RENTON — There is no longer any question as to whether the Seahawks have their Ansah as a defensive end. Defensive end Ezekiel “Ziggy’’ Ansah made it official Friday that he will become a Seahawk, signing his 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 Friday.
