Seahawks bring back fan favorite Willson, acquire extra CB

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks brought back a familiar face on Tuesday and made a trade for a position in need of some depth.

The Seahawks signed veteran tight end Luke Willson and acquired cornerback John Reid from Houston for a conditional late-round draft pick. Willson’s signing was official on Tuesday while Reed’s trade is expected to be finalized on Wednesday.

Both moves are tied to depth concerns and injuries with expected contributors for Seattle. With Willson, his signing comes after Colby Parkinson went down with a small fracture in his foot earlier in training camp.
