Seahawks sign kicker John Lunsford, and wrapping up a few other free agent notes

Even after the Seahawks signed kicker Blair Walsh as a possible replacement for Stephen Hauschka, team execs said they expected to sign another kicker for competition.

The Seahawks did just that on Wednesday, signing kicker John Lunsford, who had been waived by Tampa Bay earlier this week.

“We’ll be looking at somebody else to come in and compete, as well, too,” Seahawks general manager said a few weeks ago at the NFL combine following the signing of Walsh.

Lunsford, who attended Liberty, was originally signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent and played in three preseason games for the 49ers, then was signed by Tampa Bay before being released when the Bucs signed Nick Folk.
