Seattle's Wilhoite, Garvin lead new depth options at LB

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — While Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright remain in place as starters, the Seattle Seahawks have overhauled the rest of their linebacker group this offseason.

D.J. Alexander — acquired in a trade just before the start of training camp — joins free-agent additions Michael Wilhoite and Terence Garvin as part of a mostly retooled position group.

Wilhoite and Garvin are competing for the starting job at strong-side linebacker with Mike Morgan, who started three games at the spot last season and didn't re-sign with Seattle until Day 2 of training camp. Wilhoite comes over from the San Francisco 49ers while Garvin spent last year with the Washington Redskins.
