Michael Boulware traded

Texans trade Babin to Seattle for Boulware By John McClain:

Injuries forced general manager Rick Smith and coach Gary Kubiak to be in the market to acquire a veteran safety, and Saturday afternoon, they traded defensive end Jason Babin to Seattle for strong safety Michael Boulware.

Babin, a first-round pick in 2004, had two sacks in preseason and a team-leading five in 2006. The Seahawks want him to improve their pass rush.

Boulware, a second-round pick in 2004, started 10 games last season, including two in the playoffs. The Texans want him to upgrade a position vacated when Glenn Earl suffered a season-ending foot injury early in camp and currently manned by Jason Simmons, who is more valuable as a backup.

This move was likely in response to the excellent play of C.J. Wallace. Boulware had too much value just to cut, so the Seahawks got something in return. It looks like C.J. Wallace will make the team, and that could mean no Courtney Taylor. Or more likely the writing is on the wall for Craig Terrill or Will Herring. Wallace can fill Herring's role on special teams.

Someone commented below that Josh Parry was cut. Perhaps that person knows Parry. If that is true, then I would imagine his spot went to Marquis Weeks or David Kirtman. I would lean toward Kirtman, but he is practice squad eligible, so that could swing things in favor of Weeks.
