Seahawks sign former Vikings DT Tom Johnson

RENTON, Wash. – The Seattle Seahawks continue to add pieces.

The Seahawks picked up some defensive-line help Friday, agreeing to a one-year contract with tackle Tom Johnson, who will turn 34 in August.

The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Johnson’s deal is worth up to $2.7 million. The Seahawks later confirmed they had signed Johnson.



Johnson played the past four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, who recently signed defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson away from the Seahawks.

The 33-year-old Johnson had 32 tackles and two sacks last season.
