The Seattle Seahawks, who already have one of the best defensive tackle rotations in the league, have further added to the depth at the position, by reaching a contract agreement with unrestricted free agent Russell Davis.
Davis, who visited earlier in the week with Seattle officials, is a seven-year veteran who played the last six seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He is coming off a 2005 season in which a torn biceps limited him to just three games, after he had missed just one game the previous four years.
The contract, ESPN.com has confirmed, is for three years but financial details were not yet available.
It was believed that when the Seahawks re-signed Rocky Bernard to a three-year contract earlier this week, they would no longer be interested in adding Davis to their tackle mix. But the Seahawks apprised Davis and his agent that the retention of Bernard would not preclude them from adding another tackle, and it took only two more days then to complete a deal.
