The Seahawks on Tuesday night agreed to terms with veteran defensive end Dwight Freeney to add to the team’s pass rush after putting Cliff Avril on Injured Reserve late last week.
The Seahawks had not filled Avril’s spot on the 53-man roster and Freeney will fill it when he officially signs his contract. He agreed to terms after a visit and workout and physical with the Seahawks on Tuesday afternoon.
Freeney announced the agreement on Twitter Tuesday night stating: “Time to get loud, 12s.” The team later confirmed that Freeney had agreed to a one-year contract. He is expected to practice for the first time with the Seahawks on Wednesday with the intention of making his debut when Seattle hosts Houston on Sunday.
