The Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Will Blackmon on Monday, trying to address depth concerns in the secondary by bringing back a player they released in final cuts in 2013.

Blackmon, 30, was picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars after being cut by Seattle that summer and had played in 23 games, starting 11, for the Jaguars over the past two seasons.

The Jaguars released him Feb. 26.

In 2013, he tallied 40 tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception. Last season, he had 28 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble but missed the final eight games with a broken finger.

Blackmon, a fourth-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2006, has played nine years with the Packers (2006-09), New York Giants (2010-11) and Jaguars.

The Seahawks are shorthanded in the secondary: Byron Maxwell reportedly will sign a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday; Jeremy Lane is recovering from a broken arm and torn ACL suffered in the Super Bowl; and Tharold Simon is recovering from shoulder surgery.
