AP Source: Seahawks bring back Quinton Jefferson

The Seattle Seahawks are reuniting with defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson, agreeing to terms on a two-year deal, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Friday because the team had not announced the move. NFL Network first reported the Jefferson deal.

The Seahawks also announced they released defensive ends Carlos Dunlap and Kerry Hyder Jr.

Jefferson is coming off the most productive season of his career. Jefferson started all 17 games for the Las Vegas Raiders last season and set career highs in tackles (47), sacks (4 1/2) and forced fumbles (two).
