Report: Seahawks sign ex-Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski

Sebastian Janikowski, whose booming kicks for the Raiders made him one of the NFL’s most dominant kickers during the last two decades, has reportedly signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks.

The 40-year-old Janikowski, who was told by the Raiders two months ago he wouldn’t be returning to Oakland for his 18th season, will replace now free-agent kicker Blair Walsh in Seattle.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Janikowski’s deal with the Seahawks.
