Brandon Mebane has signed with the San Diego Chargers, according to a release from the team.
Mebane had been the longest-tenured Seahawk, drafted in the third round in 2007 and was one of just two players on the roster in 2015 who pre-dated Pete Carroll — the other is punter Jon Ryan, also an unrestricted free agent.
The Chargers reported that Mebane signed a three-year contract though no financial details were released.
The Seahawks on Monday re-signed defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin, and it had been regarded as a priority for the Seahawks to keep at least one of their two starting defensive tackles.
