| Wed Jan 5 2011 | 20:16 | Raiders sign several to futures deals | ||||
Raiders signed RB Louis Rankin, P Glenn Pakulak, LB/S Quentin Scott, Gs Roy Schuening and Alex Parsons, WRs Shaun Bodiford and Damola Adeniji, TE Kevin Brock, DE Tommie Hill, CB Joe Porter, and FB Manase Tonga to futures contracts. | ||||||
11 is the largest futures haul of any team to date. Rankin has some potential as a kick returner. Porter runs an exceptional fort-yard dash time (go figure). The Raiders appear to be converting Scott from safety to linebacker. | ||||||
| Sat Sep 4 2010 | 20:40 | Seahawks waive Rankin, five others | ||||
Seahawks waived RB Louis Rankin, TE Nick Tow-Arnett, OL Joe Toledo, DE Rob Rose, OT Jacob Phillips, and LB Joe Pawelek. | ||||||
Julius Jones and Quinton Ganther both survived as the third and fourth running backs. Rankin will be a candidate for the practice squad. | ||||||
| Mon Jun 7 2010 | 08:48 | Rankin still fourth on the depth chart | ||||
Seahawks RB Louis Rankin is still fourth on the Seahawks RB depth chart, according to Clare Farnsworth of the team's official site. | ||||||
Rankin, who went to school at the University of Washington, is a local favorite but isn't the power back the Seahawks now need. He's not going to pass Justin Forsett or a healthy Leon Washington for a speed back role. | ||||||
