Free agent tight end and former Atlanta Falcon Alge Crumpler may be close to signing with the Seattle Seahawks. It makes some sense, seeing that former Falcons head coach Jim Mora, Jr. will be the head coach of the Seahawks once Mike Holmgren retires.
[Crumpler's agent Butch] Williams said. "With Coach [Jim] Mora, Mr. [Tim] Ruskell and Patrick Kerney in Seattle, that causes us to be comfortable."
Mora was fired by the Falcons as the head coach after the 2006. Ruskell served as Atlanta's assistant general manager until being named Seattle's president of football operations in 2005. Former defensive end Patrick Kerney signed with Seattle last season.
From a system standpoint, it makes sense. Crumpler thrived in the West Coast offense in Atlanta -- even if quarterback Michael Vick didn't. He'll go to Seattle and work with a very experienced QB who is well versed in the offense.
It still isn't a done deal, however, as the Tennessee Titans may still be in play. If the Titans come with something much better, Crumpler may elect to become Vince Young's main target.

This is what I said on the first post about Crumpler. Everyone else said Tennesee, Carolina, Cincy, and some other cities. Seattle has his brother, Jim Mora(his only real head coach he ever had), and he wants to win. It was a done deal when he was released.
