Report: Seahawks decline to match 49ers' offer sheet for Gilliam

Share

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly will not match offensive tackle Garry Gilliam’s offer sheet with the 49ers.

Gilliam is traveling back to Santa Clara on Tuesday to begin taking part in the 49ers’ offseason program, the NFL Network reported.

The 49ers hosted Gilliam last week on a free-agent visit. On Monday, he signed a one-year, $2.2 million offer sheet as a restricted free agent. The Seahawks had the right of first refusal, but they receive no compensation for declining to match the offer.

Gilliam, who started 29 games the past two seasons at right tackle for the Seahawks, is expected to compete with Trent Brown for the 49ers’ starting job.
