Asked two days after the season to name some positions in need of upgrade, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll mentioned adding depth at linebacker.
The first apparent attempt to do that came Wednesday with Seattle reported as getting a visit from veteran 49ers’ linebacker Michael Wilhoite.
Wilhoite, who turned 30 on Dec. 7, started six games last season for the 49ers and 36 overall the last four years before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Wilhoite played inside linebacker in the 49ers’ 3-4 defense (SF is now expected to go to a 4-3 under new coordinator Robert Saleh, a former Seahawks assistant) and would appear likely to be brought in as depth behind Bobby Wagner and/or K.
