Signed Seattle Seahawks 2010
Played for the Winnepeg Blue Bombers after being traded from Calgary in the CFL 2009
The Seattle Seahawks have begun the long process of rebuilding their roster by signing . . . a long snapper. And they found him in Canada, pilfering him from the roster of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. According to TSN, Pat McDonald has agreed to terms with the Seahawks. McDonald had prior stints with the Saints and Panthers before joining the Calgary Stampeders, who acquired his rights via round three of the CFL draft. (Who was their second-round pick that year? A holder?) McDonald won a Grey Cup with the Stampeders in 2008, and he was traded to the Blue Bombers in 2009. The Seahawks currently have two other long snappers on their roster -- Jeff Robinson and Kevin Houser.
