Seattle has brought back a familiar face.
The Seahawks announced on Friday that the club has signed safety Marquise Blair.
Blair was a Seattle second-round pick back in 2019, but his tenure with the club was marred by injury. He played 14 games as a rookie but just eight games over the next two seasons before he was waived in Aug. 2022.
Since that time, he appeared in three games for the Panthers in 2022 before joining Philadelphia’s practice squad. He was released by the Eagles in April 2023 with a non-football injury designation.
In 25 games with three starts, Blair has 50 total tackles with three passes defensed and three forced fumbles.
As a corresponding roster move, the Seahawks have waived safety Jonathan Sutherland.
The Seahawks announced a handful of roster moves on Thursday afternoon.
They have signed wide receiver Ty Scott to their 90-man roster and they activated linebacker Easton Gibbs from the non-football injury list. They waived cornerback Andrew Whitaker to create space for Scott.
Scott spent time with the Chiefs after going undrafted last year and then moved on to the UFL’s DC Defenders. He had 25 catches for 418 yards and three touchdowns while playing in the spring league.
It’s the second time this week that the Seahawks have signed a wideout who played in the UFL as they signed Marcus Simms. Running back Ricky Person Jr. also landed in Seattle after the UFL season.
The Seahawks and Pro Bowl safety Julian Love have agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $36 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Love, 26, signed a two-year, $12 million deal as a free agent in 2023 and earned Pro Bowl honors despite sharing snaps with Jamal Adams. Love played 79 percent of the defensive plays and finished second on the team in tackles with 183 and led the Seahawks with four interceptions.
The Seahawks released Adams and Quandre Diggs in March and signed Rayshawn Jenkins to pair with Love.
The Giants made Love a fourth-round pick in 2019, and he spent his first four seasons in New York. He has 414 tackles, nine interceptions, 28 passes defensed and four forced fumbles in five seasons.
Linebackers Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson are ready to get on the field with the Seahawks.
The two players were placed on the physically unable to perform list by the team last week, but the Seahawks announced that they have been activated on Wednesday. Both players signed with the team as free agents this offseason, so they are now set for their first training camp work since coming to Seattle.
Cornerback Lance Boykin was activated by the Seahawks as well. The three activations mean five of the 12 players the Seahawks put on injury lists have already been cleared to return.
The Seahawks also added a pair of players to the 90-man roster. They signed former UFL receiver Marcus Simms and undrafted rookie tackle Jalen Sundell.
The Seahawks are checking in with a veteran offensive lineman.
Center Connor Williams is taking a visit with Seattle on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Williams, 27, is coming off a torn ACL suffered in Week 14 while playing for the Dolphins last season. He spent 2022 and 2023 with Miami, starting 26 games for the AFC East squad.
A second-round pick in 2018, Williams appeared in 57 games with 51 starts for the Cowboys in his first four seasons.
