A rare sight this season: Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry in action.

He couldn't live up to the hype. The Seahawks have traded disappointing linebacker Aaron Curry to the Oakland Raiders for almost nothing in return. Just two years ago, the Hawks selected Curry as the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL draft.

KPLU sports commentator Art Thiel calls it the biggest draft bust in Seahawks history. Find out what else he has to say on this issue tomorrow morning at 5:35 and 7:35 on 88.5 KPLU. Check back here for a blog of our conversation.
