Source: Seahawks to sign ex-Lions DE Ansah

Former Detroit Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, a league source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The acquisition of Ansah will help offset the loss of DE Frank Clark, who was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.

By waiting until Thursday, the Seahawks won't lose a 2020 compensatory pick by signing Ansah. Any unrestricted free agents signed after 4 p.m. ET on May 7 no longer count against the formula used to determine comp picks the following season.
