Pending moves at the receiver position in Seattle will create reverbations around the NFL.

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

The 32-year-old Houshmanzadeh caught 79 passes last season and will be a bargain for another team this season.
