The Facts: Dorsett said in a meeting with reporters on Tuesday that he actually had the chance to come to Seattle a year ago before electing to stay with the New England Patriots. “I could have went a lot of different places but I just felt like this was the right fit,” Dorsett said of his decision to sign with the Seahawks. “I felt like it was one year – not too late because I could have come last year and I chose to stay in New England, but I didn’t want to make that mistake again.”
Diehards Line:
Dorsett made it clear afterward that he didn’t regret his time with the Patriots. He was a part of teams that won the AFC East in each of the last three years with two trips to the Super Bowl, including a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. However, he was ready to make a change and Seattle provided the opportunity he was looking for. Dorsett didn’t visit the Seahawks last year when he was a free agent and wasn’t able to visit this year due to restrictions. In fact, he has yet to make it to Pacific Northwest at all. He’s never played a game against Seattle either during his five seasons in the NFL. But the chase to chase deep balls from Russell Wilson was too exciting a proposition to pass up. “Obviously with (offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer) being there, and then bringing in (senior offensive assistant Sanjay Lal), I was familiar with a lot of guys on the staff,” Dorsett said. “I felt like this is the right offense for me. Obviously Russell, he’s a great quarterback. The way he plays quarterback, the way this offense is, it fits my skill-set.” That said, it also fits the skill-sets of Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. So it remains to be seen where Dorsett fits in.
