You've probably heard this by now, but Chad Johnson's unhappy. Downright mad even. The Bengals receiver gradually increased the volume of his displeasure until his desire to be traded was expressed point blank this week to ESPN.com's John Clayton.

Well, whenever a player gets unhappy that triggers the question of whether the Seahawks would be interested. I've gotten no indication from anyone in Kirkland that Seattle would be interested. No definitive "No" either, but there's a number of facts that would point to him not being a Seahawk anytime soon. Namely:

1) The Bengals have given no intention they plan on trading him.

2) The concern about the Seahawks present configuration of receivers is greater outside the building than inside, which is to say the team feels pretty good about the group even though Deion Branch will be coming off knee surgery. The team likes youngsters like Jordan Kent, Courtney Taylor, Ben Obomanu and Logan Payne. So much so, in fact, that Seattle was willing to let D.J. Hackett head to Carolina instead of attempting to out-bid the Panthers.

3) Johnson's loquacious ways on the football field make him an entertaining character, but I don't think that's the kind of "character" president Tim Ruskell sets about to acquire. To be clear, though, Johnson's not some sort of social menace either. He's just loud. Then again, Darrell Jackson's ticket got punched out of Seattle for being petulant over his contract situation.

Now, it's worth pointing out that Seattle has taken on perceived character risks before with great results. Ricky Watters was considered a volatile player when he came to Seattle and there was no turmoil in his time with the team. Also, I want to emphasize at this point that no one in the Seahawks front office has said to me, "No, we're not interested," or "Absolutely not," but I think it's pretty reasonable to look at those three facts and conclude the Seahawks aren't going to be one of those teams trying to pry Johnson out of Cincinnati.

Pete Williams does a very good job of outlining the situation Tim Ruskell inherited when he accepted the job as Seahawks president. The franchise fired its president (Bob Whitsitt) and lost director of college scouting (Scot McCloughan) and vice president of football operations (Ted Thompson).

The Seahawks had two draft boards in that 2005 draft: One prepared according to the scouting protocol and reports from the previous regime and one assembled under Ruskell's methodology.

Three years have passed since that draft. The scouting department now prepares scouting reports according to the system Ruskell imported. Ruston Webster is now part of the front office, too.

But it's worth a look back to see how Seattle fared in that first draft under Ruskell. It's been three years, which is the time NFL executives will tell you is necessary for a selection.

The results? One Pro Bowl linebacker in Lofa Tatupu, two others who are solid starters in center Chris Spencer and linebacker Leroy Hill and Ray Willis who is still considered a potential contributor along the offensive line. Five other players the Seahawks drafted are off the team. Four are out of football entirely, and according to Stats Inc., that is tied for the most in the league.

For comparison's sake, here's how the Seahawks draft results compare to other teams from the NFC West:
