Biography:

2004: In February of 2005, Matt Hasselbeck signed a 6-year, $47 million-dollar contract with the Seahawks, validating his status as the team’s franchise quarterback and the future of the team at the position. Although he was stymied a bit by injuries and receiver drops in 2004, Hasselbeck enjoyed his second consecutive high-quality season. He completed 279 of 474 passes for 3382 yards and 22 TDs and 15 INTs. His pocket presence has improved exponentially over the years, and his ability to go through reads has greatly improved over time. Hasselbeck does not have a deft touch with the deep ball, but he’s as good as there is on short and medium-range passes, making him a valuable component in Mike Holmgren’s West Coast Offense.

2003: Validated one of the finest seasons by a quarterback in Seahawks history with a trip to the Pro Bowl after leading Seattle to its first-ever undefeated home record. Finished the season second in the NFC with a franchise-record 3,841 passing yards and tied for second with 26 touchdown passes. Passer rating of 88.8 was third in the conference, while his rating on third down (107.3) was second in the NFC (3rd NFL). In addition to setting the club record for most passing yards in a single season (surpassing Warren Moon’s 1997 total—3,678), he tied Moon’s single-season club record for most completions (313).

2002: Started 10 games after entering camp as the team’s second quarterback behind Trent Dilfer. Completed 267 of 419 passes for 3,075 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for an 87.8 passer rating. Passed for more than 300 yards four times and surpassed 400 yards twice, both club records for a single season. Set team marks for completions (36) and yards (449) at San Diego (12/29) after attempting a franchise record 55 passes at San Francisco (12/1). Completion percentage (63.7) was tops in the NFC (5th NFL) and 87.8 passer rating was second in the NFC (6th NFL).

2001: Opened season as the Seahawks’ starter and finished starting 12 of 13 games played. Attempted 321 passes completing 176 (54.8%) for 2,023 yards, seven touchdowns, and eight interceptions for a 70.9 rating. Hasselbeck had a string of 123 pass attempts without an interception, tied for the seventh-longest streak in team history.

2000: Played in all 16 games, serving primarily as the holder on the extra point and field goal units for the Packers. Saw action under center in four games backing up Brett Favre for a second straight year. Completed 10 of 19 passes for 104 yards and one touchdown without an interception for a 86.3 passer rating.

1999: Won the role of backup in Green Bay with an impressive preseason performance. Played in all 16 games as the holder for extra point and field goal teams and saw action in four games at quarterback. Attempted 10 passes, completing three for 41 yards and a touchdown, without an interception.

1998: Spent the entire season on the Packers’ practice squad.
