Apparently, the Seattle Seahawks liked what they saw from Sebastian Janikowski.
On Friday, the Seahawks signed the veteran kicker, according to the team’s official Twitter account. Janikowski had visited the team on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old Janikowski, who did not play last year because of back injury he suffered in training camp, is now slated to compete for the job with Jason Myers. Myers signed with the team in January.
The Seahawks’ need for a new kicker came after they let Blair Walsh’s contract expire. Walsh played one year for Seattle but failed to live up to the consistency the Seahawks had enjoyed for years when Steven Hauschka held the job.
