After Blair Walsh’s failures, Seahawks sign ex-Jacksonville kicker, 7 others to futures contracts

The Blair Walsh Project failed.

The Seahawks have taken a step to fix it for 2018.

The NFL’s official transactions for Wednesday showed Seattle signed former Jacksonville kicker Jason Myers to a futures contract. That means Myers will be on the 90-man offseason roster when workouts begin for the Seahawks in mid-April.

Seattle signed Walsh, a 2012 All-Pro for the Minnesota Vikings, to a one-year contract for $800,000 last spring. That was to get four years younger and $2.45 million cheaper than former kicker Steven Hauschka. Hauschka then signed with Buffalo.
