Steve Hutchinson Rumors & News

Jake Locker's career hasn't started out with a flashy winning streak or an easy trip to the playoffs, but those that think Locker is a bust already are really missing the devil in the details. Firstly, lets talk about just how unlucky Locker was to have the combination of Steve Hutchinson, Deuce Lutui, Leroy Harris, Kevin Mathews, Kyle Devan, and Mitch Petrus all see time as starters on the interior of the offensive line due to injures. Since they all played so poorly we will call that group the "Subs". Together the subs managed to allow 45 hurries, 13 hits, and 10 sacks on 2,053 snaps...

Before Rick Spielman was named GM, the Vikings were usually big players in free agency. They paid top dollar for guys like Steve Hutchinson, Chester Taylor, Bernard Berrian, Madieu Williams, and Brett Favre. They also made a big trade in 2008 to acquire Jared Allen, and it took the Vikings to within a whisper of the Super Bowl in 2009. But since then, Rick Spielman has slowly used the draft to re-build a Vikings roster that was being overcome with age, declining play, and lack of depth. As players like Favre, Taylor, Williams, and Hutch left they were replaced with Christian Ponder,...

Who Do You Blame? This is (probably) the last time you're going to see me write about Percy Harvin for hopefully a long, long time. We do have a tendency to give you updates on former Vikings who make major news, be they guys respected and missed (Steve Hutchinson) or occasionally even guys reviled and, uh, not-missed (Bryant McKinnie), so there is the chance you'll see an article or two every great once in a while about the guy. But I wanted to cap this entire s***-storm of a clusterf*** by asking a simple question and running a simple poll. In the various stories all throughout this...

It seems almost fitting that, on a day when the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks made the biggest news of the 2013 NFL off-season (to this point, anyway), a guy that was the subject of controversy between the two teams at about this time seven years ago had announced he's hanging it up. Steve Hutchinson, who played for the Seahawks for five seasons before coming to Minnesota and, eventually, finishing his career with the Tennessee Titans, has announced that he's going to be retiring tomorrow. Hutchinson, who was selected by the Seahawks with the 17th overall pick in the 2001 NFL ...

Reports are coming out (from both Jim Wyatt and Jay Glazer) that veteran Titans OG Steve Hutchinson will announce his retirement from the NFL tomorrow. Hutchinson joined the Titans last year after a lengthy career as one of the most lauded and highly-paid guards of the 2000's. Hutch came into the league in 2001 with the Seattle Seahawks, then left to join the Minnesota Vikings in one of the more controversial free agency moves you'll ever see: Seattle put the transition tag on Hutchinson, and the Vikings created a contract with a 'poison pill', which would have hammered the Seahawks if...
