Kirkland, WA (My Sportsbook) - The Seattle Seahawks signed free agent defensive end Chike Okeafor to a two-year contract on Monday. The deal is worth $4 million and also includes a $2 million signing bonus. The 27-year-old will be entering his fifth NFL season. He spent his first four years with San Francisco, where he recorded 112 tackles and 13 sacks. Last year, the 6-4, 265-pounder started in all 16 games and made 43 tackles with 6 1/2 sacks. "I'm very excited for the opportunity to reach my potential," said Okeafor. "I've been playing a little bit out of position. This will be my opportunity to make big plays. That's the name of the game." Okeafor is expected to bolster a defensive line that was ranked 28th in the league last year. |
