Man, please(d) to announce I will be coming back next season! Time to win,” Robinson, Seattle’s special teams captain, posted on his Twitter account.

    Originally signed as a free agent in 2010, Robinson played in the Pro Bowl following the 2011 season after helping Lynch gain 1,204 yards and touchdowns in a franchise-record 11 consecutive games.

    Robinson’s own spotlight moment occurred Dec. 12 after WR Doug Baldwin blocked a St. Louis punt that Robinson recovered and ran in for a touchdown.

    With Robinson’s expected return, the Seahawks have brought back six of their own free agents: Lynch, defensive end Red Bryant, offensive linemen Paul McQuistan and Breno Giacomini, and special teams standout Heath Farwell.

    EX-HAWKS: Former cornerback Marcus Trufant, the club’s No. 1 pick in the 2003 draft, is expected to visit the Denver Broncos Friday. The Seahawks released Trufant last week.

      Glad to see this one.  Fullbacks are as important in some team’s blocking schemes as a guard or tackle, and Robinson’s a Pro Bowler.  I wish FBs were used to carry or catch the ball more often because they ARE eligible.  The way Chuck Knox used John L. Williams, who could crush guys with a block too, is why I think John L. was the best FB in team history (with all the respect in the world for Mack Strong).
