Seahawks sign Mychal Kendricks while he awaits sentencing for insider trading felony

Sometimes you just can’t make things up. The Seattle Seahawks are adding some linebacker depth, signing Mychal Kendricks to a one-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Kendricks is expected to play on Monday when they face the Chicago Bears.

Kendricks is a talented linebacker, but there is one slight problem. He pled guilty to insider trading, and faces jail time. His sentencing date is January 24, and sentencing guidelines suggest 30-37 months of jail time, according to Schefter. His guilty plea might get him less, but it is safe to say he’s headed to prison for at least a little bit of time.
