Seahawks agree to re-sign Mychal Kendricks for 2019, contingent on LB’s sentencing hearing

Seattle has agreed to re-sign veteran linebacker Mychal Kendricks. The former Super Bowl starter for Philadelphia started last season for the injured Wright as the Seahawks’ weakside linebacker—when Kendricks wasn’t suspended, or hurt, that is.
