Report: Seahawks sign Kevin Williams

The Seahawks have reportedly added another body to their defensive line rotation.

Ed Werder of ESPN reports that Seattle has signed longtime Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams. Per Werder, it is a one-year deal worth more than $2 million.

Williams visited with the Seahawks in April, but spoke with several other teams since becoming a free agent. He also contemplated retiring if he didn’t get an offer worth his while, but that choice obviously was less appealing than joining up with the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Williams won’t play as prominent a role in Seattle as he did in Minnesota. His presence should allow the Seahawks to field another formidable defensive front after parting ways with players like Red Bryant and Chris Clemons. Williams, Tony McDaniel, Brandon Mebane, Jesse Williams and Jordan Hill give the team ample options to keep things fresh and productive at the point of attack.

Gotta agree with FRO.

Williams was very good, but he's slowing down quite a bit. Had only 29 combined tackles and 3.5 sacks last year.

Solid signing. Williams should still be a solid value as a pass rushing specialist on the inside. Definitely not a full-time starter at his age, but with fresh legs who knows?

Like some recent Rams signings (Joseph, for example), probably not much risk.
