Report: Seahawks expected to be ‘very interested’ in former UW standout Austin Seferian-Jenkins

It’s been considered pretty much a foregone conclusion for a while now that Jimmy Graham will not re-sign with the Seahawks and will enter free agency this week and move on.

One more piece of evidence to support idea that came Sunday in a report from national NFL writer Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com that the Seahawks are expected to be among the teams who will be “very interested” in free agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

That Seattle could show interest in Seferian-Jenkins has also been considered as likely for quite a while, and one reason is Seferian-Jenkins’ ties to the area — he was a standout at Gig Harbor High and then played three years at Washington, also playing one season of basketball.
