NFL notes: Depleted Seattle deals for receivers

SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks took two steps to sure up their injured-depleted wide receivers by trading for Keary Colbert and reacquiring Koren Robinson on Tuesday.

Seattle agreed to a one-year contract with Robinson, its former No. 1 draft choice, on Tuesday afternoon. Agent Alvin Keels confirmed the agreement and its length in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Colbert was acquired from the Denver Broncos.

Colbert's agent, Gary Uberstine, said Tuesday afternoon in an e-mail to The AP his client is also coming to Seattle. FoxSports.com first reported the trade.

Seattle has lost six players to injury at that position already this season, meaning Robinson and Colbert could play Sunday against St. Louis in a matchup of 0-2 teams.

Robinson could start relatively soon. The free agent, who played for Green Bay last season, started 52 games for Seattle from 2001-04. Coach Mike Holmgren values Robinson because he already knows his offense — unlike some of the players Seattle has recently tried at the position.

The deal for Colbert is believed to be for a fifth-round pick. It will likely become official on Wednesday, Ruskell said.

The 26-year-old Colbert has not caught a pass in two games with the Broncos after signing a three-year deal in March. He became tradable with the emergence of rookie Eddie Royal and the return of Brandon Marshall from suspension. Colbert was also behind former Seahawk Darrell Jackson and veteran Brandon Stokley.

JETS CUT PUNTER BEN GRAHAM: The New York Jets waived punter Ben Graham on Tuesday, two days after a poor outing in a loss to the New England Patriots.

Graham, a former Australian Football League star who was in his fourth season with the Jets, averaged just 27.3 net yards in the 19-10 loss. The Patriots benefited from excellent field position throughout the game, starting five of their nine offensive series in Jets territory.

Jets coach Eric Mangini, who discovered Graham in an AFL kicking competition in Australia 11 years ago, made it clear Monday that he was disappointed with the punting situation.

BUCS' MACK SUSPENDED: Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie cornerback Elbert Mack was suspended one game without pay by the NFL on Tuesday for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.
