Btw, this isn't exactly fantasy camp for Nate Robinson. Started 6 games as true frosh CB at Washington in '02, then chose to focus on hoops.

Doesn't sound like the #Seahawks will be signing local star PG/DB Nate Robinson -- today. But... they'll keep in contact for down the road.

Back in April, Robinson told ESPN he had spoken to three teams, so it sound like he's just getting started:
"I've heard from a couple of scouts. I talked to a scout from the Seahawks about the possibility of working out. Calls from a couple of other teams — the Patriots, I know a guy from the Cardinals. So just trying to get my name out to see if I can get a workout. We're definitely going to try to do that once I get back home."
We'll continue to keep an eye on Robinson and what materializes as he continues to push forward.
