Or, what day the team had called him. Or, what day he had flown from his home in Florida to Seattle.
But the veteran cornerback did know two things: He’s glad to be back in the NFL, and that the chance came with the Seahawks.
“I couldn’t ask for a better team to call me and give me a shot to come in and help the team out,” Fisher said Sunday. “If I was to chose a team to come to, this would be one of the teams I would chose. It’s a first-class organization.”

That’s why Fisher was signed, and rushed onto the field after a whirlwind few days.
“They called me Friday,” Fisher said. “Wait. Actually, it was Saturday. Man, I don’t even know what day it is. I guess it was Thursday I got a call. Maybe it was Thursday.”
Regardless of what day it was, Fisher made the trip Saturday and won a roster spot with his tryout Sunday morning.
“I did some things I haven’t done in a while,” he said. “I had to run a 40 (-yard dash).”
How fast was he? “I don’t know, they didn’t tell,” he said. “But it was fast.”
The Lions released Fisher, 29, after the April NFL draft. Since then, he’s been back in Florida working out and waiting for a phone call.
“I got back in the sun and just trained, trained, trained,” he said of a routine that included boxing and a lot of running.
After enduring an 0-16 season with the Lions, Fisher attacked his training like he was starting his career over again.
“I was very surprised when they released me, knowing that they didn’t have any DBs in Detroit and really needed the help back there,” he said. “So I was very surprised.”
Fisher is no stranger to the Seahawks. Before playing the past two seasons with the Lions, he spent five with the NFC West rival St. Louis Rams – the team that selected him in the second round of the 2002 draft.
“I’m a new face, but a lot of people are familiar with me because we played the Seahawks so often,” Fisher said. “There were great battles between us every year.”
He has started 74 of his 86 NFL games, and intercepted nine passes.
“Travis is a good player,” said defensive lineman
“Good player. Good guy. It’s great to have him on the team.”
Fisher already is the team leader in one category – longest hair. He has not had it cut nine or 10 years and wears his hair in dreadlocks.
The previous leader in the clubhouse was safety
“I’m kind of jealous,” Wallace said through a smile. “I’ll catch him. Give me a couple months.”
