Steven Hauschka, Seattle’s kicker since 2011 and the second-leading points scorer in team history, will sign with the Buffalo Bills, according to various reports. Hauschka became expendable when the Seahawks signed former Minnesota kicker Blair Walsh to a deal for about a third of the money of the $2.7 million Hauschka made in 2016 in the final season of a three-year deal he signed with Seattle in the spring of 2014.
While Seahawks GM John Schneider said last week at the NFL Combine the door wouldn’t be closed on Hauschka returning to compete with Walsh, it had been viewed as unlikely that would happen.
