Tru returns

Finding little love on the free agent market, Marcus Trufant signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks.

Tru's recent history of season-ending back injuries overshadowed his Pro Bowl credentials, compromising his appeal to NFL teams searching for a quality cornerback.

Even if healthy, Trufant might not start. That's how good our secondary has become.

If Tru does beat out Richard Sherman, then all four members of our starting secondary will have had Pro Bowl experience: Trufant, plus fellow cornerback Brandon Browner and safeties Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas.

Even if Sherman relegates the senior Seahawk corner to the nickelback slot, that still gives us one of the league's best and deepest secondaries.

Welcome back, Tru.
