The Seahawks have signed free agent linebacker Khairi Fortt (pronounced ky-REE), and have released rookie linebacker Christian French to make room. French was released with an injury designation so if he clears waivers he will be added to the Seahawks' injured reserve list.
Fortt has played for the Bengals and Jaguars, and was drafted by the Saints in the 4th round of the 2014 draft. He's a height-weight-speed prospect with some upside but hasn't really shown much on the field as of yet.
Khairi Fortt from Cal. Pretty decent marks: 6'2"/248, 4.68s, 1.66 split, 30 bench, 36" vert, 10'00" broad, 4.
