Seahawks sign TE Moeaki, WR Walters

Published

on

The Seattle Seahawks signed veteran tight end Tony Moeaki amid a flurry of moves Tuesday that also included re-signing wide receiver Bryan Walters.

Moeaki was a third-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010, but his once-promising career has been derailed by injuries. He suffered an assortment of injuries during his three seasons with the Chiefs, and signed with the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 4, 2013. He did not catch a pass during two games and then had his contract terminated Sept. 1 with an injury settlement after dealing with a hamstring issue most of training camp.

The Seahawks have been juggling their tight end depth chart with Zach Miller recovering from ankle surgery. Among Tuesday’s moves, the Seahawks released tight end Brett Brackett from the practice squad.

Walters has been on and off the roster numerous times over the past two seasons. He has five catches for 44 yards this season and leads the Seahawks with 12 punt returns, averaging 9.1 yards, while also returning a pair of kickoffs for 43 yards.

The team also released linebacker L.J. fort and waived safety Terrance Parks with an injury settlement. Wide receiver Chris Matthews was waived from the practice squad while signing safety Dion Bailey and wide receiver Jalen Saunders to the unit. Saunders was a fourth-round pick by the New York Jets in May, and had six punt returns before being released Sept. 29 and spending most of October with the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad.

It was also announced that cornerback Eric Pinkins will stay on the reserve/non-football injury list, ending his season. The sixth-round rookie has been recovering from a foot injury and had returned to practice, but Seattle decided he was not ready to be placed on the 53-man roster.
