Defensive tackle Al Woods is returning for 3rd stint with Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back a familiar face to the defensive line. Al Woods will be returning to the Seahawks’ roster for the third time in his career. His agency SportsTrust Advisors tweeted the news Friday afternoon.

Woods played for the Seahawks in 2011 and then again in 2019. He opted out of the season with the Jaguars last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

His new deal with Seattle is apparently for one year, valued at $3.0 million with a $750,000 signing bonus, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Woods is clearly a more affordable option for the Seahawks this year, who are now being forced to release long-time started Jarran Reed to comply with this year’s reduced salary cap.
