Austin Seferian-Jenkins signs with Jacksonville, so Seahawks left to turn to other tight end options

Austin Seferian-Jenkins is signing a two-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which Seferian-Jenkins confirmed via Twitter, leaving the Seahawks left to look for other options as they attempt to fill the void at tight end created by the departure of Jimmy Graham.

Seferian-Jenkins, a native of Gig Harbor who played at UW, was reported to be signing a two-year deal worth up to $11 million with the Jaguars, who earlier in the day also signed free agent tight end Niles Paul. Paul is more of a blocking tight end and Seferian-Jenkins regarded as more of a pass-catching tight end and the Jaguars apparently saw the two as good complements for each other in their offense.
