Allen Park — The Detroit Lions never formally ruled out re-signing defensive end Ziggy Ansah, but the team's actions spoke louder than words. Now, nearly two months after the start of free agency, Detroit's first-round pick from six years ago has found a new home.

According to multiple reports, Ansah has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks and is expected to sign the contract on Thursday.

Ansah leaves Detroit as one of the most-productive pass-rushers in franchise history, but also a player who could have done so much more had he been able to stay healthy.
