The Seahawks Friday made it official that they have signed linebacker Mychal Kendricks. Seattle waived as injured linebacker Jermaine Grace to make room for Kendricks on the 53-man roster.
Kendricks plead guilty last month to a felony insider trading charge, admitting he made $1.2 million in four illegal deals in 2014 and 2015 when he was still a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. He was released by the Browns after pleading guilty.
He is expected to be sentenced no earlier than January and could face 30-37 months in prison as a first-time offender.
He could also face an NFL suspension.
