RENTON — There is no longer any question as to whether the Seahawks have their Ansah at defensive end. Free-agent Ezekiel “Ziggy’’ Ansah, thought to be the best pass-rusher available, made it official Friday that he will become a Seahawk, signing a one-year contract with the team at the VMAC in Renton.
Seattle waived veteran defensive end Nate Orchard, who had signed as a free agent last month, to make room on the team’s 90-man roster.
The move completed a dizzying 48 hours or so for the Seahawks in which they reached agreement with Ansah on Wednesday night, signed three other players, notably cornerback Jamar Taylor, on Thursday morning, and then cut Kam Chancellor and Doug Baldwin with the failed physical designation Thursday afternoon, and then officially signed Ansah on Friday.
