Whether by trade or by outright release, the Seattle Seahawks and wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh appear set to part ways before the 2010 season.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has the details.

The Seattle Seahawks will cut ties with T.J. Houshmandzadeh by trading or releasing him, according to two league sources, and it will promote former Detroit first-round draft pick Mike Williams into its starting lineup for a Sept. 12 game against San Francisco.

Good news for Williams, but this move doesn’t make Seattle better in the short-term. An offseason of perplexing moves continues for the Seahawks.
