Seahawks finally add linebacker, sign former Bills player

Having let Jordyn Brooks, Bobby Wagner, and Devin Bush all go in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks strongly indicated that they’re starting anew at linebacker. All that was missing was, well, actually adding players.

The process has begun with the signing of Tyrel Dodson, formerly of the Buffalo Bills.

Dodson was undrafted out of Texas A&M, but spent six games of his rookie season under suspension after he was arrested on domestic violence and disorderly conduct charges, ultimately pleading guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
