The Seahawks have agreed to a one-year deal with Aldon Smith (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport). The deal came together pretty quickly, following the edge rusher’s Wednesday visit.

Smith’s multitude of suspensions and off-the-field incidents kept him out of the league for years. He was pretty much off of everyone’s radar, up until last year when the Cowboys signed him to a low-cost one-year deal. Smith managed to shake off the rust, tallying five sacks, two fumble recoveries, and 14 quarterback hits on 73% of Dallas’ defensive snaps.
All of Smith’s sacks came in the first half of the season. Around that time, the Seahawks took notice and tried to pry the veteran away from the Cowboys just before the deadline. Even though they were rebuffed, they managed to get their man a few months later.
After recording 46 sacks last year to finish seventh in the league, the Seahawks have done their best to keep the band together. Carlos Dunlap — the Seahawks’ Plan B when the Smith talks fell through — was re-signed to a two-year deal in late March. Smith will be joined up front by Benson Mayowa, who has a fresh one-year contract, and fellow newcomer Kerry Hyder, who joined on a three-year, $16.5MM accord.
This is terrible news for other nfc west teams. Hope he can continue to stay out of trouble
Does that help the problems the offense has no
Maybe not indirectly but the signing of OL Gabe Jackson, RB Chris Carson, TE Gerald Everett does

You are either not from here or are a conservative caught in a liberal area. Move out of King County there are great places to live here. Even in King County go east young man go east. Issaquah and east you are good.
The NFL desperately needs some “feel good” stories during this pandemic so here’s hoping Aldon can continue his comeback successfully with the Hawks.
