Former New England Patriots defensive end DaMarcus Mitchell signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per the NFL’s transaction wire.
Mitchell was released by New England to make room for running back Ezekiel Elliott. He played in 16 of 17 games last season predominantly on special teams. At only 24 years old, he still has room to grow, and he could have potentially played a role on the New England defense.
He now serves as a piece for a Seattle defense that ranked 26th in the NFL last year with 361.
