Report: Seahawks sign Shamar Stephen to add to defensive line depth

Can two former Minnesota Vikings replace one former-Seahawk-turned-Viking?

It’s not quite that simple, of course, but in the wake of seeing Sheldon Richardson sign as a free agent with Minnesota last week, Seattle has turned for the second time in two days to a former Viking to help replace Richardson on the defensive line.

Saturday, the Seahawks agreed to terms with free agent tackle Shamar Stephen on a one-year contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, a day after signing Tom Johnson. While Richardson signed a one-year deal worth up to $8 million, Johnson signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.
