The Seahawks have retained one of the NFL’s more versatile backup defensive linemen.
The club has re-signed defensive end Demarcus Dobbs, agent Wesley Spencer announced on Twitter.
Dobbs (6-2, 282) appeared in four regular season games and three postseason games for Seattle after being claimed on waivers from San Francisco in November. Overall, the 27-year-old Dobbs has notched 37 tackles in 49 regular season games since entering the NFL in 2011.
In addition to playing defensive end, Dobbs can also play tight end in a pinch. The 49ers tried him on offense earlier in his career, though defense has been his job for the bulk of his NFL experience.
