Seahawks bring back J.R. Sweezy, a starter on 2013 Super Bowl team

J.R. Sweezy, a starter for all but one game at right guard when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in 2013 and 49 games overall from 2012-15, is back in Seattle, re-signing with the Seahawks on Wednesday.

To make room on the 90-man roster the Seahawks waived as injured offensive lineman Avery Young.

Sweezy signed as a free agent with Tampa Bay following the 2015 season. But he became a free agent in June when he had his contract terminated by the Bucs in a cost-cutting move — he was owed $15.5 million over the next three seasons as part of a five-year, $32.
