Coach Pete Carroll said months ago he wanted better depth at linebacker, a guy who could possibly be able to start behind Pro Bowl veterans Bobby Wagner and/or K.J. Wright.
His Seahawks apparently are about to get one.
Ian Rapoport of the league-owned NFL Network reported Thursday night former San Francisco starting linebacker Michael Wilhoite has agreed to sign with Seattle.
Former #49ers LB Michael Wilhoite is signing with the #Seahawks, source said. A familiar division foe.

Wilhoite, 30, has made 34 starts the last three seasons as a inside linebacker in the 49ers' 3-4 scheme.
