Seahawks bring back versatile DB Shead

The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back versatile defensive back DeShawn Shead, a former special teams standout and starter in the Legion of Boom.

Shead's deal is for one year and the veteran minimum salary, a source told ESPN.

The Seahawks announced Shead's return Saturday, along with three other roster moves. They signed undrafted rookie linebacker Ja'Wuan James, who took part in their rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. Seattle placed linebacker Emmanuel Ellerbee on injured reserve and waived receiver Caleb Scott with a non-football injury designation.

Shead, 30, became one of several UDFA success stories with the Seahawks after going undrafted out of Portland State in 2012.
